I am very sorry to hear we're being deprived your company at the weekend Andrew because you have been having a difficult time. I tend to pay to get stuff done these days rather than do it myself as i think what's the point in earning money if it can't make my life easier. All the more frustrating wh...

Yes, not quite sure how they expect me to make an intelligent vote on something i know nothing about And vote for people who i know nothing about Surely people in my position shouldn't be making the decision ? At least i hear about politics and politicians in the media and discuss them; so i at leas...

Amplifiers which measure well don't necessarily sound well

I wonder if this applies to cables or not ?

Reading your threads Mark, you trust your ears in the end

So what's more real - the differences we hear or an explanation of them - how can we be so sure they connect coherently ? How could you prove something that's a subjective experience ? Ask a large number of people to do a listening test ? Surely that would be the most accurate way to decide if one c...

I wan't giggling! Honest! I just don't understand. It's the basic problem with being scientist - if you don't understand the rationale, it's fine to admit that. In the absence of numbers, and completely distrusting my brain & ears, numbers (other than £££) are, for me at least, useful... :D Oh ...

Hi Greg I was able to note the OTL amp sounded different, seemingly at the higher frequency's.

excuse the belated post an excellent write up by Steve - i don't have much to add The naim clone boards are not from Avondale but cheap ones off ebay. They are more like the Avondale circuit than the Naim circuit though. They also follow the Avondale choice of coupling/feedback capacitors rather tha...
