I am considering the purchase of a headliner headphone amp and would not like to buy another power supply if I can help it. I will be using the headliner with a Spectral pre-amp. Thanks.Jay

Has anybody sent an old style 01 tuner back to Naim to have it updated to the new style. I have been having some trouble with my 01 in that it often loses the stereo signal (yes I checked out my roof antennae). So I spoke to Naim yesterday and they...

Well, the January CD Sampler did not make it to New York City or to any of the Colonies. Although I see page 17 gives a full page promo - NO CD. This was very surprising seeing that a Linn CD Sampler was attached to the magazine a few months back.I...

Several of the good-sounding systems I've heard recently have been on non-ferrous supports, so I'm planning to try some experiments in this direction myself. I am thinking of putting shelving in a cupboard off the lounge.Has anyone tried mixing...

I'm thinking of getting a Quadraspire stand and noticed that you can get either wood or glass shelves. I'm wondering whether it would be better for my LP12 to sit on a glass shelf or a wooden shelf. Does anyone have experience with this, and if so...
