An Exakting Review

(I was stuck on a broken down train with my iPad but no WiFi so thought I'd pass the time writing this - any typos blame Apple!)

Many years ago, before my Hi-Fi preferences took on a decidedly green hue, my wife and I had the dubious please of auditioning the Linn Karik/Numerik CD player. Sadly it was…

Bristol Sound & Vision 2015

Bristol, so much to answer for. Not Morrisey’s exact line of course but he clearly wasn’t in the audio industry, if he were he’d know that this city is the only place to be for hi-fi enthusiasts on the third weekend of February.

Derek Gilligan of Kudos fame has completely revised his Titan range topper, which looked stunning in the (fabulous) colour scheme of the…

A Dedicated Listening Room - Part 3

This 3rd and final update concludes my brief series describing the design and construction on my new listening room. It's been quite an lengthy journey, mainly due to my decision to undertake most of the construction work myself at weekends and over my summer break, but the final result is breathtaking.

The goal from the outset was to create a…

Naim NAC A5 Silver Anniversary

No, not some daft limited edition version of  our inflexible old friend in precious metals, but a simple happy 25th birthday to NAC A5 loudspeaker cable.

Launched in 1989, this stubborn old mule has been doing a honest job in the majority of Naim systems ever since.

As Martin Colloms so succinctly put in in his Hi Fi Critic Review of the NAP…

Naim mu-so review

As Tom Tom Club members will appreciate mu-so is not A N other Naim product, it doesn’t follow the purist, separates in black boxes path that has been the norm since the seventies. Mu-so is a whole other box of tricks, a box of many tricks in fact, most of which hadn’t even been dreamt of in Julian Vereker’s day.

The Naim mu-so is a wireless music system, a…

Naim mu-so in action

The first samples of mu-so, Naim’s wireless audio system, have been making a whistle stop tour of reviewer’s homes and last week I had my 15 minutes (well two days, but that’s still quick). It’s a lovely bit of kit in the flesh, very solid at 13 kilos and beautifully finished with the aluminium over MDF wrap and solid ally heat sinking. I was concerned about the acrylic base…

Naim Fraim Review in Hi Fi Critic

“Every seemingly simple part is designed, dimensioned and fashioned for the purpose of vibration control and energy dissipation, and so far everything I have placed on these stands has sounded significantly better (especially Naim Gear)

Great to see a review finally of this essential product in the always excellent Hi Fi Critic magazine, You can read the full…

A Dedicated Listening Room - Part 2

It's been a little over 3 months since I posted on my project to create a new dedicated listening room, so I thought I should provide a further update on progress.

With the block-work complete to form the new room I turned my attention to the ceiling which needed replacement as I wanted to provide a degree of acoustic isolation from the rest of the house. The first step was to bring down the old ceiling which to say the least was a messy job.…

Jason Kennedy Reviews the full Naim 500 Series

I am delighted to have been blogging at the Tom Tom Club for some time now, not least because it means that I get to play with superb kit that is usually reserved for the inner circle of Naim devotees in the reviewing fraternity. James got me in at the deep end with full 500 series hardware, an experience that left me feeling very sorry when it had to go back as you…
