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
Before I delve into this question, I know that a lot of the answers will include comments such as 'go and listen and see', but that is not always possible so.....Currently I have the following Naim settup:CD 3.5/FlatCap/102/HiCap/Napsc/180/SBL'sAnd I...

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...
hi folks:i know most people must be bored to tits with discussions on equipment supports. i am starting a new thread just to torture you all some more. no seriously, i just thought that a new thread would be easier to ignore if you have had it up to...
Twas not long ago when we listened to a CD and reached quickly for the off button and reverted to our turntable. History has passed and the CD has come of age but what of digital amplification?I am almost complete in evaluating CD players and have...

At the recent Dublin hi-fi show organised by Cloney Audio, Lars Christiansen of Nordost performed a little trick with the aid of a fluid called ECO, made by Nordost. This product is designed to remove static electricity.Spray a small quantity on the...
Several days ago I asked Omer what does he think about the 180 vs 140. He said that every Naim amp has its own character - so a 180 is not just more powerful than a 140 - and the question is if a person likes the difference or not.I recalled his words...
Audiotech !!!Remember Audiotech of yore? Well this Italian company was taken over and moved to Scotland.I've been looking for a fully welded no-nonsense table that is similar to my Sound Org rack, and am now successful.They're made of stress-welded...
