someone suggested that I can use an extra power amp, by connecting the extra amp to the FC II's second socket(suppose to be used for mono blocks like 135) is this possible? anyone tried?the connection should be:112-->FC II---->2 x 150

Anyone tried it?

i have an older prefix with the grey cable,is it worth sending it to naim to get it updated(how much £)i also getting a hum but when i remove the earth from the lp it disapears

I bought a S/H XPS (2002 version) for my CDX over the weekend.When I connected it up, only the left channel worked. All other sources worked OK, so by process of elimination I isolated it down to the 5 pin SNAIC. Luckily I had a spare, which I fitted...

Can anyone tell me whether if you are listening though a Headline connected to Naim preamp and using a line input, it makes any difference whichpreamp?

Apologies if this has ben resolved elsewhere (tho' my research has failed to yield anything). Have recently acquired various units secondhand and have been able to add to/replace as appropriate in my system. However I remain curious about the...

hi ive just bought a second hand hicap 2 to add on to my nac 112,i orginally had the flatcap 2 on it but will be getting rid of that as i have a cdx2 coming next week to replace my cd5 but my question is,when i added the hicap i immediately noticed...

Hello,I know that a Prefix is better in comparison with Stageline or internal phono boards,but what's about a Stageline versus phono boards.Would a Stageline powered by a 52 preamp sound better than my internal phono boards(NA 522 from ~ 1994)TT is a...

Or as good and cheaper ? I'm thinking of getting a 98-12 for Rack levelling purposes. Is there a European alternative ? is there a cheaper alternative. A 98-12 is c US$150.PeterUser34 at Laposte dot net

Several years ago I set my sights on Spendor S100 or SP100s. I've been able to hear S100s and 'briks - in non-ideal circumstances, to be sure, but what I have heard certainly has influenced me.I have done nothing like a scientific comparison, but to...

HiCan I replace the 13 Amp fuse in my Grahams' Hydra for a higher-rated one, or remove it completely? To remove it completely, what can I replace it with?ThanxRichard

Hello all,My recently recapped 110 quit working. Well sort of. It seems that when I remove the fuse it works. Well, some of time. It seems as though when I "wiggle" the AC cord it works. Well, some of the time. I opened the amp and could not find any...

i was just looking into the history section of the main web site and came up with some interesting observations. some obvious i know. but bear with me.if tou look at some of the "classic" naim kit you will see that compared to other products the cd...

Hi,I thought i'd tell y'all about my faffing about with the above racks etcMy wife gave me the ultimatum to sort the racks out for the final time, so I ordered what in effect would be the 'brains' rack, to house my 282/CDX2/stageline initially. if I...

I did a spring clean this morning...switching off and disconnect the system. On reconnection, the left chanel seems to be dead. If I turn the balance towards the dead chanel and increase the volume, you can hear music, but faintly.Incidently, when I...

Hi folks.I had been planning to complete my system with the addition of a Prefix K phono stage (to replace the K boards in the 52) but lately I have been wondering whether it's really worth it.What benefits over K boards in a 52 will a Prefix actually...

Hello,I need to free up the top shelf of my stand, so am looking to get a separate stand for my turntable. I have a Rega Planar 25, but the rega wall shelf will not work (problem with the wall not the shelf). It appears that some people use what looks...

Can anyone else recall those special hi-fi moments when you thought what equipment you owned was the dogs bollocks and nothing could ever better it. I'm inspired to write because one of those moments has just hit me again.1966 - HMV record player with...

Hello to allI have made several posts about putting my old system back together centered around my old ProAc SuperTablettes and a recently purchased Nait5 and a CD5. Vinyl replay was to be handled by a Rega P3 and associated cartridge.The performance...

I see that I can buy both for around the same price, i.e. between about £1k to £1.3k.Clearly the 82 would need to be second hand.Assuming I were to use both with a hicap, any thoughts about the kind of differences I should expect between...

Quick question - can anyone confirm that a Denon DL110 high output MC cart will work with 322/5 MM boards in a NAC62? I've found a reference to the fact that it 'should' but wondered if anyone has/had actually run this combination.If so any views on...

I have just read a rather disturbing piece about Plasma tv's causing a lot of RFI which can cause substantial interference with audio.. I have a new plasma arriving in a few weeks, and I was today about to install it's seperate mains spur from the...
