Just about to place an order with my dealer for a new Nap 250 (replacing my ageing 140)to partner my flatcapped/Napsc'd 202 when a thought struck me .Would I be better of going for a pair of older olive 135's as opposed to the new 250?My understandimg...

Please be kind !Having moved into our new home, SWBMO is not very impressed with my speaker cables draped across our fireplace....... I wonder why ?Having just spent over £1200 on a new Fraim, she made the "subtle" comment about the speaker...

Hi all,I'm going to replace my beloved NAIT2 by a NAC102 / NAP150. The reason for choosing NAP150 instead of the NAP180 is the plan going activewith at least ( CD5/102 )/FC2/NAPSC/SNAXO/150's/INTRO2s (ugraded to CREDOs)and NAP180s are really hard to...

We read a lot of questions here and other posts about peoples experiences (and satisfaction) with upgrades here. This seems natural and healthy.But I'm curious. Who here has a system or component with the greatest longevity? First consideration is for...

What does this mean (Hi Fi wise)?

Have just further abused my already distresed credit card and ordered a new Nap 250 to replace my ageing 140 WITHOUT TELLING SHMBO - im done for!!How can i break the news , or should i keep it secret and hope she wont notice ?!!You guys out there must...

Hello all,I have been reading the forum now for about 6 months and have decided to write my first post.Living in OZ is very good but means I have a lack of getting hold of Second hand or demo gear(new gear is quite expensive due to our poor exchange...

Hi, have been offered a s/h NAC 82 to replace my 32.5 + H/Cap. Is this a better move than upgrading my old Woodside CD player for a CD5? Pretty much same money.Any thoughts would be appreciated.Best rdsTim

Greetings,Will a Flatcap 2 power a NAC 202? Can a Nait 5 be used as power amp in this configuration? Thanks for the help,Dan

I've been toying with the idea of buying a turntable, as everyone keeps telling me there so much better than cd.Anyway - factors such as less than a dozen records (circa 10+ yrs old), lack of a remote control, and the whole tweakiness thing make me...

Dumb question - which socket on a Flatcap 1 should be connected to the CD5??? I guess this'd be described in the manual for the Flatcap (for the CD3.5??) - but I guess the procedure would be the same?I hope they're both compatible anyway 'cos I've...

The usual tt for a Naim owner seems to be an LP12 and I guess this is because there is a certain amount of synergy between the Linn and Naim products.I'm looking at replacing my ageing Systemdek IIX/RB250 with something better.Is the Linn really the...

I spent a good couple of hours last night listening to vinyl on my trusty Thorens 160, RB300, Goldring set up, not an expensive combo I'm sure you'll agree, but sad to say despite not sounding as good as an LP12 say, it does, in most areas trounce my...

Hey all, I currently have a CDX>Nait5>HiCap system. I am thinking about upgrading and thought I would get a new preamp first. I am currently using a headline2 setup so I don't need my nait at all and will probably sell it to fund the upgrade. I...

Anyone checked out TomTomAudio recently? He's asking £565 for a 15 year old Hicap and £585 for 14 year old one. Just rang him and he doesn't know the service history of either. Anyone else think this is ridiculous?

Picked up the following comment on another discussion list today. "Of course, highly capacitive cable used with an unstable, amplifier - suchas a Naim NAP250 - and driving a difficult load will modify total systembehavior, but that's because one of...

Greetings,My system curently:CD5 Nait5Flatcap2Stageline NAT05Rega Planar 25I would like to upgrade to a 202/200. This will have to be done in phases. I have a chance to get a deal on a second hand 202. Should I go for it, using Nait as amp, or buy a...

DBL owners: how would you describe the sound from these boxes?My suggestion: BASS WITH GRACEpcm

They seem very Naimish in their views-- are they?Has any heard their particular brand of musical satisfaction?What'd you think? There are beautiful pictures of their gear on the soundstage website so i got curious.David

Hello,anybody compared the Rega Planet 2000 CD-Player against CD5 or the CD2.I am thinking bying one of this 4 CD-Players after selling my CD 3.Any advise would be helpfull.Thanks

Some time back there was a thread (started by Kuma) asking about the use of tube power amps with NAIM gear – some replies were rather encouraging for my problem.I’d like to expand on this “tubey thing” a bit further:My chain...

Hey, Due to a move I just had to sell my speakers and in my new place don't have any room for a new pair. I decided to get a headphone setup until I move and just recently got a headline2 with a hicap and grado rs1s. I am currently running the CDX...

I am now in the happy position of having some extra spends for mY system . My pre-amp is currently a new 202 , and whilst I appreCiate that a 200 power amp is its "natural" partner , I was wondering if I could succesfully pair a new style 250 with it...

So ok we all try not to touch the playing surface on cd's, but when this happens etc what useful tips can you give on cleaning? What do you use to clean cd's when required and why?Reason I ask is 'cos I've only ever used a lint free cloth, but am not...

i understand that selling on this site is a no no.can anyone tell me of any good sites on the net to advertise naim stuff where I can target naim users?
