Audiophiles hifi appreciation thread old and new

a naim 90/92 a rega turntable that hardly gets used. at the moment just mp3's and radio but would like to eventually get something like a naim unitiq dac/amp/streamer thingy

Great stuff, my cousin's 90/92 combo and CD3 driving a pair of Royd Minstrels circa 1995 got me interested in hifi when I was 17. I had never heard anything like it at the time.

For years I had to make good with a begged and borrowed Richer Sounds rig, but when I started working, and could afford it, I bought an old Naim 42.5 and 160 (still use the 160!).

I used to have a Planar 3 which I upgraded over the years (changed everything apart from the platter and the main bearing) never been a better turntable for the money. In fact when I bought my Gyrodec, I couldnt bring myself to sell the Rega, and it has been on long term loan to a mate of mine in Paris for about 5 years.

I've not had a go on any of the recent Naim digital stuff, I imagine its probaly great. As a company they seem content to wait until they have got a format right, before rushing to get the latest bit of kit into the market.
