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....

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?

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?

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...

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?
