    Speakers for NAIM

    I have the R700s. I wouldn't have said they're harsh at all. I haven't heard the 180/82 but I was originally running the R700s with a Supernait 2. I don't recall that combination sounding harsh. If anything, getting the bass under control was the problem. The midrange through to treble was...

    End point!

    It only took you 15 years to see the light? :)

    Naim 500DR fuse

    Depending on the viewpoint, it isn't necessarily that bad. I have 4 power supplies - and if anyone wants to poke fun at me for this, feel free. I agree, it's ridiculous, but I've the space for it here. Each power supply is about 25W/hour if kept on. 2 of them are for sources. Any normal sane...

    Naim 500DR fuse

    Are blown fuses a UK mains thing, or a Naim thing? As a reminder, I'm in Australia. I have solar panels, and this year, during the colder months from May up to about September, when the sunlight is at a minimum, I was switching off my HiFi at night, so I could save 1kWH+ of energy each day...

    MacOS cd ripper that works (2023)?

    +1 for dbPoweramp as well, although I'm running it on an old Mac and it's not the current MacOS version.

    PMC Fact 8 vs. Fact 8 Signature

    @Mike Reed - Bit of a diversion here, but today I went to a HiFi show in Melbourne. I heard a speaker called the Duke, made by an Australian company called Hulgich Audio. Here is a link to info on this: https://hulgichaudio.com.au/duke.html It's basically a very small company, you would have no...

    PMC Fact 8 vs. Fact 8 Signature

    The recommended retail price of PMCs is quite expensive here in Australia, but I noticed there often seems to be discounts and specials, like for instance right now: https://www.classaaudio.com.au/search?controller=search&search_query=pmc It makes me think that the real price of PMC is a fair...

    Epic Games Sells Bandcamp Amid Layoffs

    Groan. This looks exactly like what I've seen happen in the Enterprise Applications software space. The independent artists will always be there, but without Bandcamp, it's going to be harder to buy their stuff. There must be a way to make this work.

    Midrange help needed

    You might want to experiment with speaker placement. I had some really gnarly experiences with placement of my speakers depending on the level of amplification I had. When I went from integrated amp to pre/power, I had a total nightmare with the speaker placement getting it to work. If your...

    Epic Games Sells Bandcamp Amid Layoffs

    And also this article gives some analysis: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/5-observations-on-epic-games-sale-of-bandcamp-to-songtradr/ I buy a lot of my music from Bandcamp. I don't stream, I download and then play direct. I tend to think Bandcamp is unique compared to all the other much...

    PMC Twenty5 23 / 23i

    I have a pair of stand-mounts in a secondary system, but I agree with you on this matter. I figure a stand-mount will pretty much have the same footprint as a floor stander, and then if you need to get a dedicated stand for the stand-mount, what is the point? My secondary stand-mounts sit on a...

    best din interconnect for Naim

    @Gruido - I just noticed you posted the same thing on the Naim forum, and no surprise, the advice is stick to Naim cables and the lavender is good. The lavender is alright as a starting point, but it's not that hard to do better. I had a very basic MIT RCA cable which beat it. Other starting...

    NAP 250 with Phoenix + Dragon Newts

    Fascinating, I learnt something! What a great fount of knowledge you are.

    best din interconnect for Naim

    For the time being, I'm very happy with them. Also, I'm probably on the other side of the world from where you are (I'm in Australia). But if you want the Morgana cables, I hope you can get them someday. Somebody is bound to sell one at some point, keep a look out for it. It's a pity Witch Hat...

    Why does my system always sound too good?

    Add half a glass of rum to that and everything being too good won't matter for a while.
