I've been using a sKale on my Aro for a couple of years now initially with a 17D3 and lately with a Proteus on the sharp end. The results have been a little inconsistent with the cartridge seeming very sensitive to minor adjustment on the tracking...

Just having a home demo of the focal sopra '2s, from the start they sound sublime, anyone else had a chance to demo yet? Does anyone know the break in period required?

just purchased a s/h powerline to add to my Uniti 2. Hopefully it will be here by the end of the week. Is there a difference in Powerlines? I noticed the pic of the one I bought has a different looking plug than the one pictured on Naim's website but...

Looking for opinions here.   My current setup: Squeezebox Touch + XPS/nDAC + Supernait 1 / HicapDR + Spendor+REL speakers   I enjoy my system, no complains. But with the new products that Naim have introduced recently, I feel that perhaps I...

Finally got my first piece of Naim gear this week in the shape of UQ2/NAP 100 and am really pleased with it so far.   Just a very quick question - for the first couple of days I left the unit 'on standby' the whole time where the display/clock is...
