    simple questions?

    Thanks Laverda, that's confirmed what I was thinking. Anyone know how to wire up a stereo/mono switch?

    simple questions?

    I wonder if some of you could give me a bit of help with my first 'diy' attempt. I am running a highly modified Naim 42 (avondale) and want to do a couple of extra tweaks. 1. the balance control is bypassed and in the place where the pot used to be I want to put a 'stereo/mono' switch.

    Phono to BNC

    I need to connect a non Naim cd player (AAA5) to a Naim 72 I have 3 choices- 1. Get an interconnect made up with Phono at one end and BNC on the other 2. Have Phono sockets fitted to the 72 (already avondale'd so modding is no longer an issue) 3. Get some converter plugs Which is the...

    Songs you remember because of the bass line

    For some really sublime bass John Martyn (DannyThompson), Solid Air A bit more obvious (and a bit silly), but fun Tom Waits, Step Right Up

    Minimalist, instrumenty albums?

    There's some John Martyn to suit almost any mood........... but for now, try One World or Cooltide and listen to the master.....
