I almost murdered the kids last month when one of them decided to invert one of the tweeters with a finger on my brand new Rega Juras. Luckily no long term damage done. I'm sure that other forum members must have discovered that hifi and kids (even...

Does this cartridge look right, particularly to any other MC25FL owners?It looks at the wrong angle to me, I would have thought it should be perfectly central, but it clearly isn't. I don't know how long it's been like this, and am obviously concerned...

Good evening.A friend of mine wants to put together a home theater system to go with his TV. This would include surround speakers, amp and DVD player. His budget is in the $3K-4K CDN area. This should include everything. Obviously Naim is a difficult...

I’ve borrowed a pair of MF9s! These are far and away the best speakers I’ve heard in this room, or anywhere else. They have effortless control, scale, dynamics, speed, detail, clarity, crispness, and they have it all without a semblance of...

There is much talk on this forum about musical this and timing that, PRaT is all etc. However this is more frequently countered with fears of having over dusted the speaker cable with the wrong type of Mr Sheen.My question - what is the ratio of...

Hi Naimies,I have an 7.1 construction with an AV2 and Rotel RDV1060 DVDplayer. Everthing plays fine, but my AV2 is not able to recognize DolbyDigital 5.1EX material. I can manually select EX, but this works with every 5.1 Material and sounds worse....

Last night I received my recently purchased used 112/150 combo. Used the supplied interconnect, which appears to be a 4-pin to 4-pin model, to connect the amp to the preamp. I think I attached to the correct output on the pre, the next to last socket...

Dear ForumI am confused,Everyone raves about putting soundbases underneath SBL's and equipment in general.If the piece of kit (SBL's in this case) are already well spiked, why would moutning them on a spiked platform make any difference. It is my...

I would appreciate some comments on what to do next.I have in the past three/four weeks changed my 102/180 for a 82/250. I was very lucky in sourcing a mint 250 and a two year old 82. A massive step forward.Indeed I have found the 82 to be a...

Has anyone tried a Naim setup with TAD TSM-300 speakers? I have listened to them briefly and was very impressed by the clear and airy sound.
