Congratulations to Bentley and Naim on their inaugural victory in the Blancpain Endurance Series at Silverstone. I was delighted to be able to share this proud moment as the Bentley team won their first race on home soil for 84 years. The thrill was magnified by the exhaust note of the Continental GT3 which makes a very convincing impression of a Spitfire coming down the home straight. Just like Naim, Bentley obviously believe in providing only the very best in aural delight.…

Yesterday I experienced the best analogue set up I have ever heard - bar none. The new Vertere turntables are just extraordinary and having smashed through the glass ceiling of analogue performance 30 years ago with the Xerxes, Touraj  has taken it to a whole new level again with the RG1 & SG1 Touraj's  passion for his designs is infectious. Here he demonstrates the…

Touraj's new Tri Point Articulated bearing is yet another milestone in analogue design. What might appear to be a uni pivot is in fact anything but, avoiding the inevitable bearing chatter and preserving as much of the signal information as possible. On demonstration imminently.…

We've fallen for a pair of true European beauties with a beautiful singing voice..No not Carla Bruni and her sister but the Aedle VK-1's.

Matt from Chord was with us today, running us through their new ethernet cables. Compared to a standard patch lead the entry C Stream was a revelation, and the Indigo and Sarum Tuned Aray were just in a totally different league. If you are running a Naim streamer you have got to come and hear these cables, you will never know what your Streamer is capable of until…

Just like the Alvo Aalto Stool 60 upon which it is sat, the Neat Petite is a triumph of modernist, pared back design and truly deserves it's iconic status. In this instance less is most definitely more and this clever two way communicates the musical message like few others.

 The latest SX version is the ultimate iteration…

Neil B had this to say about his recent cable evaluation:-

"Then to the specific listening to the system with the Vertere in place. Well, to my ears the difference was marked. I found the detail of the component parts of tracks, specific instruments and minor ancillary parts to be astonishingly clear, yet also integrated overall into the music in a beguiling fashion. It reminded me of my impression when first getting the 500, with the same verve and viscerality characteristics, and…

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, an event horizon is a boundary in space-time beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer.

In layman's terms, it is defined as "the point of no return" i.e. the point at which the gravitational pull becomes so great as to make escape impossible

Listening to the NAC 552 for the first…

Spotted this by the design critic Stephen Bayley in the press recently which seems rather fitting:-

Good Design Transcends the Throwaway Age

"The argument for good design is that it lasts for ever so needs no repairs. Artistically, it transcends fickle taste. Functionally, it endures. Economically, it keeps people employed. Socially, it creates respectful hierarchies and responsible supply chains. Or put it this way: no one has ever thrown…

This is a superb film interviewing three legendary guitar men, well worth putting in your Christmas stocking.
