    Tone!

    Have you got yourself a record deck yet? It's just with all this DBT stuff, it's beginning to sound like the needle's stuck old boy;)

    FB1s driven by a NAP 250 did neither any favours.

    merlin,
    you jolly japester you ;). have you decided on this months kit selection yet? i'd suggest some bose gear would suit you down to the ground. you could always connect up those skips masquerading as subs and you'd maybe double the bose's performance.
    cheers

    Puzzled

    If the 250 is the pinnacle of Naim amplification then why do people waste their time with 135s and 500s ?

    Paul,

    I don't think you can ever have enough Lego.

    Surely not another thread digressing into another Naimaslug debate??

    Ref the Kabers. I ran mine with a Nait 5 for a year. Massive volumes weren't on the cards and the control wasn't amazing, but it still did the job, so I can't picture a 180 having any problems.

    Hello all.
    I am really grateful for your replies and have taken them all on board. I also posted my request to the Naim and PinkFish lists.
    The guys on Pink Fish suggested that as my room was sonically awful I should perhaps look at some Shahinian Arcs. The Arcs, apart form sounding wonderful, (and even more wonderful with Naim gear) are extremely forgiving of less-than-optimum listening spaces and positions (and should suit me in my current house and the next).
    Just at that moment a pair of Arcs came up on Tom Tom Audio (oak, 1996 for £1,195) so i have bought them as they seem to be rarely avialable and easy to sell.

    When I get them, I'll let you all know what i think.

    Thanks again.

    MC

    So far about 2 x 10^11 Lego bricks have been made, but funnily enough the nanotech guys seem more concerned with the grey goo problem than the toy manufacturers are with the knobbly multicoloured child's brick problem.

    Give me a break I watched horizen the other night on this,

    Heres the story.

    Some guy makes fantastic advances into nano technology. Horizen gives us all the possibilities, how amazing, how they may turn on us how the world may, nay Will be changed by this fantastic and futuristic technology. This ran for around 40 minutes. The last 10 minutes was the startling discovery that the scientist in question was talking bollocks.

    So ended another shit episode of Horizon.

    Couldn't agree more. That's exactly what I thought. There was a time when Horizon was a halfway decent programme. This was a load of rubbish.
