It’s probably not a bad idea. NAS is an acronym for Network Attached Storage—a hard drive accessible over a home network. For years, NAS were shunned by most of us (including me) because they were slow and a pain in the keester. But, like all things digital, over time they’ve gotten easy and fast to […]

I’m interested in buying one of the following:- Accuphase A-35 or Accuphase P-4200. Does anyone out there own or have heard either of these components. I’ve heard good things and of course one is Class A and one Class A/B so there will be merits with one over the other. I listen to mostly classical […]
For the most part, a dedicated subwoofer output on a receiver or integrated exists because of old-school habits. Long ago, at the beginning of the subwoofer era, there were no built-in crossovers. Subs came in two flavors: an unpowered or powered woofer in a box. If the first the user had to supply a power […]
Bought a used one earlier today …. seller states that it’s in good working order …. was one of those ‘impulse’ buys on ebay … spotted the amp in the dying seconds of the ebay auction, placed my bid and won the item. so … not sure if I have done the correct thing, but […]
This piece was originally published in Stereophile in 1998: One of the big industry stories of 1985 was the split, both personal and commercial, between the British Linn and Naim companies. Led by Ivor Tiefenbrun and Julian Vereker (footnote 1) respectively, both companies had started up in the early 1970s. Both men held similar views, […]
This is FYI only. We do not have one for sale. Sorry.
PAUL MCGOWAN … There once was a day when power amplifiers struggled. The mainstays, tube amplifiers, couldn’t handle low frequencies well but had immaculate highs. The newcomers, solid state amps, produced prodigious bass but struggled with the high notes. None handled both. That’s when some bright person decided to combine the best of both worlds. […]
Designed and manufactured in Great Britain from original designs, Spendor loudspeakers – which include the accessible A-Line and the enthusiast D-Line and Classic – deliver a transparent and musical sound that performs well above their price point. Indeed, so good are Spendor loudspeakers, the A4 floor-standers won a coveted five-star What Hi-Fi? Award […]
I’ve been wanting to scratch the Accuphase itch for some time now so I have just taken delivery of a used Accuphase E212 courtesy of John at Midland AudioX and carried out an A B comparison over the last couple of days. My current set up is: LP12 – used weekly for Val Doonican duties […]
Geoffrey ….. why is there such diversity between audiophile values and the audio engineering establishment’s values? I’m not sure there is – indeed, I would argue that, more often than not, audio engineers are just audiophiles who have taken their interest to the next level and gone pro. Perhaps I should start by suggesting that […]
I love my main system, but if the house burnt down it would cost bonkers money to replace. Assuming I started again how much would I spend? My ideal value-for-money system would: A sub £1000 CDP or Computer Audio set-up. A sub £1000 second hand TEAD Vibe pre-amp. A second hand Rotel poweramp for peanuts. […]
Geoffrey Owen: Somewhat like Terry Wogan and his listener, I feel my first article secured one noble reader. My hope now is to double that number in this follow-up. In my last piece, I suggested the audio industry was populated by three distinct stereotypes, these being gods, gurus and mystics; the first two I’ve covered […]
