Hi-Fi Corner

Hi all, Long time no post. A request for small speakers reccomendations for a bedroom system composed of an Arcam Alpha 9 CD player and an old amp. Looking for something small that can actually be put on a bookshelf. Thinking of something not much...

Hello all,I use a Supercapped Prefix for my phono stage with the Naim supplied DIN to DIN interconnect into socket 2a on the 52Is having a DIN to BNC interconnect into input 1 supposed to be better, worse or is there no difference?Cheers, Julian

current system is rega p25 into 42.5 into nap 90 into credos.i am eventually hoping to end up with something like aro'd lp12 into 102 with hicap into nap 250.should i get the hi-cap before the 102?or am i casting pearls before swine by having the...

My local dealer (in Hi-Fi) has got some s/h 135's for sale.If I p/ex my 140 against 2x135's and plug them into my 32-5/HiCap what difference can I expect from the sound? Will I have to modify the 32-5? I'm not really interested in upgrading the 32-5...

I bought my DVD player some time ago - 2 or 3 years ago - STG 650. Recently there seem to be many new players at what seem amazing low prices - 50 quid for a component output, multi region player. Amazing. Could anyone give me a lowdown on what the...

I'm looking for a supplier of Allen headed cartridge bolts, or failing that the specification that I need so I can get them from a hardware store.ThanksPeter

Hi guys,I am about to take the rather big step into the world of Naim hi fi and have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 5i gear.It was good to hear Jormas rave review but the question i would like to put to everyone is.....Is the 5i series...

Did anyone else notice a massive difference in sound quality over the xmas break, because my system sounded really bad (subjectively) over the bank holidays and then weekend. I spoke to a friend after it who works in the local power station and he...

I am finally about to start on the long planned box upgrade path after much (9 years) delay.I was planning of starting off simply, by adding a HICAP to my 72/140 combo (Plan A). However it has been suggested that since I ultimately intend to end up...

Any comments pro or con or information on this speaker would be appreciated.Thanks#5

Just a couple things I had to get off my chest here:Just bought a CDX2 from The Studio in North London to replace my CD5. CD5 is still much loved but the resolving power of the CDX2 is remarkable. Many thanks to Peter at The Studio for all his...

Hi,I'm finally going to own a Naim system after many years of wanton envy. System will be 72/140 with CD3.5. My old speakers are Celestion Ditton 44's which I will look at changing latter in the year.Would it be good to invest in a flatcap or hicap...

anyone compare this player to other cd players of similar price?

Can I connect a stageline with a flatcap2 to a non-naim amp?I cannot find the info in the manual.Theo

Here's some interesting findings from those high-end guys at TAG.ABX Listening Test. Can you trust your senses?

I have Isobarik, and was thinking about to buy me a another amp 180, later I can go for the second 180.And then active with 135, plus180.My system so far is this Linn LP12, Linn Ekos, Adikt, Lingo.naim cd3, naim62, naim32-5, nat101+snaps, Hi-cap, 135,...

Just wondered if this has been covered. I'll shortly have around £4000 to spend on a preamp inc. PSU (£2800 from other kit I've sold and £1200 from a future agreed sale of my 82) and I'm looking seriously at a 52/SC of very late...

Happy New Year to you all!Current sistem CD5, 112, 150, FC2, Intro2. Not too happy with the bass on the sistem which may stem largely from the Intro2. Living in the middle east so not many speaker choices. Have tried placment of speakers all around...

I use a NAD 4225 tuner, i listen to a lot of radio Radio 1/2/3/4/5live etcIs the naim range of tuners significantly better (aerials obviously important), i do not like the styling of the NAT03 but have been offered one, i am unsure whether the outlay...

Running an AV2 in my home theater. Since installing it (about 3 weeks ago?), I've noticed that it seems sensitive to static. Walking around the room, I get the occasional discharge against the sofa or what-not, and there's a pop/click from the...

Anybody know if there are any design differences between the two? Thought the 52K card (with no other source connected) would sound better than a hicapped prefixK because it is powered by a supercap. Any thoughts?david

MuchachosTis the season to spend lolly, tra la la la laaa etc.What is the next piece of kit on your upgrade horizon?I have just ordered a Lingo 2 to replace the Lingo 1; next item desired is a 52 to replace my 82RegardsMikeOn the Yellow Brick Road and...

HiI have read many forums on this subject and still seeking some advice. Sure, ultimately I must make a decision on what type of PSu. I have CD5/112/150/ driving Credo speakers. They sound good- somewhat crisp and clean sound but not enough bass. More...

HelloI am interested in a pair of used Confidence 3 speakers. Anyone here have experience with them on Naim. Are they similar to the Special 25's on sound ans presentation.Paul

Hi folks.Happy new year to all. It looks like I've sold the last few remaining items that pave the way to a 52/SC (to replace the stand-in 82/HC I bought recently), but before I start looking about in earnest, just how much better is the 52/SC going...
