Hi Harry. After following your post over time I have always believed that we are Fellow Travelers so to speak, and much as I would love to be able to take up your offer I'm afraid that time is of the essence for me, Best explained I think by this...

As I have had other somewhat more important things going on in my life I have not followed this thread , But in my present circumstances I now feel that I can say something that I have always held back. I have always tried, even going back as far as the old Naim Forum to remain polite to all...

Dec I'm not sure as I would go as far as "potential negligence" as this implies a sort of wanton carelessness and I don't think that ,that is the case, the only thing I can think of is that my frequent question of is it Cancer along with my explanation to him that my cousin had died from the...

Unfortunately is not just people in deprived areas, this kind of thing is happening in areas I was told from the people that I have had contact/ spoken with, I don't know what the answer is it's certainly not as Doctorf states poor educated people as I nether consider Brighton to be deprived or...

Cav. I intended to keep it simple and as impersonal as possible as time is sort of the essence , but that now seems not a option, but to put it quite simply if you have any doubt about what I have stated, then Google and other sources are as always your friend, and not just the first entries...

Cav, The idea was to keep this impersonal, and as a "warning" to others who may well end up in similar situations, it is not under any circumstances Foi or say so, unfortunately it is all factual, I can assure you of that. oldie

Returning time and time again just to hear the same given response is not the answer, we do tend to put the Medical Profession on the top of a very tall pedestal, not in any account to be questioned ,and that is were we go so wrong Doctors are nor infallible they make mistakes it's the...

I have spent a long time deliberating whether or not to write this, but recent items on the BBC NEWS ,have convinced me that I should. Soooooooooo. The UK has one of the lowest rates of detection and the diagnosis of Cancer by Doctors in Europe, possible in the Western World ,why this is nobody...

OLDIE. In my, RKR's and rather a few other Naim owners (though I'm not really in that segment now), dedicated mains became recommendable SPECIFICALLY because Naim kit benefitted from it. Probably an awful lot of other kit too, though the jury's out with valved stuff, though it's certainly no...

Hi Something no has asked on here yet, but what is your kit ? The reason I ask is I have a dedicated radial as per NAIM used to advise with a 30 amp cartridge fuse that has been in place for many years ( it was checked out by RKR and given the OK when he visited Brighton years ago ) last year...

Ron Smith, His aerials are allegedly the bee's knee's, had one myself years ago and it certainly pulled in the signals like no other.I'm not sure if they are still there, but there used to be three of them on top of the roof at a certain well known Salisbury Amp and Tuner manufacture. Ron...

Back in the 70's whilst stopping with friends over the Easter holiday period in their flat in York Street ( just off Marylebone road ) London Just round the corner the Burglar Alarm went of in a expensive Leather garment shop, after several hours we decided to go and have a look only to find a...

Don't buy alum pads from Naim or their Dealers. The following tip was in a old thread many years ago, unfortunately I just can not remember who to attribute it to, but the Naim Alum pads are the same thickness as the alum used to make ( the finished wall thickness in ) drink cans so chose your...

Not sure if cartridges can minimise surface noise but a good profile ( more expensive ) is supposed to reach further into the groove so that "might" help,by passing any damage caused by a cheaper cartridge that's profile only reads the top of the grooves, as regards to tone arms more years ago...

You are of course correct David, that's why in their natural habitat pigeons are the Peregrines natural prey, it's very interesting to see a pigeon in it's own Cliff or Quarry face habitat avoiding peregrines, the pigeons fly very close to the cliff face twisting as they go making it difficult...
