Hi there,I've just upgraded from a NAC102/NAP250 to a NAC82/2xNAP135s. The improvement is huge and I am extremely happy. I was just wondering if there is much improvement to be gained by adding an additional Hicap - does it provide good value for...

I recently asked for comments regarding an NAC 52 right channel louder than the left resulting in the balance control needing to be set at 10.00 oclock.I have found that by slackening off the CD interconnect locking ring (at both ends) the NAC...

ChapsI currently have the prefix in my Garrard connected straight into the 52.I am in experimental mood and would like to try connecting the prefix into a Hicap and then into the 52.Does anyone know what goes where.RegardsMick

I could get an old Troika for almost no money wich is really in need of a rebuild...On this forum, people said that a rebuild by Expert or Scantech is quite cheap and recommendable.My question: Expert Stylus or Scantech?JunP.S.: Is there a big...

Hi there,I've recently bought an 82 and found that the volume control was a bit on the sensitive side making it extremely hard to get a quiet listening volume. I was told that there was a adjustable pot inside which could change the sensitivity, so...

I am now the very proud owner of a CD5. What a fantastic sounding player. Its replaced my old Micromega stage 1, and the difference is mind blowing. Smoother, much more detailed, and plays tunes like I never heard before.The CD5 was an ex-dem model,...

Hi folks.To complete my move to the Naim system, I need to add at least one HiCap to my 82/250. The dealer I'm buying the 82/250 from has a 2000-era olive HiCap which is £495, which I am very tempted by (but have stalled on until I have a think...

Hi folks.I've a little question about the wiring of DIN plugs. I'm moving from a DNM amp system to a Naim one, and of course the DNM also uses DIN plugs. Where things are different is that the DNM has a seperate earth for both left and right. So,...

Has anyone ever wished for a forum-type section on the Naim website for Naim product (specific, by category and model) reviews, comments and experiences? Seems to me we would all enjoy that type of "tool", and it would be a great place to learn...

I have an offer to make the journey state side of the Atlantic and can't contemplate leaving the UK without my Naim. I have heard that a simple mod can be made to the power supplies to enable me to use the 110V coming out of an American socket. As I...

Has anyone heard a 52 pre amp with an entry level Naim cd player?I,m interested in peoples opinions of how this combination sounds compared to using a pre amp lower down in the Naim range eg: 92,72,102

My 32-5/140/HiCap is now powering my pair of much modified Monitor Audio 352's (extra driver and revised X-over). Very clean and tight sound but still not much bass! I know the speakers will deliver as I've recently run an Audio Research D130 thru...

Is there anyone else out there who thinks that the Mordaunt short MS10is are simply amazing speakers considering how much they cost new. I I have a pair that I use in a second system, which I sometimes stick on the end of my nait5 and am always amazed...

Hi there,I'm thinking about getting a new CD5i, but of course would like to listen to it first. Does anyone know if there is now demo stock in the Naim dealer network ? Also, if I were to order one, are they shipping at present ? ie. what is the first...

Whats the easiest way of connecting a pair of headphones to a turntable, do I need a full blown amplifier or is there an easier way?RegardsNB

My system consists of : - LP12 on Mana Reference - CDX, NAC72, HiCap, NAP250 on Fraim base + 3levelsThe resolution (access to music nuances) of the LP12 is higher on Mana than on top of the Fraim stack.The question is : can I improve my Fraim setup...

I'm steadily building myself (and my wallet) up for the loss of my complete system for a little while in the New Year. The Hi Caps and 250s are all getting on for 10 yrs old, the NAXO needs tweaking as it is is still set up for SBLs not the kans I use...

My CD 3.5 was doing the old "ERR" stop trick for a while. It was inconsistent, sometimes better, sometimes worse.Being without funds to send it in for a laser replacement I've kept using it. Oddly enough, it seems to be less frequent.Has anyone else...

I recently moved and am stumped with a humm/buzzing sound in my system. It is most noticable when I mute my 52 but I need to put my ear within 3 inches to detect the sound. I never had this issue with my prior home. I have disconnected all sources and...

Does anyone have any experience of these speakers in the Naim context?Steve

Hello,what could I do with my DBL Passive Crossovers.I tried to sell them by Ebay - and did not get any bids.Now I am thinking to use them to build a loudspeaker on my own usingHigh frequency: From Linn Index LoudspeakersMid range: Older Chassis from...

Does anyone has a chance to hear the new ProAc D25? Any difference comparing to the Response 2.5?Alan

I am interested in knowing about the changesmade from a nait 5 to a 5i. Don't seem tosee anything other than a power increasefrom 30w to 50w...how was this achieved,how do the 2 units differ, and most important,sonically, what has been gained...what...
