The guy who is electronics design director at NAIM is called Steve Sells. Way back, I recruited him from University into Cambridge Audio, when he was already a power amplifier designer of some capability. After a short while, we moved that into Wharfedale, where we planned to re-launch the LEAK brand. I asked him to design the best power amp he possibly could, price no compromise. I told him that we had to out-Krell Krell, and if he felt that silver wired mains power transformers were essential, he could have them (he didn't - phew!). This was a superb animal, balanced input, bridged FET output monoblocks that would push 800W into 2 ohms, each with three mains transformers (two huge ones + and - for power transistors, and a single higher voltage one for the input amplifiers). Fast forward three decades, and NAIM told him the same thing, best possible no holds barred - Statement was the result. Not for those with less than seven figure salaries. An awesome audio tour de force. Have a look at this:

Chicken schnitzel becomes chicken tonkatsu with rice and broccoli.

Shit happens.

Spent two hours with my arm elbow deep in a 100 year old drain clean-out trying to dislodge a clog only to discover that the drain stopper had been engaged.

Yes yes, but which portable amp should I get to power my new Utopias -- the minifartZ XT2.2 or the Happystyle Pooku Yay? Opinions appear to differ on HF.

An onion by any other naim smells just as volatile

Only hips don't EVER lie!

You say, 'schnitzel', I say, 'tonkatsu', Let's call the whole thing off...

I left out the middle pivot that you participated in -- chicken cutlet sandwiches on baguette at the Sound Summit!

Improvise..

Man, thank goodness it's a hoax. Besides, "they" keep saying marijuana helps cancer, he should be clean as a whistle!

Knowing Focal, probably Naim DAC-V1 (Focal and Naim merged in 2011, and Focal always use Naim gear to demo their speakers)

Gerry Mulligan Meets Been Webster. Reissue DMM

Just put a deposit down on one of the aforementioned "announcements."

Finished season 1.

I should listen to those more too!
