It says here, "All times are GMT."In fact they are now BST, as the posted times seem to be such. I know that I made a posting alerting Naim in March that the clocks had indeed moved forward by one hour, but the Forum was still behind...Peter stockwell...

My local dealer reckons the mains plug should have the fuse correctly installed (only 2 ways to do it I presume) and assured me he wasn't jerking my chain. I've not tried it incase I have to explain myself to unexpected visitors. I could imagine a...

Hello,I intend to recap my valhalla board, it's Vout is a little low. Hopefully shotgunning all the electrolytics will solve it without getting to into it. What I can't figure out is how to disconnect the ribbon wire that connects the power switch to...
I was wondering what the CD & Vinyl/hi-fi cost ratios were for the rest of you? I have approx 1000 records & CDs and spent £2500 on my hi-fi (this is actual price - most of it is used) so my ratio is around 1000/2500 = 0.4 - whats yours? I wonder what values things become silly? 4 copies of 'Dark Side of the Moon' and a £30K system (0.000133333)? Regards Stephen waiting for a pump to pump down

In a weird twist to my own insurance saga, it seems that my dealer have pronounced my phono stage well and truly buggered after all (which really surprised me) so I'm in the market for a new one.First up, I'm looking for ideas, but I'm not so keen on...

With this money you could buy a CDX/XPS and most forees would. But you could also buy a CDS II head unit and a second hand CDPS. The latter combination sounds much better.
