Vinyl At Frank Harvey Hi-Fi!
Due to demand from our customers, we are now stockists of vinyl at our Coventry store. We are going to start off with several hundred from classic artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Jimi Hendrix, and also more modern artists like Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Rage Against The Machine, Queens Of The Stone Age, Pearl jam, Radiohead, and The Black Keys. We’ll build up our stocks over time (and be able to order) records from all major labels such as Polydor, Warner, Decca, EMI etc to smaller labels such as Music On Vinyl, XL Recordings, and Warp, plus many, many more.

Naim UnitiServe
Naim Audio have announced a hard disk player / server called the UnitiServe. It allows direct ‘bit for bit’ ripping from CD to it’s onboard 1.5TB hard drive, and includes a UPnP audio server within it’s small, half width “HiCap sized” box. The UnitiServe is a derivative of Naim’s HDX HDD / CD player, sharing much of the technology used in one of the best HDD CD players available.
The UnitiServe will support high resolution audio up to 24 bit/192kHz, and most audio formats (WAV/AIFF/FLAC/OGG/AAC/WMA/MP3), and can be controlled by the existing Naim HDX control App for the iPod Touch / iPhone.
There is also a UnitiServe SSD, which removes the internal HDD drive and will assign ripped CD’s to an external NAS drive.
I have full specs here, so if there’s any specifics anyone wants to know, feel free to ask!
The UnitiServe will be available from June 2010.
