When I first got into hifi I thought that mordaunt short speakers were the only one worth having (untill I discovered that Epos were kind of related) and the performance range was always my dream speaker, although I still to this day haven't had the...

I may have a bob or two to spend in the coming weeks. I’m thinking that replacing my CD5/FC2 with a CDX2 would be a first step. Should I add the XPS2 or replace the 202 with a 282? I know it’s my choice, but it’s just not that convenient to hear all...

HiI'm tempted to buy a NAT 05 tuner as my next purchase but with everything quickly going the way of digital I'm concerned that it won't be too long before analouge transmissions cease. So does anybody have any idea how long it will be before this...

Hi folks.I checked the s/n of my olive Hicap last night to discover it's actually 2011xx, which is a bit odd. I thought that the olive kit was effectively discontinued in 2002, around 185xxx? I bought the hicap from a dealer who told me it was a...

I've been offered an old 250 (s/n 15xx). It's a screw together chrome bumper case but in mint looking condition. As far as I know it hasn't been back to Naim for a service. Does anybody have a feel for how much it should be worth?thanks,Nick
solid statePosted: 16 January 2004Last Updated: 17 January 2004
I could be way off base here , but did I read somewhere on this forum that Naim are able to offer casing upgrades , i.e to "convert" (at least cosmeticaly) olive stuff to the new black series ? or have I completely lost it?Regards to all

My current system is comprised on original Planet, Nait 5, naca5, Audio Physic Spark III. I may have a small amount of $ to spend, and was thinking of a used Flatcap 1 to match with my Nait. I am wondering a FC1 offers the same performance as a FC2....
