There was quite a large price and performance gap between Focal’s Electra Be and Utopia ranges, but not anymore, at the Munich High End show they unveiled Sopra, Italian for ‘above’. Sopra consists of a bookshelf No.1 and the No.2 floorstanding models, both built around the same core design. The cone drivers remain Focal’s W sandwich type but their motors systems (magnets)…

Naim’s display at the High End show in Munich focussed on its NAP power amplifiers, most of which have benefitted from Statement tech trickledown. This comes in the form of the NA009 transistor developed for the range topping S1 mono power amps, which is quite a serious slice of silicon. Naim’s engineers took a year to investigate how to make a better output device and ended…

Whilst evaluating the various high-end cables now available for Naim users, we were prompted to re-visit by far the most cost effective option we have for upgrading a Naim system. The Vertere D-Fi for Naim cable range has many of the sonic benefits of the high-end Vertere cables but start at only £150.
5 Pin Din to 5 Pin Din interconnect cable…

The Leica M rangefinder camera system and Naim amplifiers - both exceptional products in their fields that have achieved iconic status and developed a cult following. In fact, it would appear that Leica owners exhibit the same sort of religious fervour that we Naim owners have for our HiFi systems.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ivor at Leica specialist Red…

As previously reported, we were very pleasantly surprised when Chord last visited and slipped some of these under the speakers in our demo room. The upgrade over the Naim Chips was not subtle. Having now tried some demo sets both here and also out in clients' systems, I'm delighted to report that their benefit seems to be universal. Introducing Silent Mounts under the…

Has the world ever witnessed a more beautiful Din plug than the one that graces the end of the new Super Lumina interconnect cable? This is a brilliant evolution of the original Hi Line decoupled plug that actually feels like it will last a lifetime.

A new range of cables from Naim does not happen everyday - their NAC A5 speaker cable has been in production for over 25 years - so you can rest assured that Super Lumina is a true game changer and has honestly been worth the wait.
We have evaluated the cables in depth, and are delighted to report that your patience has been amply rewarded. We are staggered at…

Britain has been quietly making the best Hi Fi in the world for decades, but has generally left the 'Super' High End to foreign brands. Then all of sudden we see a genuine assault on the 'State of the Art' from some of our best loved manufacturers - well done chaps, let's take the fight to 'em!!

We've just spent an enlightening day with Matt from Chord, who kindly pitched up with a bag full of the new Sarum Super Aray cables...

There's a great piece over on the-ear.net about the day Roy Gandy turned up at Jason Kennedy's with the fabled Naiad turntable tucked under his arm...
As big fans of both the RP8 and RP10, I was keen to hear Jason's reaction to the ultimate expression of Roy's very single minded approach to turntable design. You can read what he heard, but off the record he was pretty…

Last month I went over to Salisbury for the launch of the NAC-N 272, Naim’s latest preamplifier/streamer. While at the factory Naim showed myself and some other journalists the production area for the Statement NAC S1 preamplifier and NAP S1 power amplifiers, Naim’s most ambitious electronics to date.
This is a jig for holding main and sub assemblies during production.…
