Padded Cell
The Well-Known Auction Site currently has a pair of 'waterfall glass Victoria' floorstanders listed and the picture does indeed look very much like what it says: a pair of glass floorstanding speakers. It even claims they're good with Naim/Linn, though I bet they all say that. Anyone know anything about these? I have trouble imagining they'll sound good, but stranger things have happened. Mark
Really enjoyed the first episode. Great music from my student days when I visited Germany often too. G
David Teie, a cellist for the National Symphony Orchestra, has studied what sounds cats prefer and composed music just for them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35529284 Our old moggy "Miff" was very aware of music, she would always leave the room when DSOTM started, she would sit up & listen to the heart beats & leave the room before the alarm clocks, but would come back in after they finished. Sadly we no longer have a cat because - now retired -...
We have had a rough few months at home for various reasons so we have decided to have a European break in May. We are obviously not short of options but wondered if anyone had experience of Dubrovnik and environs? Always looked appealing to me, may be warming up a bit by then and looks like the area surrounding could easily fill 4-5 days. We can also go direct from Leeds Bradford which is a significant plus. We hate airports/flying generally; this will be the second time only we have flown...
After suffering a heavy cold last month, my ears had been blocked up for a couple of weeks. It felt like I was going deaf in one ear, with very restricted sound in the other. I went to see the Doc who checked them out. The first question he asked was "Do you wash your hair in the shower ?". He explained that my ear canals were blocked by a mixture of ear wax and dead skin flakes. The detergents in the shampoo & soap had caused the flaky skin and he suggested using ear plugs when...
Just went and picked up the post to find a very nicely done magazine .. The Naim Magazine .. Connection .. plus a $200 off coupon for a Muso .. (wish it was off the QB I have on order) Very informative read .. well done Naim.
In order to drum up some cash he's suspended the sale of his new album in hope that fans sign up to Tidal instead. He goes on to say: All you dudes in San Fran play rap music in your homes but never help the real artists...You'd rather open up one school in Africa like you really helped the country... if you want to help... help me. I'm not sure how much sympathy he's going to get from the Valley. Source: ...
For £1.75M. Maybe Naim should buy it. Great location to be able to demo the whole range.
How significant is the proof that gravitational waves exist? G
Anyone watching/listening to SA v Eng Worth a look ............ it'll all be over in the next 10 mins
Quite funny... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35549427

Having only ever driven manual cars for thirty years, I decided to try an automatic for a change. As well as an automatic gearbox it has an automatic handbrake as well, and an auto hold thingy so that when you stop, even on a hill, it won't roll. You don't even need to remove the handbrake when you start - you just press the accelerator and off you go. All very clever. Reversing is a bit tricky, but I'm sure I'll get used it it - I've only had it for two days. Once I've mastered this I'll...
Interesting that some IPhone 6 users were left with an unusable handset after having them repaired or "serviced" by non apple authorised people. It would be funny if that happened to your beloved Naim gear. Lesson to you all: use an authorised repairer/dealer! http://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/feb/05/error-53-apple-iphone-software-update-handset-worthless-third-party-repair

Hi, I'm using dbpoweramp to rip CDs onto a TS-212P NAS 2X3TB. Depending on where the which metadata provider gives me the track listings, I'm getting different artists in different places when I access the tracks on my NAIM Uniti. If I try to alter the track names directly on the drive, the NAIM doesn't seem to pick them up. Also, some thumbnails aren't showing
SWMBO kept whinging about her Windows laptop being slow etc etc, although she only uses it for emails and surfing 'tinterweb. So, as it was her birthday in January, I decided I would 'treat' her to a new laptop. Took her into PC World, Burton-On-Trent (she had to SEE what she was going to get), and she decided on a 13" MacBook Pro, as it was on special offer and she liked the screen. I thought it was grossly over-specified for her purposes, but said OK, as long as she...

Can anyone identify these objects?
Hi All, I was wondering if any of you have one of these stoves, or know of an owner who are happy with them? (not seen any on system pictures). RAIS stoves (looking at the Rina model) are made in Denmark and seem good quality, but trawling the internet for reviews has ended up pretty fruitless. Most advice on the internet seems to be based around the conundrum of price versus Chinese manufacture, as these stoves start at around £2000 mark plus fitting and flue, it seems internet...

Facebook has a use! Two sites I have found, Big Ole Horns and High End Audio for the Passionates both have hundreds of great photos of gear and speakers. They are true audio porn, and include Naim!
Hallo, Are there domotica users on the Naim forum and what system or software are you using? Any pro or cons about the system you are using? I am Dutch and using the Homewizard and some plugs but i am looking now for Zwave plus. Any users here? I see on the forum about the Smartthings controller a lot of complains. So what do you think is the best controller on this moment?
