I took my LP12 in for servicing today and realized after talking to the technician that he doens't really have any understanding or appreciation for the Naim ARO. I think he thinks the ARO is a piece of s**t. I guess in comparison to the Linn arms it...

Hi, im hoping someone in the know can advise me? Im a very happy owner of a CDX 2 and would love to add the separate power supply. Ive seen that i can get a second hand XPS for around £1200 vs an ex dem XPS2 for £1900. The question is what is the...

Hey Seattle Brothers,Did anybody go over to Hawthorne this weekend to check out Chris Koster's demos? I would have gone but live 2000 miles away...Interested in hearing your thoughts...Markus----------

I'm trying to decide between a CD3 and CD3.5.It seems that many prefer the sound of the CD3 to that of the CD3.5 but I'm also wondering about the differences between a CD3 and CD3.5 with Flat-Cap. Does the addition of a Flat-Cap tip the scales in...

Greetings. Just thought I'd post something regarding a fascinating and enjoyable demo session I did yesterday. I demo'ed: (a) CD5; (b) CD5 + Flatcap2; (c) CD5 + Hi-Cap2; and (d) CDX2. While the results of the demo may be predictable to many, it was...

HiHave read a lot of posts about CD5/CD5i and CDX2 I think there is room for a new CD player.With the CD5i comming on the scene the CD5 sould be upgraded to a new player costing £1500-£1600 so there is not such a big jump in performance or...

Does anyone have the email/phone number for Shahinian, or their UK agents - thanks.Time to go straight to the horses mouth so to speak....

I have a CD3.5/FC/32.5/HiCap/135's/SBL's. Classic mullet.I was getting to think after reading Naimed-in-NY's thread, that replacing the Flatcap with a HiCap for the CD3.5 might be very worthwhile. I would only consider it if I could use the HiCap...

Stick with the story, mates, follow my instructions and just see if you don't get approval for whatever upgrade you're after...No kidding. And my wife agrees, though for me it's too late...Not long ago, swmbo, purchased a couple of classical music...

Greetings,My current kit: CDX2/282/HiCap2/250 driving Dynaudio Special 25s.What will the impact be of an XPS or XPS2? Can the Olive XPS work well with my (new) CDX2?I'd really like to get an XPS2 but funds may only allow for an XPS.Thanks,Ian

Hi Guys !I have decided to buy Fraim for my system. To begin, a base level and two "normal" levels.Decision based on looks and the overwhelming positive views on it's sound quality.Can anyone share any "tricks of the trade" or their experiences to...

Hello to allI have just entered the Naim world - my system will be installed this week: Nait 5(chosen over the 5i)-CD5-Stageline and a Rega P3. Any suggestions for a stand? Nothing to crazy price wise and readily available in the States. My dealer...

I had the CDX2 sitting on top of the XPS2 and it sounded fantastic then I saw that the instructions said that the CDX2 should not be placed directly on top of another item of Naim kit. Any suggestions? I’ve tried putting coins under the feet and it...

Hi,Anybody running this combo or heard it?After reading Stereofools review of these speakers I found a dealer local and went to listen. They were being powered by a Parasound home theater amp and processor but I played a few of me CD's and...OH MY...

Is the power supply supplied with the P-75 in the UK/US just a bog standard wall wart type affair? I have found a good deal on one from overseas,but it's not available with the UK type P/S. Regards, Paul.

Anyone using a Nait 5 as pre amplifier?How it perfoms?Or is better to trade my Nait for a 112?MY system : Naim Nait 5 amplifier,Naim cd 5 ,Epos M 15 speakers,Naca5,FC2

Could anyone tell me if there is any difference between the 2 Naim 5 to 5 snaic leads I have, as one is labelled NA86 the other NA03. thanks

Hello:Just wondering if Naim preamps invert the signal? In other words, do I need to reverse the speaker cable connections, if I use a Naim preamp with a non-Naim amplifier?Thanks for any input.Jerry

Ok, yesterday I put Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler(250$ in USA)instead of Naim supplied cord on my Supercapped Prefix and ...BIG improvement. The first thing I noticed was absolutely black background(not that before it was white), better...

Just found out, via this forum, that you can connect an SCap to a 102. I hadn't realised that and neither had my dealer! Re-reading of the manual confirms (although it doesn't say how its connected - but in a thread a year ago Tuan provided that...

Ive borrowed the P75 from my dealer for a few days,and having connected it to my 102 through the cd input with chord chrysalis interconnect I prefer the sound of the standard phono card in my 102.I can get a cable made with the same wiring as my...

At the history of naim products I can't find the CDI, why?Arye

To this system: Nap 135, Nac 52, CDX, XPS and SuperCap, what would be the best Neat speaker? The speaker position has to be as close to wall as possible and my living room is 4,55 X 3,75m.FE
