    Richard Dane Naim Forum Moderator - Not a Good Experience

    Agree. Perhaps best to go through official Naim channels. After all, it's Naim's reputation that's on the line.

    Sony 40W 4500 Not Happy at all with WHAT HIFI Magazine!

    Not sure why you dug up a 17-year old thread to comment. You can start a new thread instead.

    General Hi-Fi post - social media

    What would the value of the Casio be after 10 years Vs the Rolex? This is the bit that gets overlooked and is probably the main difference between us commoners that focus on mere utility of the product and the moneymakers. Rolex watches generally retain or appreciate in value over time, often...

    General Hi-Fi post - social media

    The world often runs on perception. Just this morning, walking through St. Moritz, I passed showrooms like Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and Cartier, and it’s the image and desirability they project that really drives sales. The same applies to much of the perfume industry. The perceived value often...

    Panasonic DMR-UBT1 Bluray makes random motor noises while in standby mode

    It sounds like an HDMI control issue, not a fault. Your LG TV (Simplink) can “wake” the Panasonic recorder (Viera Link) even when both are in standby. That can make the recorder spin up briefly, which is the whirring noise you hear. It didn’t happen with your Samsung TV because different brands...

    $4,520 Kimber RCA Cable compared with Amazon Basics

    As a doctor since 26 years, I don't know of a single doctor who would spend ££££ on cables. The vast majority don't have a lot of disposable income, contrary to beliefs.

    Question Can I come here for advice on setting up Atmos for my soon to be finished basement?

    Yes, best to look at the late of the thread, especially the date of last response. It is not possible for the forum to delete old threads,

    LG 55C5 OLED TV for £655 including cash back instore at Costco

    Why would you watch two TVs at the same time? With 2 cars, both cars usually are different for a specific purpose. One may be a sports car for weekend drive and the other may be a regular commuting car. I have a projector for films and TV for everything else. What is that one TV offers that...

    LG’s monthly payment for a TV

    I can't comment on advice of AV reviewers whose business model is based on increased sale of AV equipment. What's important is individual needs. A good film / TV programme with an engrossing storyline doesn't need the attention to the tiny imperfections in picture quality. If you find yourself...

    LG’s monthly payment for a TV

    Yes, but TVs don't need upgrading each year. I generally keep my TVs for 10-15 years. My living room TV was replaced in 2025 after serving me for 11 years (and served you for a year before that as well). My family room TV is now 10 years old. Never gave any trouble, and I think it'll last...

    LG’s monthly payment for a TV

    It’s the trend of not owning anything and only renting, as companies have realised this guarantees a constant stream of income. It started with music and the death of CDs, then films with streaming replacing Blu-ray / 4K discs, then things like personal contract hire cars — and now TVs are...
