Hi-Fi Corner

Hi people,Im looking to upgrade my system piece by piece (currently running a budget sony CD / Denon Amp / Mission set up).I recently auditioned the Nait 5, CD5 and Pro Ac speakers and was blown away, Naim is the sound I have been looking for all this...

OK - now I've got some ideas with regard to Arc positioning (I've written to mana as well) can anyone tell me how to stop the speakers interfering with the TV picture without moving either - is it possible to shield the TV?Thanks.

I happened to be looking through the Naim site as I'm contemplating a Fraim for my support. In the Fraim section, when one enlarges the picture there seems to be a CD storage case.Does anyone know what it is? or what the cost is?Jerry

I've just bought a NAP180 on eBay. The only problem is that it's in Scotland and I'm in London.Has anyone had any experience in sending components like this by Royal Mail? Perhaps a courier would be safer, can anyone recommend a service that...

Further to my questions yesterday with regard to black SNAICS, I have been listening (or trying to) to my system for three days (after a ten month lay off) and despite several hours of shifting the speakers around my fairly small room (approx 14 by 10...

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I have just bought a silver bumpered NAC62 which has 323/2 K MC cards installed. I can't use it yet as I have still to get a power amp, probably a NAP140. My question is, will the K boards be suitable for my AT OC5...

Does it come with the pre. or power amp?

A couple months back I decided to go hit the hi-fi shops again to start comparing speakers. I’d been using Vienna Acoustics Bachs for just under three years, and while they are great speakers for the money, they have short-comings. These became...

It's time for another upgrade, but here's the dilemma, do I add a Flatcap 2 or another Nap 150 to my system (which can be found in my profile). Has anyone heard the difference? Admittedly, running a Naim system without a Cap is probably foolhardy, so...

i have a 92 pre & 90/3 - is there a gizmo that will allow me to use two sets of speakers with this amp -

I'm soon to re-enter the fray with a Naimed LP12 / Dynavector XV1 and headphone system ... I used to have a headlne / hicap (running HD600) but sold about a year ago.... interesting in whether anyone has heard the influence of the new case design on...

Ive just done a very unserious test between my 250 (-98) and a new (but burned in) 250. Still, the result surprised my so much that I have to report it, but take it for what it is. My 250 has been on for many months, the new 250 was put into my system...

For our next newsletter we would like to feature a few real-life all-Naim systems. We are looking for volunteers to step forward, the only requirements being that the system is all-Naim (cassette decks, CDR machines etc.. notwithstanding) and that you...

After 10 months I finally set my system up (CDI, 82 (2 Hi caps) 250 and Arcs - after a polarity error (DOH! ) - I'm up and running. I know it'll be a day or three before I can accurately assess how it sounds in its new room and start playing around...

I recently started getting a loud, intermittent buzzing sound through my speakers. I then noticed that I got static through my TV and kitchen radio whenever the speakers were acting up. The dealer suggested shielding my TT wires with Al foil, which...

Hello!I'm currently using a CD3, NAC 72 w/ Snaps (dual rail), NAP 140 and Credo Speakers.My dilemma is what CD player to buy or maybe not to buy at all. Honestly, I'm quite happy with my system but I guess due to upgraditis I'm thinking now of...

As much as I have tried to "upgrade" my parents to the CD format, I have failed. So for xmas I bought them an older Onkyo cassette deck that can be controlled by the Onkyo receiver. Although the eBay seller insists that it still sounds good, what...

Hello,I've heard the intro mkIIs quite a lot at my local Naim dealer and they always sound absolutely stunning - really open, very full balanced sound and not thin like all other speakers seem to me. However I've just bought a second hand pair of the...

Got out a 12" double white label pack the other day (first record I choose for listening) and both discs were warped the same way and I cant figure out how it happened? When I bought them they played fine and were not warped. The are stored uprightish...

HiMy SBL's are 14 year's old now, and, except on simple stuff, sound rough (though this may not be down to them). This occurs on both LP (LP12/Ekos 1/Akiva/Lingo 2) and CD (CDX). If we assume that there is a problem with speakers, then I have the...

HiI've just bought a second-hand 52, which came with NA526/1 boards on the BNC connector, from tomtom audio. James swapped these for the K boards in my 82. As an experiment, I've just removed the K boards. The improvement is only marginal. Should I...

Simple question for the techies amongst you.My CD3.5 has a straight through (?) mains cable.Would I benefit from snipping that off near the unit, fitting a new female (kettle type) socket and then plugging in a new mains cable?Or can I save myself the...
