Hi-Fi Corner

Hi there, My SBL are currently stand on the suspended wooden floor with TOUC spike discs. (similar to Fraim Chips, not cheap & made of special metal, but well, compare to Fraim chip? I think they are better, as they have the angle and there is pnly one point for the spike, not lkie the chips, which the spike can move around.) I am think about to get 2 marbles and place the SBL on them. I am sure some of you have done some experiments on that, what is the outcome? One more point, what should...

MuchachosI know I am not unique in this, but over the last year or so my system has come on in leaps and bounds - expenditure on Cirkus/Service for LP12/82/Supercap/Akiva/Ku-Stones (OK polymer stands ) for my Kabers.I think my kit sounds pretty...

Hii am thinking about having some attenuted interconnects made for my CD2/72/Hicap/250. Which interconnect is best to attenuate? the one going from the CD player to the 72 or the interconnect between the 72 and Hicap?Thanks for your help

On the subject of stands again ;i have on offer a apollo five tier rack for free. I know this is a bit old hat now ; but does seem to be mod friendly ie spikes for each shelf or replace shelves with mdf in place of chipboard . regards pip

I am wondering if it is possible to get high quality audio from Satellite audio?Has anyone any experience of this?Thanks

I want a good integrated amp and I really don't like seperates that much..For me it seems like the Nait 5i is a better choice soundwise but not functional wise than the Nait 5. It seems like the Nait 5i is better because Naim themselves claims it's...

Dear all, My current setup comprised fully loaded LP12 with 52 snaxo242/SCAP 250s SBLs as detailed further in my profile. I had livedvery happily with the set up having SNAXO 2-4 for many years but the addition of the 242 SNAXO has quite literally...

Greetings AllNow this is one for the growing list of members amongst us all, who have taken either tentative, or full blown steps into the world of Home Theatre, either as a separate system to their 2 channel HiFi, or as some others have done, to...

I have a new CD5i and Nait 5i. I have heard that there is an improvement in sound quality to be gained by switching the displays of both the amp and CD player off. It may be my ears but there appears to be absolutely no audible difference between...

Surely there has to be a better way of securing the little plastic cups than the oh so fiddly little sticky tape rings? They are far better at sticking to your fingers than the glass!!! A product at this price should have a more elegant solution.

Is there anyone out there who is sucessfully running a non-Naim AV processor with a NAIT 5. If so which model.I have an issue going back to 2001, which I never really got to the bottom of. See...

I listen a lot to my headphones and feel that it may be worthwhile upgrading the cable.I am using Sennheiser HD 600's with a creek obh 11se.I am very happy with the amp and have seen an uprade cable from Russ Andrews but this is far too expensive for...

I am planning ahead for my power supply upgrade for my NAIT5/CD5 system.It looks like the cost of a new FC2 is about the same as the cost of two 2nd hand Hicaps.I don't have a dealer within 100+ miles that can demo both of the units.Does anyone have...

Hello,Does anybody is using Nap 250 with a passive preamplifier and is happy with it ?Whar kind of passive preamp are you using - 10K,20K 50K? PS I know that many people will immedaitely write: Naim amps are made to work with naim preamps, etc.

It is about the 3 amps in an active system. After moving the system I'm not sure that each amp is driving the same drivers.Did somebody notice some changes after switching the amps, for instance bass amp powers the tweeters, mid amp bass drivers and...

There are a lot of loudspeakers (two way in a more or less shoeboxsize )on the market.It began with ls 3/5 ,later on kan,kef coda,smalldynaudios,and hundred others.Material of chassis is often not hearable related to the sound. Frequencie measures off...

Well I need to qualify that slightly. By "quieter" I mean increases in clarity and reduction in noise floor together witha cleaner more separated delivery of the music.By "louder" I mean the temptation to increase the volume because it all sounds so...

Have a non-Naim (sorry!) sytem, and need to know if I should be looking at upgrading my Lingo 1 - is a Lingo 2 worth the extra £500 (after selling Lingo 1)?

Other than seperate spurs etc - is there any other way of reducing transformer hum, without the music being adversely affected?Also, does transformer hum damage anything?Any help would be very much appreciated thanks

Hello,My current system is cd5 + nait5 + fc2 + naca5 + speakers.I'm given the possibility to buy a brand new NAC112 at half price... Thus I want to use my Nait5 as power amp (I'm not rich enough to buy a NAP150). My FC2 will then power CD5 +...

Believe it or not, when I look for Linn dealer in Israel (for the Adikt) THIS is what I get.Are you looking for a kitchen?Arye

I know its true but when you are waiting it does start to get you worried.Last week my new CDX2/XPS2 arrived. 3 days on the sound is not yet on a par with my old Radford CD player/ DaCapo DAC set up. Detail yes, but depth and tone, no.Now, I was told...

Hello,can a Nait5+Flatcap1 drive a Magneplanar MMG?Thanks

Last weekend I brought home a Nait 5i with a pair of Spendor S5e speakers to audition. I thought the combination sounded rather stunning.This weekend I brought back the S5e's along with the NAC 112/NAP 150 combo.Surprisingly, thus far I feel that the...
