HiA bit of advice please.Im fitting an SME V/ Koetsu to my Roksan Xerxes, question is how do i drive it?Do i fit K or S boards into my 102, or go for an external jobbie such as Stageline or the Tom Evans Microgroove, which ive heard good things about....

Ahh, Thought the topic may get your attention!!I'm currently looking for some new speakers for my Nait5i/CD5i. The budget is anything from a few hundred for something second hand (which would help me justify a NAT5) upto £1300approx.Ive been...

Thinking about selling my Regas, in preparation (hopefully) of moving into a new space. Anyone know what they might be worth on the market these days? Cosmetically they're very good; functionally, no problems.Thanks.Jay

WoodyWhat was the name of the band I liked? The one you played near the end of the evening.Time for my next upgrade - a CD shopping spree!Seth

My current system is CD5/Flatcap2, NAC102/SNAPS NAP250 (olive) into SBLs.I'm just about to upgrade the SNAPS to a HICAP and the 250 to two 135s. Two questions please:1. What difference am I likely to expect ?2. In terms of further upgrade, what Active...

I will shorlty getting a second fraim base unit and will be running my equipment in a 'two stack' formation. Would I be right in thinking that the power amps and supplies should be on one side with the cd/preamp on the other? Or does it not really...

I have, at present 2 Hi caps with my 82 - one of which is 6 years old and has just come back after repair/recapping, the other is nearer 12 years old and will go back for recapping in the next day or two (get in the line for recapping anyway..) - my...

Who has had any problem's with his NAIM apparatus and how is it made?What was it and what were the costs?For example: CD5 with a broken transportmechanism. Could you solf it by your self or did you have to go back to your dealer?And what were the cost...

I have just had an ARO fitted to my LP12 with a Dynavector DV20 cartridge. It sounds really great and is a big improvement over my Ittok but for one odd thing. When I tried to play a record with the lid closed, the lid hit the top of the lifting...

Hello EveryoneI was wondering whether it's possible to get remote control added to a Nait 3 by Naim, I suppose thus turning it into a Nait 3R?If so how much would it cost?Thanks in advance for any helpChris

Nait 5i Weaknesses:- Not the same case like my CD5, it’s a little bit cheaper- Audible mechanical transformer humming- Volume goes not to zero !- If you turn the volume, you can feel the LED wires, it is’nt satisfying.- If you turn off...

Hi all,Thinking about getting NAIM 5i but afraid it is not powerful enough to drive ELAC 310 (4 ohm, 86 db). In ELAC's website,they suggest using amps with 50-150 W/channel. Has anyone heard this (similiar) setup before? Does NAIM 5i have enough juice...

I'm interested in transferring some of my LPs to CD ("out of print items"). I have done this once using a Pioneer 609 recorder, so I'm familiar with the process. Can anyone offer an opinion on which machine(s) are best at analogue to digital...

For AV listening I purchased an Arcam AVR200 surround sound receiver. The main stereo pair from this fed into my NAC62/NAP250/SBLs. When listening to the AV system, the volume control on the NAC62 was held constant (12 o’clock) while I adjusted...

Afternoon AllPerhaps I should add to my opening subject,the proviso of 'of any significance'Ambling around the forum here as I am want to do, shows the main topics to be of the usual somewhat Naim focussed thoughts (no bad thing in that) and...

Hi,Recently, when listening to music at low levels I noticed several changes in volume every few minutes (sometimes up, sometime down). Has anybody similar experiences with the 112 or possibly the Nait5, as they both use resistor ladders for volume ...

Up until recently I was happy with my fairly modest system which I had for about 15 years… a Nait 2, Epos ES 14, NACA4 (upgraded to 5), Linn Axis TT, and an old Dennon CD player (I cannot recall which one, but at the time it was probably around the...

I'm sorry if this question has been asked many time. Hope you folks can give me some advices here.I'm using 72/140 and want a pair of floor standing speakers. I have the following options in mind:1. Linn Ninka (used)2. Naim Intro 2 (used)3. Rega Ela...
