rega1,

I have 3 good hifi buddies in Chicago who have Naim gears, I know John Schwarz from Promusica, very nice guy, I would think it would be a good way to be introduced to some Naim fan out there, talking to the local Naim dealer

cheers,

John just mounted a new cartridge on my TT, and that is where I purchased my gear from. I hang out there for hours on Saturday afternoons sometimes. All those guys are great!!!!

thank you for your input!!

Shouldn't your your name be Project instead of Rega then
John S gave me some good advices when I had to make a choice between SF Amati's and SF Elipsa, I should give him a phone call to thank him

cheers,

Maybe we have passed at quigleys, the foundry, or another venue in the past few years I have been here. I would definitely enjoy a music evening and a beverage or 2.

I drove through New Jersey one day, it was the longest week of my whole life .

More likley to have been The Lantern lately....I will be out of the country for the next 3 weeks or so but I get mid June so after then maybe?

The Lantern? Sounds like a nice relaxed place to have some suds.

Lets touch base when you arrive back home. My email will be in my profile. Have a safe trip.

Yeah, the guys at ProMusica are great. And Ken is a fantastic recording engineer. When we listen back to my music that he's recorded on the system in the basement, the instruments sound so visceral I feel like I could touch them. And it sounds even better on Ken's home system! What a joy to hear one's music sounding so magnificent.

All best,
Fred

Plenty of silicon on show.....oops...sexist remark so I guess I just re-affirmed some stereotyping!

back on track here!!

there are i think three naim dealers in greater l.a., not sure if there is one in san diego. so that's about 11 million souls and maybe one 555 on display.

i had certainly heard of naim long ago, but don't forget the connector issue. however, one seldom if ever runs across a person not in the audiophile community who has heard of naim. for example, i have an english friend, who is a musician w/ a tt, and HE never heard of it!
