The Dearth of Naim

Ah you got me there, but I do think you are not being very polite or respectful towards Richard in your post.

I would have thought with a military background that you wouldn’t be questioning your leaders decisions.

He’s a much more patient man than I would be I must say.

Anyway enjoy your new Naim free existence and thanks for letting us all know.

EDIT I see things have moved on whilst I was posting.

My intention was not get you, sorry you feel that way.

Always question the officers, particularly when they have a map in hand.

In the modern military, legitimate challenge is positively encouraged.

I can only conclude that you don’t have a military background!

Don’t worry, as FR mentioned, it won’t last 24 hours, which should keep you happy.

Indeed I don’t but I have watched Kelly’s heroes quite a few times if that counts for anything.

No, in fairness, I enjoy an “I sold a power chord” thread as much as the next man so there would be little happiness in it for me if the thread were pulled.

That reminds me of the “barren featureless wasteland” sketch in Blackadder 4 :joy:

Power cord, to be precise and most pleased that you are happy.

And, thank you for your comment.

Out of the four series, I found No. 4 to be the best

I know that there’s a bit of thread drift here regarding war films, but I think the very first Carry On film, “Carry on Sergeant” was a good example of the relationship towards authority.

To quote the Monthly Film Bulletin, who called it "a traditionally English mixture of old farcical situations, well-worn jokes, and comic postcard characters. Charles Hawtrey, as a weedy incompetent, and Kenneth Williams, as a condescending intellectual, provide some genuine laughs. The rest of the humour is either overdone or half-baked’.

To be honest though, I do enjoy the Carry On films, particularly as they got a bit more slapstick. It may be humour of the time, but still produces a giggle.

I like that.

But I’m not going anywhere.

If you don’t say the same sentence as Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam « Since the world began, never has a biped needed to have its head emptied so much.« , the thread may last longer.
( google translate, not sure it was the original movie sentence).

Do not despair - if you search hard enough you would surely get to find another odd Naim cable or fuse somewhere, call it “Naim equipment” and make an attempt for another dramatic thread here to tell us how awful Naim are to others. And about Linn, surely.

Thank you for your comment.

As mentioned on a number of threads, I have never bad mouthed Naim equipment, as I did own a lot for many years.

I have been critical of the corporate Naim previously, not Salisbury.

There are reasons for moving to Linn, that have been amply posted before, which can be found by searching for them and, I’ll leave it to you to find it.

Definitely do not have any other bits of Naim in any of my boxes, but presently selling off a lot of non-Naim kit on eBay that has become superfluous after having a good sort out. It’s amazing how much kit you acquire over the years and just put to one side.

Not sure that’s really suitable @frenchrooster, if I didn’t know better, I may think that you are trying to taunt me. You tease.

But it is a good film and my favourite comment is, "I’m in artillery, play anything, just play it loud, OK?

I don’t own any Linn gear and as such have no inclination or indeed necessity to be critical of their Corporate shortcomings.
