Greetings from Swindon

[Steve Toy]

I'm a bit late but good to see you here Mick.

No commies or pinkos seem to be around and no bloody recommending the bodging up of Naim kit which is good.

Regarding the first point I think this is more of a Telegraph readers' forum. PFM is more for the Guardian types. Have a look at our Boris Johnson thread in the Abstract Chat section.

Regarding the second, I've come to realise that if you like the Naim way of reproducing recorded music (and I do but there are alternatives that meet my own requirements) then the only way to achieve it is to buy something unadulterated. Upgrading basically then gives you more of the same.

I'd like you to accept that whilst modified Naim is no longer working as it was originally designed and as such sounds different, it is good in its own and different right. There really is no better or worse, just different and to suit your own tastes.

That is what this forum is basically about.

It would be nice to see your pics in our Gallery and perhaps for you to add something to our What is the Art of Sound? thread.

Good to see you here Mick.

Mick is partly responsible for both the front and back end of my system. Conversations with Mick in the other place has lead to me ditching my NAS Spacedeck and buying a 301and a 401. He also put me on the road to self destruct by getting me interested in Tannoy loudspeakers, I now have two wardrobes with 15" dc drivers in the corners of my listening room....

Thanks for the help and advice Mick.
