    Auditioned Naim 5si today

    On the well matched comment from David@thehifi companyI couldn't agree more. When you have a properly designed amplifier and speaker combination the difference to be heard is unbelievable. i bought my first pair of actives second hand on eBay a few years back one arrived not working but the...

    Best speaker cables around £200-300

    I have had the same experience although with a flat audiophile oxygen free copper cable. The 400 strand generic cable did not make any discernible difference to what my music sounded like. I would get the Maplin stuff and spend the difference on some Velvet Underground and Wire CDs!

    My Demo of AVI ADM 9s and 40s

    Baz, I have had one offer from one of the other auction bidders and one from a friend visiting who is not interested in hifi at all but loves music. Once my wife heard them they were staying.

    My Demo of AVI ADM 9s and 40s

    I bought a pair of original adm9s from eBay last week fairly scratched for a budget price. My main room system was Linn Keilidhs and Linn Classik with a Squeezebox touch acting as main source.
