My current system: 102 Preamp 2 x 135s Supercap 2 Linn Kabers (passive) Arcam FMJ23 CD.....(!) I have a really difficult but pleasant decision to make in the next month or so.

I know the Arcam is woefully lacking but I just can't come to a conclusion on where my money should go and would greatly appreciate your advice. Many thanks, Ian

In order to improve the illusion that musicians are coming out of my speakers and are in the room with me (or something like that) I got life size cardboard cut-outs of my favorite musicians, and I place them between the speakers while I'm listening....

Hi, Ever since I have connected my 252 via unity gain to the AV2, I now experience pops and crackles through the front speakers. Even when the AV2 is in standby mode, this still occurs, providing unity gain is selected on the 252. Naim thought it...

Hello,I need some help with power supply options. Does a Nait5 have the ability to be powered by an olive hicap? I currently power my Stageline from the Nait. I would also like to power the Stageline with a hicap. I know I could just get the flatcap2,...

A reasonable comment regarding my otherwise all-Naim system (from thread on Devore speakers):"The best upgrade you can do for your system is to ditch the PS audio thingy"and from NANA site:"Do not be fooled--power conditioners will make your system...
