| Amp for Naim line? Probably better to upgrade within the Naim world. If your 250 is getting on to 10 years old, a recapping will provide a very noticeable upgrade. Given that you already have a Supercap, upgrading your 82 to a 52 (if you can find one) would improve ... | |
| Naim Audio recap I have personal experience with a number of Naim power amp recaps, though not specifically a 140. In every case, the performance improvement was not subtle. If you've been happy with your 140 and it still suits your needs, a recap is a good invest... | |

| Best location setup of turntable I second Bdgregory. I use a Target. If you're not particularly handy and it takes more than $100 to do the job right, you will find that it's worth it. | |

| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll For great rock 'n' roll performance for value, look for a decently cared for pair of vintage Klipsch Cornwalls: efficient, 15" woofer, happy at high decibels. One small caveat: they sound best at 20' or farther. | |
| Where to start with vinyl Rega TT from the P3 on up, Dynavector 17D3 cartridge, and Dynavector P-75 Mk. 2 phono preamp (will accommodate low or high output cartridges). To borrow from one of the other responders, this combo will be "more satisfying" than virtually any digi... |
