I have been considering buying one for sometime.Not wanting to be in too much of a hurry I resisted buying the Rega Planar3(new) instead having MM boards fitted to my Nait3, buying some 2nd hand vinyl and searching the appropriate sales columns in...

Received a very interesting call from my buddy that while waiting for the world to turn, he installed a 112 in place of his 82, which was powered by a Supercap and was astonished by the sound. Made us wonder if it was the Supercap that made the most...

I once had an Audio Technica electronic stylus cleaner, which was a great gadget. I understand that "the mould has broken" and they are not made anymore.Has anyone found a viable replacement, or an alternative cleaning device / procedure ?David

This is my first post in this forum and I would greatfully appreciate some upgrading advice. I am the owner of a system that has remained untouched for a number of years. It consists of LP12/Ittok/K9/Philips CD850 Mk1/NAC62/Hi-Cap/NAP250/Gale 302...

do you guys envisage a time when, with advances in modern technology, speakers will actually becomes smaller and smaller and also better? or is it the case that physics will always conspire against this? i.e. if you need to move more air -- you need...

This is for my brother. He has a Cyrus amp with PSX built during those years when Cyrus was trying to be politically correct and installed those dreaded 3 mm banana sockets. Now that the world has realised what a daft idea that was, my bro is stuck...

I did a bunch of things to my system this weekend.NAC52It started with the arrival of my 52 on Friday. As to those who say Naim gear sounds "bad" before it's broken in, I would like to say that they're full of it. I realize that it will improve over...

I'm planning to spend less time at the forum for a while [although I'll still be coming] so I thought I'd better apologise in advance to anyone I don't reply to in the alarming number of threads that I've contributed to lately. Just to prove I'm not fishing, I've ticked the "close topic" box so that nobody can answer. --Jeremy

Having bought Hi-Fi News for the free hi-fi show ticket I decided to open it. On p.31 I found the SAP Relaxa 1. This is not some sordid, deathly legacy from the Vietnam war but a "magnetic levitation isolation platform" which relies on the forces of...

I have been told by a surprising number outside this forum that bi-amping 250s does/should sound better than 135s (with N805s). Having 2 250s already I very much hoped this was true since I would thus be spared another upgrade path. Nonetheless, some...

I have been offered a pair of 1992 135's, one owner, recently serviced by Naim, for £2700. Is this a fair price ?
