I have heard that Vuk Vuksanovic having discovered a stand that is better than Mana, electronics that are better than Naim, a turntable that destroys a P9, and a composer with more drama than Furtwankler has resigned from all hifi internet forums and...

Dear all,Recently, I had to relocate my Naim system in my apartment. After reconnecting the components, I had a bad surprise. One end of the Burndy connection between my 52 and supercap appears to have a broken contact: the right channel comes and...

At the risk of attracting scorn on this forum (judging by other comments about ML I have seen), I wanted to relay a problem and solution with driving ML CLS loudspeakers. Anyone who has owned these knows they are not very efficient and have a very low...

Would goldplating a tonearm (armtube or counterweight) affect the sound noticably?I believe that tonearms are desinged to only vibrate outside the audible frequency range and that goldplating on the base is not uncommon (SME being an obvious example)...

Who has info? What did it use for power supply, and could it be powered by a snaps or snaps2? Would it be superior to the phono boards in a 32-5? How much inferior to a Stageline would it be? Would it be worth picking up on the cheap?--Eric

Howdy folks,I know there are still a lot of vinyl-loversamong you Naimoholics.Now, since I always had a crush for analog replay(but don't own more than about 25 LP's) I was wondering this...:I'm just a poor bloke, so can't afford a Linn LP-12 right...

Totay I purchased a second hand CD3 with which I am very pleased. However, the remote had been badly chewed by a dog, and consequently £30, the price of a replacemnt was knocked off. I was planning to get the same model as a replacement, but was...

I might be able to upgrade my speakers soon...at last. System at the moment is CDX,102,napsc,hi-cap,180. My Intros have done well but are a very obvious weak link. I love the sound of SBLs, but am wondering what other speakers are worth a demo. The...
