My 1st visit here, & for those who are AV only I wanted to point out this black box. It's caused plenty of controversy, but basically the manufacturer claims it de-magnetizes CD & DVD, resulting in improved replay characteristics. I had my doubts & dismissed the device as snake oil for many years, but having heard the effect in a demo' last summer I am a convert. I suggest reading the threads Bedini Clarifier in Hi-Fi Corner for more info. Cheers - John

It's back! After having been back to Naim it appeared to be sorted appart from the occasional loss, lately it's happening quite regular,4 or 5 times a week & twice today.
