Route just announced for the UK stages. It is going to go past my office window and all over roads I cycle most of the year. Made up! (As they say around here) Bruce

Global poverty will end soon if only the 100 wealthiest people hand over 25% of their wealth. Is that too much to ask? Or should we ask the next 900 to contribute as well reducing the overall average donation to say 10%. Let’s just politely ignore the potential for corruption down the line as leaders of some of the recipient countries syphon off their “administrative” costs etc etc. My first question is – “which three members of the Naim Forum are in this 100 rich list ?” Cheers Don

I know a number of you have macs out there. I have just bought one and while many things are very fine some seem very clumsy! I assume that is me.Any good guides out there I might consider getting? The question with the help button is asking the right...

Mine starts with a glass at around 6:45, Channel 4 news then music until 9:00 when a bit of Italy Unpacked reminds me where I lived for a while so that I can escape and lust after the dolce vita.   Yours? G

I follow four forums that have both Hifi and Music rooms. In three out of the four there are many more postings about hifi than the music. I admit that to truly get emotionally involved in the music it takes both great gear and great music. But at the...

I have been following several threads through out the last few years and  I have the feeling that the buying power has shified  towards a younger audience considering the  number of new hardware releases from  Naim which seems...

For anyone thinking of giving up the NL I don't think there will be a better excuse than this. I get a ticket for the Wed. and Sat. draw but no way doing both at £ 2 a ticket and do not want to play on just one of the days in case the numbers come up on the other ! As we pay for so many things monthly it works out at £ 17.30 a month, too much for me.

Ok chaps, we have started the bike pics, and moved onto the car nostalgia. Next item then is gadgets. We all know that men are suckers for a good (or bad) gadget. What gadgets have you bought in the past , good, bad or indifferent. Why did...

For Mark and Doug from Naim / Noel at Cloney / Wesley at audiospace i note there were photos being taken at the event. Any chance of having them posted on the forum? What was your feedback form the event? Was it a success from your...

I was amused to watch the goings on at Blandings Castle last evening I say Emsworth, you do scrub up well, who’s the fellow with the hat.

Hoping that someone can help with this. Background : I have a conventional gas boiler for CH & HW. Last year I noticed that it seemed to be on for longer cycles than it was off ( much longer ). I could reduce this cycle by turning the boiler stat down to the lowest setting possible, but the Radiators do not get that hot which maybe correct for the stat setting I made. Last month we had a registered gas fitter installing a new cooker. I mentioned this Boiler issue to the fitter and his...

I'm finally at the end of my tether with my pos HP wireless printer. My wife needs to print at home some docs for her major American IT company, as they've no printing or scanning facility. Incredibly Bad Management? Every time I try to use this HP...

May have a few days to take a break in the Ostende/Brugge area in March and fancied taking my bike with me. Loved cycling in Holland last year with the numbered routes and brilliant road design. How good is this are for the same sort of...

They're going into administration, so it seems. I think few will be surprised, and I doubt I'll miss them. Tony

Using various attempts to set up my server HP proliant 2 x 2Tb drives to work with iTunes and iMac, has resulted in a bit of a mess. Initially we just attempted to move iTunes to the server location, download failed part way through. Another...

What's the best topic/thread that you can recall reading on the forum in the last year or two? Why do you think it's the best? Now, that should get you thinking! 

Just been reading in today's paper that Amazon are starting a new service. When you buy a CD from them, they will automatically keep a digital copy in cloud storgae for you against your registered account details.

What's the best topic/thread that you can recall reading on the forum in the last year or two? Why do you rate it as the best? Is there a close runner-up? Now, that should get you thinking!

Just seen on Facebook that Naim have posted an article about new hifi show in Vegas and the launch of a new product. Not another new item, I hear you say ! Any ideas what it might be ?

Is anyone else doing "Dry Month" i.e. no alcohol in January ? I have not had any since 1st Jan. and now the first weekend is over think I can do it. Not giving up completely but hoping to make some permanent changes to cut down after this month.
