Does anyone know, which if any cables come with the NAC 112
I’ve never really known much about Satanism but it’s always sounded like fun – lots of outdoor shagging, recreational drugs and sticking pins into waxwork effigies of Tony Blair and other toerags you dislike. Sort of ritualised dogging with a whiff of...

Two nights ago I saw Slumdog Millionaire with some friends. I must say that it is one of the finest films I have ever seen. I was transported to India and the richness of the imagery and the involvement of the excellent plot transcended normal...
Today I had a fishfinger sandwich for lunch which is something I hadn't had for years and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed them when I was a kid.What childish or junk type foods do you still enjoy that perhaps you shouldn't?Anyone like Pot Noodle or...

Wikipedia's "Naim Audio" entry tells that the pronunciation of Naim is "Ny EEM". I always thought that it is "Neym", like "Name".Can some british folk please tell me who's right!
Looks like I'm going on holiday to Benidorm (not where I thought we were going) with my late middle aged parents and sister. I remember the ITV comedy drama 'Benidorm' shown last year and do cringe a bit at the thought of going there. I liked...

I have a new [to me] PC with 2.4 Pentium processor with a brand new XP installed [with service pack 3]. What I want to find is a good sound-card for a pci slot ... With optical toslink out, and/or coaxial through RCA cynch ... [I am not really worried about ASIO drivers due to the complexity, or Lynx sound-cards with breakout connections for AES/EBU standard output, which would probably be too costly for what I want at this stage ...]. I have hunted, and it seems Sound Blaster have such...
