Richard they all look great!!! I especially like the aluminum-wood sandwich model. Is that aluminum or painted wood? 
Dynavox DynaStation CD player
Thanks Kevinkwann. The Dynastation was one of those rare products that sounded like music. The former importer is also the importer of AMR which I now own, DP777 and PH77 for my SP10 MK3 turntable. I still sometimes miss the sound of the Dynastati...

The polarity issue would take way more time to get into and explain than I have :) Let your ears be the judge, try it oriented in both positions and ponder what you hear :)Just so you know I am not one of those people as it relates to high end who... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Loftarasa; I totally understand that all things don't work in all systems and you are correct, the iTube Mini is on the way and as I understand it, that you unit will sport S.E. and TRUE Balanced inputs and outputs along with multiple inputs. The ...

Hi JazzOnTheHudson, some comparisons have been to Murray James, FIM Gold, Argento (CRAZY EXPESNIVE!!!!) and I always go back to my design. Not sure exactly what you are referring to by "Magnetic Cables". DIY cables can be as good and better than a... 
How long before your cartridge warms up?
So it does appear that is my room is below 75 degrees F my cartridge (MC Anna) requires a side or two to warm up and start delivering on the quality I know it to be capable of.., realized this last night when the sound wasn't so great and I correl...

I find this whole discussion interesting and I have already gleaned some good things to take from the discourse. Thanks all. 
How long before your cartridge warms up?

How long before your cartridge warms up?
Thanks Effischer, you may be right. I did some more experimentation today and it could be anything from the load on the utility box at the time to other components warming up (bearing in the table).., etc. I usually have the amp and the phono pre ...

Naim has been world class in handling this. They offered me a replacement album in addition to the discount on the digit hi res download. Now that is customer service :)I am going to make a digital copy of a track or two on my album and then my bu... 
Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund?
My buddy brought his copy of "Meet Me in London" on vinyl over today to do a comparison. Naim states that my LP is fine and that is how it is supposed to sound. I know that to be wrong, and my buddies copy proved me right. His vinyl copy is WORLDS... 
Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund?
Finally TWO weeks later my Naim "Meet Me in London" album has arrived. To say I am disapointed would be an understatement. The album has too much surface noise but the bigger problem is the recording itself, for instance my 24/192 version of "Take...

Sjy425, thanks for the information on the mono cartridges. I know you can't compare the mono Miyajima and Yamamoto head-to-head but if you had to select (by memory) one to live with.., which would it be?Richardkrebs; thanks for the elucidation con...
