    Nice set up and room, Bigbird!
    Linn and Naim are going well together.

    Thanks buddy although the system has changed a bit now. I offloaded the naim setup and went for the top spec Croft pre and monoblocks and a Whest phono stage . Completely wipes the floor with the naim rig now, Very happy indeed

    Thanks man. It really was a snap decision but an offer i couldnt refuse came up so i flogged my naim rig in 24hrs which allowed me to fund the croft setup. Link here

    Ive also decided to offload the LP12 to fund a new project. Its a funny old game this . I spend all my time and money getting my setup “finished” then as soon as i do i change it

    Thanks Alan, its go big or go home from now on haha. Ive just added some NOS 1956 RCA valves in all the hotspots and its taken another huge leap in performance again. Very happy with it all indeed. Ive just bought a Reed tonearm to go on my next turntable project which i will be putting together over the coming months. Will the madness ever stop

    Thanks . Its santos rosewood, very highly figured so beautiful character . The company was ‘layers of beauty’ . Its masterfully crafted. The mitres are impeccable, the grain perfectly matched , lovely glossy finish, and ive had the calipers on it and it is millimeter perfect dimensionally so all the parts sit square and flush. Id highly recommend them.
