Interesting comments .....for the last 25 years I've been unhappy with spikes and used a number of isolating products with great effect. I tried for the previous 15 years to get various spike systems to work, but they never sounded right to me. My current solution for my ML aerius i's are...

contact ruark ...they are usually very helpful

ah ......nowhere near a good tt setup. But its a bit like comparing apples and bananas ! and wondering why they don't taste the same ...

I could tell you assorts of things ....I could tell you about how a little blue light can improve your listening experience. Or how to make copper cables sound nearly like silver, but to be honest its going to be wasted on you. I could explain the regular listening session with groups of...

my humble apologies.....failing eyesight. I don't understand your comments and references regarding this thread. You have not heard my system nor the item in question, nor have you built said diy psu, but still you persist in your view that it can't possibly make a difference. So which...

I built my psu for around £30 ...case less I used an off the shelf 2a reg board from rs with 5-27v range. But I did fit pana fc cap module [30,000uf {30x 1000uf}] to the board. RS Stock No. 494-9072 I also used an over specced torroidal to feed it and later added a filtered iec fused...

juff I don't know what sort of audio experience you have [ to be honest I don't care] but as you grow up you may find that you don't know as much as you think you do. If you can't hear an improvement does not mean there is no improvement, it just means you can't hear it. This is doubly true...

well if your talking about ...no depth to the sound stage flat undynamic presentation ....the same material played via cd in the same system ...sounding fantastic. Then adding the linear so that its superior to cd .....no, no measurable gains what so ever. If you can't trust your ears...

I really would not know, but when you've heard the effect it rather colors your opinion of the units. imo this hobby is about getting everything from the software to the ear without messing with it on route !

sorry just scanned this ...and if I'm not mistaken you have over looked the biggest single improvement, when you said you "can't be bothered with making your own psu" [linear]. I've had several variants of the good old sq.....through to the touch. Everyone made a huge leap in sound quality...

So following a bit of investigation the fault was in fact the first tantalum cap on the input of the first stage after the pot , this was duly replaced on both channels ..... All bubbling and farting noises have been eradicated.

the naim sound is "generated" by the topology of the circuits not the cables ! though changing the cables should affect the sound, but not its character or by a huge amount thats already been determined. The "wall of sound" as it has been described in the past, and I'd liken it with a...

Ok thanks for that info ......Work so far has not eliminated the fault , but sound quality and resolution are streets ahead. Components changed are as the previous thread coredumps nac92 a second life, with the exception of the alps blue being swapped for a TKD 2CP-601, and yes I did forget...

cheers yes my gut feeling too would you swap the tants for say cerafines ?.....having had the thing running through my system should its presentation be warmer and richer than a valve pre [beard ca506] .....my previous experiences with naim gear lead me to expect forward touch bright. I'm...

but having said that about the sickly beast .......left it powered up for 2hrs ....crackle pop and distortion now absent from right channel .....I'm thinking dying cap ...
