    Would a rug make any difference to sound quality?

    +1 Invest into some bespoke art acoustic panels. With nice pictures on them these panels won't spoile your large room, and also will help to control sound reflections.

    Standmounters for Naim UnitiLite...

    Have you ever considered little Guru Junior’s? If you haven’t , I strongly suggest you had a try. You may well be very surprised with what you see and what you hear. Heard them at Bristol show with Naim Unitilite and was very pleased with the sound. To me it cuts above a very good Kef LS50’s.

    SACD vs DVD Audio

    You can burn your own DVD audio CDs. It can be filled with hours of hi-res music. In some cases it may be very handy.

    Speaker upgrade choices B&W 685 or similar for small man cave ?

    +1 Great old speakers. When I went to demo my Unityqute at local dealer, I thought Naim will be paired with its traditional partners like Petite, Spenders, Herberth speakers and that I will have to spent another £1000 or so for one of them. But No. There were my old 685’s. I was...

    Better mastered music could be on the way!

    I think WHF forum found its own quality controller. Well done Steve. If only your findings could be made more public and companies involved actually took any notice.

    Dire Straits SACDs

    Few months ago I took a plunge , I mean a real plunge and ordered two shm-sacds Queen Innuendo, and another tubular bells ( sold on e-bay the next day). If you are in UK you will be charged additional £ 15 by customs. So I ended up paying £138. I know, I know... I kept Innuendo album ( long...

    Should I upgrade my Blu-Ray Player to match new TV ?

    I totally agree with f1only. Gadget show is OK in other staff, but they would be the very last resort at the very bottom of the list to me in helping to choose.TV, blue ray, or Hi-fi system. Factory default settings be it in TV or Blue ray does not mean best results. Therefore you have to try...

    Should I upgrade my Blu-Ray Player to match new TV ?

    Following my experience with 3 different blue ray players (linked up to the same TV)I have to say that there is a difference between them. And differences start to show up if you watch very colour rich fast moving picture. For instance my previous Sony BDP S580 was not able to handle it at all...

    One box system options?

    What about Naim Unity, Cyrus? You have to include these into your demo list for sure. I have the same size room as yours and UnityQute does a very good job. Very pleased. Although, at first, I was concerned about 30 watts amp, but once I demoed it in the shop at 50 % volume I realised that I...

    Is a UnitiQute (or UnitiLite) a worthy replacement?

    I don't see the reason why it wouldn't. Use one of two Sony's digital outputs and let the Qute take over from there. I think, there is astrong possibility that with the time you will move towards streaming anyway and find playing CD's less and less.

    Naim Unitilite audition....

    Great choice!!! How you would compare Lite with SU?

    Is a UnitiQute (or UnitiLite) a worthy replacement?

    Monstermoo If you still listening to CDs than Unitilite would be my choice. Although I don’t think that CD section will be it’s strongest part. However I am sure you will be impressed with Naim’s streaming and amplification. Lite should sound as good as Qute and depending on your room size...

    How do you compare Naim UnitiQute v Unity 2 v SU v your current set up?

    I do agree with you on that. Once it starts playing, especialy Flac or Hi-res files as you rightly pointed out, small issues become even smaller or non existant. How do you find your CM 1's with Qute? Dealer strongly suggested me them. I like quality cabinet of them.
