    Speakers for NAIM

    What were you using before Naim? why did you switch to Naim? Did things improve any with the 82 relative to the 102? I started with the 102/180 combo and found it exciting but unrelenting thus fatiguing for me. I haven’t heard nearly has much Naim kit is others here, but reputationally the...

    Still playing with Quad gear after all these years !

    More info here. Looks really nice except he touts the bespoke components including special electrolytic capacitors for the power supply so if something breaks down the road parts for even the PS may be a challenge.

    Any significant differences between low and high output MC carts?

    Sorry to hear this. Did you get an inkling of this at the store? What tracking force are you using? I don’t know the Hana so don’t know what it might be contributing, but it wasn’t what I expected. I was expecting an Exact or AT. [was typing when you posted] But I also wonder about the...

    Getting back into hifi and questions about buying my first turntable- ? digital

    I wish! I’m on the other side of the country. Just know Hawthorne virtually. Unfortunately, Robert passed away in 2021. They have a page called “Dominic’s Delicacies”, so I assume he is there. Maybe Tony or one of the mods could help if you want to recover your old user name? FWIW, in your...

    Getting back into hifi and questions about buying my first turntable- ? digital

    @bec143 Since you are in Seattle, I would just head in to Hawthorne Stereo and talk to them. They have Rega, Technics, Cambridge, etc so pretty much something at every level you might consider. (and was your username becseattle in the past? When tagging you, that popped up.)

    Streamer (or more) with RJ45 socket: budget and/or mid-price recommendations?

    Have used a Bluesound Node for a couple of years, and it is plug and play. Also have a wiim pro plus that I haven’t used yet, but it is also plug and play as I understand it. Wiim pro is surely budget, and not sure where the Node falls. If a build in amp is needed, the Wiim amp seems really...

    Naim
