New Dynavector SUP 200
I heard it for just a couple hours, and loved it. Was being used with a Dynavector xv1s and EMT 6? I think. Gorgeous. I want one. Comes from Dynavector Japan, not Australia, where the P-75 comes from. It's on my list! 
Phonostage: Naim Superline vs 47 Labs phonocube
Hi Pani,Love the 5i, it can drive a great number of speakers quite well. Are you using Naim cable?Love your digital combo as well. Great together. And you know how Naim works with external power. The Naim DAC works the same. PS! If you please. Don... 
Which Harbeth?
Good to hear. I've just personally never heard them act problematic. All rooms are different, though, as you found out. Now the big 40's are different altogether. Put them in your size room and my hunch from reading many posts and reviews is that ... 
Phonostage: Naim Superline vs 47 Labs phonocube
The loading is much easier and variable with the Uphorik as well. Agreed, I never have liked Linn's naming system, or spellings. 
Phonostage: Naim Superline vs 47 Labs phonocube
True, with hicap the superline is twice the uphorik, but not twice the sq. but if I remember the review correctly, didn't they use the supercap, which would make it 3 times the uphorik? Then I'd probably definitely go superline, knowing what a fan... 
Leben CS600 or ARC VSi60 with Harbeth Compact 7's
But the 7 is a vastly different speaker to drive than the 5's. With the 5's I've watched people divide between Leben or ARC.With the 7's it's a different kettle of fish entirely. All about context, and synergy. 
Phonostage: Naim Superline vs 47 Labs phonocube
Hi Pani,Superline needs a ps, ala Hi-cap. No good on its own47 Labs nice, but in their system only. Linn Uphorik betters those, and it sounds wonderful in a Naim system. 
Bedini still in business?
Just in time for the newly revamped Shahinian line. They go perfectly together... 
Bedini still in business?
Great news! Thanks for the info. 
Naim Dac or power supply?
Lol to Bartolo..... I think a good 5 min chat with a Naim dealer would have sorted Blk out....maybe. It appears the OP received good advice regardless. 
Which Harbeth?
An interesting assumption, Luna....how many different rooms have you tried a pair in? I totally disagree. but that's me. 
Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review
Hi Mingles....no offense. He always made flash in the pan designs...I used to hear hobbyist (some) speak reverently about him in the 80's, and I'd roll my eyes. It seemed he was always only a marketer, and never a designer of musical taste. Don't ... 
Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink
The Litepipe from Silfatec comes in two styles, the flimsy plastic coating (white) or metal cased. I was told by the rep you could run over the metal version. Just in case you were worried about crimping.The connectors are quite snug. Plastic? Meh... 
Naim Dac or power supply?
You will be treated splendidly. Naim gives great service.Naim digital is superb.Buy the power supply first, and no, there is no minglingof supplies. The external one yields way more than the built-in. That is Naim's way. One either buys into it or... 
earlier Musical Fideltiy V-LInk to new V-Linkll
Thanks Realremo. Hi res doesn't interest me, as yet. Huge backlash against it coming now anyway. I guess something to get whipped up about, like SACD. As much as I like the improvements in my MacBook pro overall that the vlink and better USB cable...
