Hi-Fi Corner

Hy there! i wonder while talking about different solid state amps(no tubes),and if they are able to drive (if not the sound wil go out of phase)the used speakers, then it seems logical to me that in this case flat earth or round earth will only depend...

I have been wondering for some time if there is any significant difference between power outputs in different brands as to the makeup of voltage and ampheres?I remember, from the small amount of electronics education that I have not used for many...

Ayup... that's really all I need to know. Just curious.

Hi all,hopefully someone can not only steer me right but at the same time tell me what I want to hear (smiley). I want to get a new 250 and use it along with an olive 250 to powermy active sbl's using a new snaxo. My question is: if I'm going to do...

We will be moving to a new home soon(Just decided). I need to free up some cash until after we are settled in.I have cancelled plans to possibly get a new turntable and am considering selling my Naim SL2's to have the extra cash for the move.I have...

Has anybody connected a SACD/DVD A into a AV2?If so, which sockets do you connect in to?

I just wondered if any one connects their 250 direct to the pre-amp instead of routing via power supply. Being the only amp in the olive series that you can do this to (easily)ie. without using adaptors for 135s or modifying leads ( for other amps...

Hello there, I've been lurking and reading posts for a while now and it seems like a pretty helpful list.I have a problem, I have resurrected my system after some time in storage and would be grateful for suggestions for speakers to audition.System...

So. I did the Mem CU, then I did the 10mm spurs. Now I've done the 25mm armoured: A feed from my Mem CU back to the incoming supply. This mains upgrade is up there with the best - the usual stuff: much better grip, timing, pace, dynamics. For the...

Going from olive 250's to new 250's or.... from XPS to XPS2? Everything else the same (the amp configuration is active, BTW). Thanks for any opinions voiced with authority, experience or both.Regards,Rich J

Any "Intro" speaker users (or ex users) out there care to tell me where the serial number is on them? A pictures would be helpful :-)Thanks, Martin.Computers are supposed to work on 1's and 0's - in other words "Yes" or "No" - why does mine frequently...

After seeing an advert for Wilmslow Audio Supersound Capacitors I was left wondering whether replacing the ordinary electrolytic capacitors in my aging Monitor Audio speakers would bring any benefit.Two new capacitors for the tweeter section of the...

Hello kinda new here, have 202/200/hicap. Wondering how long does it take to reach optimum performance, I have had it about 2 weeks and leave it on all the time, does that help or does it burn in when only signal goes thru with it, and if so does same...

I have an LP12 with Armageddon and Aro arm. What would be involved with fitting a prefix and would the deck need to be reset or is it something that can be done without affecting the bounce, etc.?John

I found some pictures of my old systems while clearing out some files. So here are some starting with my old Well Tempered with Custom Made Mad Bad Stone Plinth circa. 1997

hello anybody have experience with naim and musical fidelity equipment, any comments? thanks,Ben r

I am sure few of you can probably relate to the moment when your spouce responds or makes a comment on your system. This morning, I was awaken by the sound of music playing from our living room. I came downstairs and found my hubby ( with two dogs by...

My new Headline is being delivered on Wednesday.Is it worth going for the Hi-Cap just for Headphones ?(Sennheiser 580 Jubilee). My pre-amp is an 82 with Supercap.Cheers Robert

Does anyone know of a half-width (i.e. to suit the half-width Naim components e.g. Hicap, NAT02) rack, about 25 cm / 9-10 in wide, similar to Ash, quadraspire etc? I know Mission (sorry, Cyrus) do a narrow rack specific to their components, but I...

Ok guys. I know it breaks all the rules. But I bought CD5/NAC112/ NAP150/ FC2/ Stageline/ Headline/ FC2again and ... Wilson Benesch Orators. It's a fantastic system. I tried lots of other speakers (including PMCFB1s, Spendors, Arcs) but there was no...

Hi,Do we have any happy/unhappy SVS cylinder subwoofer users for stereo music listening only rather than AV? Since I can't audition one I'd really value opinions from those with some experience of their use in a Naim amped music system.I am also...

I have recently bought a CDX2 which i used with chord CPA2200/SPM1200 amps into living voice avatar and have to say im hooked!? so much so i want to explore adding more naim! Ive managed to pick up some second hand stuff to experiment with, firstly an...
