I have found peace and now that I have sold all my Naim gear I do not expect to come back here. (Richard you can delete my profile). I will truly miss this community , and I thank you all for the great advices given al those years. Thanks again. Kind...
Rosetta has landed on a speeding comet. Amazing feat; this stuff really gets me excited. The urge to explore and marvel at the universe around us is still strong. I loved Cassini-Huygens dropping a probe into the clouds of Titan, and Curiosity...
This thread was started to allow interested parties to continue discussing the effect f frequency extremes and their effect upon auditory perception which was incidental to a post on the relative merits of PMC and Kudos loudspeakers. I've copied and...
I mean really..?!?!? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30037729 How come they get away with this all the time?
Just bought myself a new iPhone 6+, and given my 3GS to SWMBO. Hopefully that will stop her moaning about how difficult to use her Sony Experia (android) is. (no sympathy from me, because she chose it herself!) All OK, but I want to...
Yesterday, i attended a business Lunch at The Merchants Tavern in Shoreditch As well as some fantastic food, i was surprised to see an Vinyl theme. the private dining room had a Luxman TT and a 1970's Marantz amp. Background music was played...
Anyone else glued to the telly (BBC News channel for me) absolutely shaking with excitement over the Rosetta mission and the little Philae probe, which is, as I write this, only minutes away from touching down on the surface of a comet? On a...
When I tried tonight to connect to the Naim site using Firefox, I got a message saying the naim site was insecure. I agreed to a Firefox "exception" to be able to access the naim site. Anybody else have this problem ?

Having resisted for so long I have taken the plunge and bought a Mobile Phone. So the next task is to fill it with useful Apps. Which Apps does the panel believe will prove most useful to me on my journey into the 21st century? SteveT
Quite bizarre... http://www.independent.co.uk/n...e-fears-9849602.html This implies a goup of men, women, paedophiles would be OK. Or if someone was truly desperate to see the show they could simply nip out and kidnap a small child to...
Quite good this, on beeb 4. Worth catching up with on iPlayer if you're not already watching
Anybody else think there is something slightly "fishy" about the leadership of the Scottish National Party. Ok, I admit I am probably the last to see the funny side of this, but it did make me gently smile. Certainly more up-market than...
Listening today to Cameron's childish tirade against the EU's invoice for £1.7bn, left me wondering if we actually have any Statesmen (or women) in British politics. I couldn't think of a single one. Any recommendations ?
Should this be 'news'? John.
Audiophile grooming . Nasty. John.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29861563 As an Aussie living in Canada, I am embarrassed by the populist, non-scientific, irrational policies of both the goverments (and not fo the first time).
I've heard of some daft railfares and significsnt variations but.............. I set out the other day to walk the section of the Kennet & Avon Canal between Pewsey and Bradford on Avon. We normally take two cars and park them, one at either end of the walk. However, I thought it might be easier to park at (say) Pewsey, take the train to Bradford on Avon and then walk back, or vice-versa. Its about 30km so an early start was required, no later than 09:00 from Bradford. A quick Google...
For those of you who may have enjoyed his work, Harry Pearson, founder and former editor of the Absolute Sound passed away peacefully yesterday at the age of 77.
We don't buy sweets at my household, except for Halloween. Fifteen to 20 years ago, we'd have been busy all evening handing out candy to the little trick-or-treaters. Now all the kids are off to college and it's a neighborhood of empty...
Watched this on TV after my wife saw the first in the series. Rarity for me to watch a TV prog; suspect the first of the year! Really enjoyed it. Perry very engaging, articulate and intelligent. The last portrait he created was both an...

Any Mac users that have upgraded care to offer an opinion?
I have recently purchased a Yamaha pacifica 112V electric guitar with the aim of learning to play and I'm loving it! On the advice of some guitar forums I have also started with the Rocksmith game which is just the best fun in years because I...
