    At least with mine, you don't have to go far for a beer afterwards.:MILD:

    I must say I do like the look of these "chairs" that keep cropping up!

    How about sound modulated moving head rests for those chairs so that Naimees can nod away all night without getting that muscle soreness the following day.

    Or we could make Water filled bladder equipment supports instead of air filled ones. No pump needed, just stick it under the tap! We could call them Titanic Sinks.

    I hate to say it but this was meant to be kind of serious, with the hope that between us we may just come up with a great idea. Still like those chairs though!

    Hey, Cookie. You sure look good in a bikini. And those shoes. They make your feet seem real dainty.

    the music industry to balance it's paranoia and greed with the real world and decide on a real next generation digital format that has backwards compatibility with cd, can do 192/24 or better audio uncompressed on 16+ channels, allow copies for in car and portable use without risking bankrupcy through internet distribution. it should also be able to handle hdtv and have a standard secure digital output at full bit rate for both audio and video. of course i'd also like naim to make the kit able to play this new stuff in their own inimitable way too.
    cheers

    I'll bet you could buy a 2nd hand Neve filter for very low money from a pro-sound dealer.

    They're audiophile grade enough to have been used in most recording studios for donkey's years!
    Alternatively, there's always the Klark Technik pair of (dare I say it ;) ) graphic equalisers... Most reasonable nowadays and used in the same studios as the Neve.

    Cookie,

    For a site aimed at showcasing and discussing the next big thing, I could have sworn the top of the page has those futuristic words "order VHS":confused:

    I'll check it out.

    Yes but a full blown graphics equaliser seems like overkill. On the basis that less is generally more where hifi is concerned, I would like an equaliser with just one or two channels which could be centred anywhere from say 30 - 100 Hz. If it could do this with no phase distortion or temporal smearing, so much the better.

    Hmmm! Possibly! But one with nice single-ended RCA phono ins and outs. And one that looks like hifi :)
