My turntable has rather an odd arm on it. From the pivot forward it looks like a Rega RB250 but the counterweight and stub is completely different. The very end of the stub is labelled as an Audio-Technica AT1005/II and the stub is chromed metal...

All over the 'audiophile community' claims are made about aural effects, many are contradictory (viz 'The Mana Effect' and 'Non Ferrous Rules').It seems to me that it would be fun to try and accumulate some evidence and that there are a bunch of keen...

Just one question: Who in this forum has tried this and what were the sonic benefits. If anyone has direct experience of Kan II stands I would appreciate input.Thanks,Peter

Hi All,I have been offered an Ekos 1 with bearings in reasonable nick apparently. I am currently using the following: LP12/Lingo/Ittok LVIII/v2/MC Rohmann. From the descriptions of the Ekos I have read it sounds as if my Ittok is fairly similar: no...

Hi folks. I just wanted to express my thanks to Bob & Derek at Neat Acoustics for popping in last night to fix an errant base-plate on one of my Gravitas speakers - it sure was good to see you guys and I hope you found your way out of Edinburgh easily enough (what with our constantly mutating one-way systems). As ever, it's great to be on the receiving end of great service - a surprisingly rare thing these days! Looking forward to hearing the Ultimatuum speakers - that shound be an...

Recent events around the demise of my Dynavector XX1-L have convinced me that I need specialist hi-fi insurance to complement my standard household policy.Any advice on the best companies in the UK would be gratefully received.

On the Audiogon web-site they have a s/h XPS and a s/h SuperCap for sale. These beasts are pretty rare in the s/h market. Nothing better under the tree than a box from Naim Audio with a gift tag saying "To John, From John" on it.

Hi,Is there a market for a .5 facelift upgrade for the old style wide case pre-amps ?My thoughts here are the same internals, but with modern (eg NAP500 styling) case.A couple of options for Naim here (I don't expect a direct response, although a ...

In a previous thread it asked about a possible DVD player?Is there any plans to introduce a DAB tuner?

I was just admiring the internals of the NAP6-50 in the Autumn News brochure but it got me wondering why it is that Naim haven't gone down the surface mount route when so many others have. Linn especially made a big play of it.Any ideas?

I've got a Rega Planar 2 which doesn't sound right. It is connected to the following NAC62/NAP 140, Celestion A2's. I haven't used the deck for nearly a year, since I bought the Celestions. I have been enjoying My CD3.5 and Flatcap in my system.I have...
