My source components are hooked up to a Nait 5 via three Chord Cobra interconnects. A few questions, if I may.In the Chord line, where do the Cobra cables rate? Naim USA lists the Cobra 2.I examined the cables and they have a triangle printed on them....

I recently had my old Quad ESL 57's completely rebuilt here in the US and although they sound wonderful it has highlighted one thing. I need to upgrade my digital front end. As anyone who has heard a pair of these speakers will confirm they are...

Who has the experiments with the combination what's in the title?In what combination do i get the best sound?I already did a demo with the nait5/CD5 - nait5/CD5/FC2 - nait5i/cd5i/cd5 - nait5/CDX2. The last one was very good but out of my budget so no...

Would appreciate any advice on this combination for a newbie. I'm thinking of getting a used Nait5 (due to the new 5i, this may be a better buy in the used market). Anyone owns a such a partnering at home with excellent results? Thanks.

I know the CD5i has both DIN and RCA outputs. Is it possible to use both simultaneously, the DIN connected directly to a NAIT5i and the RCAs to an older tube amp I own? This will allow easier switching between the two amps while still utilizing the...

Read a site recently saying that all musical instruments are polyradial in their sound dispersion characteristics, therefore only omnidirectional loudspeakers can possibly work.Comments for and against???Joe90

I was trying to balance my Ekos tonearm the other day, and found that I could move the counterweight and it would still balance(!). I thought therefore it was time to upgrade to an Ekos 2. This got me onto more thinking (oops...), and I thought what...

Since there seems to be more and more info trickling out regarding the new cd unit due out this summer, is there any word about a future integrated amp that would be reference series type design, rather than 5i design?

I know its not a Naim question, but i was wondering if anyone had found away round the following problem?Basically i cant get my mac to read the CD layer of any hybrid CD/SACD's it insists on telling me they are blank DVD's!! so cant copy them to...

For all the Neat fans out there I'm pleased to report that my Ultimatum MFC centre speaker arrived a couple of days ago. Matched with my MF5's at the front and driven by a 145 it is simply stunning. Just watched some of 'Concert for George' which has...

My girlfriend likes both the Linn Classik and the Intro2. But I can never get a demonstration on this combo here. I know that Naim amplifier has good synergy with Linn speakers. How about the other way round? Can someone share their experiences?

I recently got a Hi Cap back after repair / overhaul (from Infidelity), but no repair info was supplied - The Serial Number was 150104 - any help please?Admin?

Inspired by Travec's thread, let's hear your tales of woe.

Hi,Im looking at upgrading my 102 to an 82 in the near future... I know the supercap is the better one to go for, but will this work with my current 102 and more importantly, the new 82 when I get it?ThanksAdam

If anyone owns a CDS1 and has not yet upgraded to the new X-CDPS burndy cable then I can strongly recommend you do so. 265 quid.So much more of everything is there. Its smoother and the music takes on a distinctly more organic quality. 3D image is...

Skampy,Well, brother, I think it's time you posted the results of your search. Whatcha decide?Meat Puppet (what a great name),What has been the outcome, pray tell, of your troubleshooting efforts with the 135's? Got them sorted yet?Markus-------

Sorry for the re-posting of information for those of you who have read my previous posts. I've been searching/reading so much info on this forum that my brain hurts. I am in the process of spiffing up my current system: Linn LP12, Arcam FMJ CD23T,...

Yesterday we heard the unfortunate news that one of our Capacitor suppliers has ceased trading and cannot fulfill our most recent order. We have enough stocks for a few more months but until a suitable replacement can be found that performs to a...

Anybody know the difference between the Spendor S6 and the S6e (apart from £200 on the RRP)I presume the S6e has superceeded the S6. I heard the S6e yesterday and was quite impressed, just wondering if the S6 (not S6e's) on ebay are as good?
