My first new thread creation, so treat me gently please.
Does anyone use football analogies when trying to explain to non HiFi friends what you have been doing (when on demo) or why we spend so much time (and occasionally money) on our hobby?
In my observation the forum seems focussed on the English (premier) league. I mean we spend a lot of time attending matches between ‘this’ Naim product or ‘that’ Naim product? However I note a few (eg Dunc and others) attend European matches.
In my own case, last year I was lucky enough to grab tickets to two International Semis and then Final between a final four of England (Naim), Scotland (Linn), Canada (EMM Labs) and USA (ATI).
Anyway, the last time I was at such an International final, it was four years ago, England (Naim 500 series) and Germany (T+A). Sorry - I don’t have pics. The trophy result was too expensive for me to take home……….but I guess you might be wondering what was the result……………?
“Some people are on the pitch, they think it’s all over…………”
Anyway, I find it slightly irritating that Naim don’t publish more of the specifications of their excellent equipment. Does anybody here have a view as to why that might be?
The six missing ones, indicated by the ? In the chart for the Naim amp.
Those six, get you into the listening test. After which there is the decision.
In the above case, I had to include the Naim amp on trust, and even though it very heavy and expensive, occupying a slot which might have been filled by one of the other potential competitors.
