Hi-Fi Corner

Hi,About 5 years ago, my local dealer let me test two integrated: the 3 and the 3R. The 3R was clearly better; it was not, as he told me, just a remote that was added but a new rearrangement on the pre-amplifier section. I now want to buy a 92, and I...

I have a dilemma. I want some speakers to go with my CD5/NAC112/NAP150. Money is very tight: Well, its not that the money isn't there but I've just taken the long walk from my job, so there's none coming in at the moment and Mrs.H. raises her eyebrows...

I'm having some DIN-Phono cables made up for my soon to be arriving Nait 5.Can someone confirm whether they are rotating locking or latch-loakable 5-pin DIN plugs?cheers,Paul

I have just got a new Head-line powered by a Hi-Cap, does the Hi-Cap need time to burn in? If so, how long does it take?Thanks Robert

Hello been on a few times here, very curious to what people have as a complete system. I see alot of combos or people trying a hicap or flatcap etc and what recent upgrades made th biggest difference. or least amount of improvement etc.....here is...

I recently noticed, at my local dealers, an axis/Ittok LVII/ Asaka combination for $900CDN - over here - Vancouver Island - LP12/Ittok/Valhallas go for around $1500 to $1800. Would an Ittok on an axis be a substantial upgrade from an axis/akito or is...

My Systemdek IIX tt/RB250 is now due for replacement. I love the sound my Naim CD3 produces so can anyone tell me which of the above would be the nearest match soundwise to the CD3? I have considered the OL motor mod but I'm open to...

Has anyone got a decent pic of Naim beech NBLs or any other speaker for that matter?Graham.Not a lad any longer and not from London!

hi all,is it true theres an imminent price increase?if so does anyone know how much?cheers,scotty

I wonder what cable you guys using, besides naim cables, especially power cord and speaker cable. Please share your experience.

OK, More DVD dilemmasDoes a DVD player with the 6 pre-outs for each channel actually pump out the DTS processed sound or just the 5.1 to each channel? Or is this selectable within the DVD?Help appreciated,Jim

This post is inspired by bec143's earlier post.

Does anyone have a copy of the NBL owners manual they could e-mail me. I picked up a pair yesterday from a dealer, but on arrival home (150 miles away!) I found they had only given me the Installation and Service guide which, contrary to it's title,...

OK, its time for me to own up to being ignorant. Can someone please tell me what this actually means. As a NAIM owner I guess I am a 'flat earther' but it will be nice to know what that makes me!

I've just purchased my first piece of naim kit, a 9 month old Nait 5 off ebay.. should be here early next week.I need to sort out some cabling, specifically speaker cable, and from doing a little reading it appears it's best to go with NACA5 with a...

MuchachosPeter Belt, psychoacoustics. yes yes yes......surely just playing a CD cannot improve your system....except I think it has... smoother, clearer, an effect akin to a bit of a power supply improvement. Tried it out first of all in the car CD -...

Hi Y'all,Just like (I guess) most of the people on this Naim forum I love the Naim Fraim.But...,no I'm not gonna nag about the price.(although I should, afterall I am Dutch )I was wondering the following:I can imagine that the Naim Fraim does a...

Hallo,need advice, is the trampolin better than the solid base or is it depending where the lp12 is placed?

I know this tuner wasn't in the league of the NAT01 but can anyone offer a view on it today and how it might compare to a more modern Cyrus FM7 tuner and approx s/h value today?Thanks in advance...Life has just got better

FolksHave people here experienced the fact that there is a "right" volume for most music, and it is different from CD to CD.You can raise the volume gently from the bottom stop and suddenly the depth and liveness of the music appears. You go to...

Dear Forum-peoples,My system: Planar3/RB300/Super Elys/Stageline N/NAC112/NAP150/CD5/FC2/Rega Kytes (through NACA4 cable).Following my faux pas on an earlier thread, in which I mistakenly suggested the FC2 can power 3 items, I was left wondering what...
