Hi Naimees,I am using a NAC 52 and a Supercap. For analog I use a stageline, wich is powered by the 24V outlet of the NAC 52. Does it make sense to take an extra Supercap for the stageline. What do you think?Best regards

I am looking to add a solid state integrated amp to my current system (Cary 300sei, ProAc Response 1sc and Arcam Alpha 8 cd player) so that I can have a "plug and play" option in addition to my beloved tubes. I auditioned the Nait 5i and I loved it. ...

And that's a problem ? Well YES, because I just can't seem to able to muster the prerequisite feelings of disgust, boredom, greed, lust or unhappiness necessary to tear me from the warm embrace of my "old" CDS2 and into the muscular arms of a shiny...

Hello, I'm new here because I'm new to Naim. I demo'ed the CD5 and NAIT5 about 2 years ago and really liked it, but went in the tube direction at the time. But since then I've been looking for a way to fit Naim into a system. I finally did it by...

With all the recent talk of toddler-carnage I wondered about the logic of putting some of my kit in an enclosed rack. QAV cabinet looks good but I have noticed the Arca range which IMO may provide the solution.http://www.arcafurniture.net/Anyone have...

Hello All,I’d just like to thank Naim Audio and in particular Richard Dane for their outstanding response times in answering emails. I have twice recently enquired about the service histories of various units. The first email was answered in 1...

Has anyone got one lying about that I could borrow for a day and then return? I've more or less lost the left channel (a sort of crosstalk only signal) on my 32.5/110 and supect the very old grey snaic - in any case it seems the first thing to...

I bought one for about 65$. This is the first model, and is a great surprise. For the price, is a best buy for sure, but it really sounds very good. I gave a LP 12, Micromega stage 3 and 90/2 for a CDI and a 140, and now with the Thorens I'm sure that...

When my Naim gear sounds good, it's really good but sometimes it just sounds like I'm listening through water. Last night I was listening to some music and in the space of about a minute the sound just suddenly cleared (like a veil being lifted)and I...

The title says it all.Does anyone have any suggestions, insights or thoughts?I must admit that on demo at the dealer there was substantial resonance at times which we put down to the quality of their room. Still, it sounded pretty bad and the "bad...

Forum newbie (my first post), so please be gentle..... I'm looking for opinions/reviews on a shortlist of products, hopefully soon to be my first Naim system.... At the mo I already have an a/v set up - B&W and Rotel, if you want a look check out - ( www.avforums.com/memberpages/31759/ ) But, as we have managed to secure a new house I'm looking to invest in a new set up. Oh, and the budget has definitely stretched from 2k!! Short list 1...this is the cheaper option - the one my fiancé...

I have learned a lesson. NEVER wall mount heavy equipment above pieces of expensive gear, especially without wall anchors. A few days ago a makeshift wallshelf that housed probably 70 lbs worth of an Armageddon and Epona SPS failed. Only one end was...
