Very interested in trying this at the price it is it's worth a punt! It looks very well specified and comprehensive unit and ideal for me as I need to try room correction but can't afford to go the Lygndorf (or all digital) route just yet. Although designed for the pro studio market, I suspect...

Don't use different amps on different channels as you will hear the differences in them. Simply use one for the Bass and one for the Treble and you are good to go.

The 306 is a super little amp and I regret selling mine. However, there isn't a single answer to your post and some of what is below may be construed as speculation by some! Depending on how old they both are and if your "good" amp has never been serviced, then the caps may be on the way out...

Do a search for the seller b_elec. I have used him and he is good to deal with.

Don’t bother with the last type as the parts that make the spring contact termination is a ring that is just pushed on the body. They work loose and don’t give a good connection. Types 1 and 2 are ok though cant see a photo of the split solid so won’t comment. Personal preference gained oner...

This must be the best post ever on here. I hope the OP wasn’t serious! On a different note, living next to a substation won’t necessarily give you a direct connection to the transformer (via the usual fuses inside etc) as I live next to one and my feed doesn’t come direct from the substation...

Having hearing loss myself (drops off from 5.5KHz and is different in both ears for which I wear NHS hearing aids), I get exasperated at these replies about updating equipment to solve the problem. I know everyone is being helpful, but my advice having been in the same situation is to consider...

Thanks for that. Hadn't noticed that box before! Must need my eyesight testing again.

+1 for dBpoweramp. Works fine with no errors for me. There's the odd disc it won't rip though, normally due to too many errors but I can live with that. For extra tagging duties I use MP3tag - don't be fooled by the name it has tagged every file I've thrown at it ok - both ALAC and FLAC and...

Looks like they have used their bog standard (meaning they use them in everything) Samwha SG's for all the decoupling and SIF-SAFCO's for the axials (very hard to get unless you are trade and order loads). Tants look AVX or more likely Kemet but without a close up.... Samwha are available from...

Forget the usual nay sayers on here - give it a go. Don't bother with the NACa5 for now, try it with whatever you have to hand (2 core mains etc) As long as it's up to the job (i.e no bell wire - 1.5 sq mm will do for a test) then see if it's for you. I found the differences subtle but better...

To find out the Tant values and make, why not simply take the top off and have a look? A bit of detective work will then tell you the make from the markings. If you want to retain the Naim sound you need to replace all the caps with like for like. From my experience, changing the make and type...

It's up to the OP to decide wether or not he has the abilities to do this sort of work - none of the rest of us have the right to comment. The advice given has enough warnings as to not to do it if he was not confident. After all, it's remaking a few connections and this is a DIY forum. To put...

Cheers for that Skipper 44. it's improved my knowledge. I think there may have been a little confusion originally as to what cable Skyebridge actually needed. From the replacement manual from the French chap (I presume you have the same one as me), the display itself is directly soldered to...

Should have added this to my last post - sorry having a brain fog day! Now you know where the problem lies and it's probably just a faulty connector and the problem is likely to recur (The pins of that type of connector get dirty along with the spring contact in the socket which is probably why...
