That would have been my pick too back in my teenage years.
Ride the lightning was the first proper album I got off a mate at school on battered vinyl when we weee about 13 years old… Absolutely loved it; trapped under ice at chest crushing volume - nothing better on a Naim system…
Did also recently buy a remastered copy of the first Black Sabbath album and the pressing and sound quality is truly amazing, Amazon get it very right indeed sometimes…
One of my faves - Reign in Blood; a little too much for this forum?!?

I’m just trying the BNC on my NDX2, seems to sound rather good all round. Where have you and @Polarbear tried them in your systems? My dealer has one on their router and said it improved all the streaming in their showroom. I see Chord suggest working from the source and note that if the source is streaming, then the switch is part of that chain and they recommend one on the EE8.

Not at all. Slayer are a great band although always leave me wanting a bit more live. I did see several
Of their shows when they played RIB in full. Metal is my first music love and still forms a big part of my listening. I am on a Black Metal binge at the moment. Metallica will always be my favourite band having been seeing them live since ‘95 when I was 16 and now having almost 100 shows under my belt. Its a lifestyle at this point

Sorry, I got mixed up with the cross referencing. Anyway, the linked thread was like handbags at dawn….

I have one on the phono and one on a spare Din on the back of the 552. It takes a bit of trial and error to get the best result.

I really must stop popping over to Peters for a chat.
I have come away with a couple more cables to play with

The forbidden cables?
Forbidden?
These look like DIN-XLRs and are signal only so certainly not forbidden on here.

They are Chord Music Din-XLRs to replace the Vertere ones I had, they are not forbidden!

I use the same cables between my S1 to 500 head unit Polarbear. So very good! Enjoy!

And it’s true Gazza, couldn’t sleep well last night: hot and thunderstorms. I was asking myself if I should switch off or not all my system. The thunderstorm was not so near….

Always difficult to know which direction thunderstorms are headed. My general rule is if I can hear thunder I switch my entire system off and unplug it. If thunderstorms are predicted in my area at night or when I am away I too shut down my system in advance.
