Sorry about repeating this well trodden thread, but I have to relate my expierence (well I dont have to but I will anyway )I have been contemplating upgrading my CD5+hi to a CDx for some time, but after reading many threads on this topic I have been...

I've just been reading about'Differential Speakers' on www.enoland.co.uk. This involves creating a'Pseudo Surround Sound'by wiring a 3rd speaker to both '+' output terminals on your amplifier.I've got a spare speaker kicking around but, for obvious...

Hi thereI wonder if anyone out there knows if I can power a 72 pre-amp from a 160 power amp. The 160 sounds as great as people say, truly very good but I am wondering if I can get away without using Hicap (I know that a Hicap will make a big...

Have a scan at this thread: http://www.zerogain.com/forum/...php?s=&threadid=2484 It's my summary of a dem I did yesterday of a mid to low priced SACD playerd against an Arcam 93 CD player. I intend to take a home dem on this SACD player, at which point I'll add further comments about how it performs against my CD5i.

I was talking to my local Naim dealer today about some possible changes in the future. Right now I'm running fc/cd5/hi/92/90.3 and happy overall, but sometimes thinking I could get a little more, particularly with regards to bass authority and, dare I...

Back in the mist of time, when I had 72/hicap/140, I had a pair of Tannoy DCs (sealed box)Although they had their fair share of colourations, I cannot forget their (IME unique) coherence, dynamics and "life"Wish I handn`t sold them now.......my...

Seriously, folks, I have noticed that if I turn up the wick a bit (not usually beyond 9-10 o'clock)then within a day or two my ears - not to put too fine a point on it - become de-waxed! This may happen after only a comparatively short listening...

Dear Folks,i'm in the market for my first dvd player.It should be better then my PC....Nevertheless, a few days ago i saw DVDs labeldwith "copy protected". Any ideas, whether allDVD-Players could play them? Or will there bethe same problem like the...

Sorry - couldn't find the recent thread along these lines. Also, there seems to be fair amount of traffic in Naim gear going to Denmark. I need to ship a Nait 3. Can anyone give me a recent price for this and any recommendations of carriers etc?Many ...

My three week old Mystiques are breaking in nicely and I'm interested in others experiences in getting the most out of these speakers.My first question: Is anyone using stands with success? I had mine on marble slabs and the sound was on the bright...

Don't know much about SACD, so my ? is, can my CDX play SACD's as good as CD's?Frank

Dear allthere is (or used to be a couple of years ago) a company making fully wooden supports (glued, no metal anywhere) which some of you recommended in the mana/quadraspire etc. debate (fraim is another game level of course!). In its ads the...

Does anybody have any experience of selling things on either ebay or loot. What are the pros and cons of each?I have a 72 and 140 to shift now that a 250 is entering my life!Nick

Hi Naimees,I have been happy with my current system for quite some time now. Currently I have a CD2, nac82, HiCap, nap180 and Monitor Audio Studio 20 SEC's. Last weekend I bought some marble stones for under my speakers and I really like what I am...

Linns original Kan is (was) a good speaker, allthough not to everyones taste. I must confess to not being in the market for a pair of Kans at the moment but I would like to think I was at least partially aware of their current value ie £150-200?? ...

Hi folks.I want to relocate a 250 into a cupboard as late at night its transformer has a tendency to buzz like an angry swarm of bees, and I can't find the culprit (it's on a dedicated spur on a dedicated CU, and our mains is generally good...

Hi Everyone,I have finally received and installed a PS Audio P 500 regenerator in my system. This is a relatively new component in the range from PS Audio. There have been comments in the past regarding the P300 that it has replaced. The new unit has...

I have a Yamaha E800 AV amp for centre (an old Yamaha centre spkr soon to be replaced) and Epos14s as rears, 135s power the front L&R Briks. At present I have some 'bell wire' running to the Epos 14s (it was the only stuff I had to hand that was long enough). NACA5 is the natural partner for them of course, but as I can't get it under the floor I need something that will go under the carpet. So can anyone recommend some cable that: 1. Fits under the carpet 2. Is a good partner for the E800 &...

My listening room measures about 25 m2 (height: a little more than 2m). My system consists of CDX (aiming for CDS3), XPS, NAC252, NAP 250 (aiming for a 300) and a Proac Response 2.5. Though I'm expecting that above system (at least the one I'm aiming...

Can someone on the forum please explain to me whether there is a significant difference in sound quality between the NAT 01 and 101 tuners?Last week I bought a secondhand 101 tuner on the understanding that it was a 01 - only when I unpacked it at...

Well I just started connecting up my first Naim system; however, when I plugged the NACA5 into the amplifier I noticed that the cable tends to leave the amp vertically straight down. So I have to locate the amp so it sits right at the back of the...
