Naim Nait Integrateds... Sound Quality Comparison, User Comments and Bang for the Buck
What would be the problem with pairing Vandersteen with Naim? Respectfully. 
Dumb lo-fi question.
I believe you are assuming correctly. Receivers of that era, and probably now also, would parallel two sets of speaker terminals.  Generally, most speakers, I say most, not all, run a nominal impedance of 6 to 8 ohms. If you run four speakers that...

In regards to the faint signal you hear just prior to the music starting is indeed, print thru. Peter Lederman of Soundsmith told me that the louder this sound is, the better the azimuth alignment of the cartridge is. It can be used as sort of a t...

Home owner's insurance question
My insurance agent said they would cover for loss of my system in case of a major loss, but said it would be a good idea to take detailed pics of all my equipment including Cd's and Lp's. The latter could be more expensive than the equipment if yo...
