Rockingdoc is not a fool for not knowing what a speaker sounds like when out of phase. Many others have made this error. Its very easy to hear on a speaker with only one set of connections. The bass sounds thin and the mid and treble sound,... ...well...

Some of this may have been answered elesewhere but I couldn't find it.1. When the manual talks of 5 weeks burn-in process, is that 5 weeks of 24-7 continual playing or 5 weeks with just a few hours a day playing.2. Why is Naim equipment more affected...

Just bought a pair of HD650's to replace my well loved and cherished HD600's following the review in Hi-Fi World. I must say I was a little sceptical as to whether it would be worth the upgrade (£250), however I have to say that the difference...

I have a planar 3/rb300/Denon DL110. I can't afford an LP12. Is there any quick, easy, and most importantly, CHEAP, way one can fatten or enrich the sound of a planar 3. I know that compared to an LP12, some feel it is rather thin sounding. Any cheap...

What if I have to let my Arcs go? - any advice on alternatives, bearing in mind I like the Arcs, have a small room and not much money (in fact I'd only be able to use what I recouped from the sale of the Arcs ) - are the starters still available?I...

OK here goes - whilst at the Manchester Hi-Fi show I was chatting to a guy who was 'really' advocating using Nordost Blue Heaven interconnects between Naim CDs and pre-amps and the same Nordost speaker cable. Have any of you tried this combination...

Does anyone know if there will be any cables shipped with the new NAPSC2 - or will I have to buy a SNAIC/SLIC in addition?/PM
JRHardeePosted: 02 February 2004Last Updated: 14 February 2004
I just replaced my NAPSC with an NAPSC2, and I can barely hear the difference. (Yeah, someone's going to make a snarky comment about ear wax or middle-aged deafness. Don't bother, thanks.)My question is this--is there any reason to think that the...

Is it possible to use a Supercap with a 202? The manual suggests it's not possible but I was wondering if there was some way round this.
