hi!my old friend since 8 year, arcam alpha 5 took it´s last breath recently. Because of a limited budget, the only naim cd within reach for me, is the new cd5i. I´d really liked the arcam tho, and the q is how the cd5i performs against a...

Has anyone ever used a Naim amp with Aerial Acoustics 10t? If so which amp?

I notice the local Audio T are selling off the Dynaudio Contour spkrs (though the new ones don't look a lot different) - e.g. the 1.3 for 950ish and the 1.1 for 575 ish. Thinking of getting some 1.1s in birds' eye maple & wondered if anyone had personal experience of them. [This message was edited by Chris Metcalfe on TUESDAY 23 December 2003 at 15:08.]

Hi all,Sorry to post this as I'm sure its been asked before, but the search criteria just kept bunging out the old "too many blah blah blah"So, how good is the 92R compared with lets say, the 72/102/112 etc (or even the 32-5, 62 etc)Not sure how this...

What should I buy if I could afford to upgrade my Isobariks? Sadly there’s not a chance of it happening in the foreseeable future but it would be nice to get some suggestions.

I'm sure this has been covered a million times but I will still ask the question:Which components need to be separated? I assume CDPs and preamps live together and power amps, power supplies etc camp somewhere else.What about pre-pre-amps like a...

Frank-When you talk about the Dynaudios being between 5 and 6 feet apart, how is this measured? Is it measured between the tweeters or between the inner edges of the speakers?Thanks in advance?Jay

I have some Maggie 0.6QR speakers in my home cinema (AV2/Nap175) system, currently being powered by a MF A3.2 amp. I'd like to go "all Naim", but since the MF is relatively new and I won't get top $ for it, I don't want to break the bank.Will a NAP150...

Is anybody else having this problem: I initiate about two commands from my Nait 5 remote every day. Ussually i can't find it or I just prefer to get up. Still, the batteries in my remote drain almost monthly. This does not seem normal to me. My TV...

Unfortunately since AOL updated their mail servers recently we at Naim have not been able to reply to any mails from AOL members as they just get bounced back to us as undeliverable. We have notified the relevant parties and hope that the situation is...

Hi folks,Well, today was a remarkeble day.I knew my Naim-dealer had a 72/140 for sale.So,...today I rented a car and on this sunny afternoon I went to my naim-dealer.I told him about the topics on this users-forum,and about my curiosity regarding the...

Hi All,My current system consists of 252/Supercap2/250/CDX2. I have been trying to look for a pair of good matching speakers. I have shortlisted down to ProAc D25 (replacement for ProAc 2.5) and Neat MFS. I have not heard both of these speakers as my...

Can you guys give me your views on the benefits of a 202 over a 112 ?ThanksGraham.Be kind, what goes round comes round.

As I've detailed in my other thread, my 250 blew up last night. What to do? I need - Need - music. How about drop my Nait 5 into the main system? That's what I did, but I opted to use just the amp section, using my 202/FC2/NAPSC2 combo as the front...

Hi, thanks for all the help I've had here so far, especially concerning my Kan setup.Now I have a problem with my cd 3,5. When I play piano music it wil make distortion even at low volumes. Its actually only when the piano goes loud, recorded loud...

Hello all,I now find that I need the schematic of a 32.5. Does anyone have such? Or does anyone know where one can find such?Thanks, Seamus

I have just looked inside my high cap 2. I notice that the signal connecting wires on the rear of the DIN sockets are totally unscreened. How come they don’t pickup hum from the transformer?Is a flat cap the same ?Graham.Be kind, what goes round...

I have just heard the new CD5i and Nait5i.The CD5i is a cracking machine for the money. Doesn't have the Punch or scale of the CD5 but otherwise has the trademark PRAT we all love.Nait5i is a stormer, better sonically than the Nait5 but not as...

Hi ,I'm thinking of getting a headphone set-up and am wondering if my turntable with on-board phono boards in my nait3 can produce a signal for a headphone amp?I'll have two sources (cd and tt). If i just plug a headphone amp into the tape out on my...

Has anyone tried Neuance shelves on top of (or replacing standard shelf) a standard QS rack? Is it best to try it under the CD player or amps?
