The iPhone might not be the best example… some like the old hifi equipment more, due to different sound signatures. Newer tech brings also a more modern sound.
For me it’s (too) simple math: nds sounds better (for me) than nd555 (3.11) - naim claims nd555 is superior to nd555, so… 
. God, I would love to hear nd555 again - would I also like nds more, don’t think so, but…
Piccolo Zero
Mogami 2549 RCA’s
And picking up a Nait 50 on Sunday
If was more giving a perspective on how long ago it is than how great the sound of the built in iphone speaker was
Slight diversion here @blackbird. I’m discussing the Totem sub and speakers on the Totem FB page and there’s a suggestion to use mass loading with the Forest Signatures. Have you tried that?
Well of course they do, they still have ND555s to shift.
Call me cynical…
You are cynical 
Ns333 has the same streaming board … build in psu… I am convinced it sounds beautiful. But nd555 is not so old tech, that the possibility of being superior is not so small… if 333 is better and I were naim, I would claim it and stop production of the 555 
Not sure I know what it is so cannot help there 
My greatest hifi expense this year
A Yamamoto HS-1a between Korf arm and mono London Decca Maroon. I think I prefer it to the Korf ceramic one for this cartridge but time will tell if it cures me of the urge to up the mono game further.
Just because a design feature is a few years old doesn’t mean it isn’t worth continuing to use it. You can say that about suspended boards used on higher end Naim boxes, just as you can say it about, for example, the use of the Alps Blue volume pot that Naim still use on the Nait 50 more than 50 years after that was designed.
Mass loading, weighting the bottom of the speaker cabinet with sand, lead-shot etc. I’ve never tried it.
I see. Similar to speaker stands then.
A JMLC 1175 horn in polished aluminium. Drawn by someone I used to know and another friend. And made by Schmidt & Iversen Mek Verksted AS in Oslo in 2021.
They made a series of ten pairs in polished, glass blown or painted.
Bought this one, used, today and I must say I’m impressed with the buildquality. A solid little thing! First impressions is rather nice with a little more seperation/lower noisefloor. But more listening will be required to leave a full review.
Ordered yesterday and will hopefully receive tomorrow. Reasonably priced for the type of conductors used. Will use from PhoenixNET to 222. High hopes but could be a disaster although have heard the cable needs time to settle. It’s the Neotech NEET-3008 Ethernet cable.
Some Japanese lofi - you stick your iPhone in the slot on the top and the two wooden channels below passively amplify the sound from the iPhone speakers. Surprisingly effective
I like that !
I was about to say blimey, how on earth have you generated 24.6kW in November. Then I looked in your profile…..
Humminguru is on! Using Humminguru their “The Small Bottle” cleaning fluod with 2 drops I get foam build up on the record. This is normal?
Have you tried the automatic process? First cleaning, then rinsing, then drying.
At the end you should not have anything on the lp. So it isn’t normal if you have done the 3 steps process.
