Hi-Fi Corner
I'm sure this has been posted millions of times here, but the search engine being what it is, I can't seem to 'zoom in' on the thread I want.So, I have a late eighties (1988 I think from memory) 250, which is currently at Naim for a full service and...
AllHaving taken delivery of my new (2nd hand) SBLs about 2 weeks ago, I finally got round to setting them up properly on the weekend.I had initially plonked them in my room as they were without having redone the seal, as this appeared to be intact...
I have a HiCap on the way. The goal is power a Stageline. My system is 112/150/FC2/CD5. Currently I have the FC2 powering the 112/CD5. My objective is to get the best sound from my TT (LP12/Ittok/Cirkus).My questions:1. Should I power the Stageline...
My first foray into "serious" hi-fi was that Amstrad receiver, long and thin with more buttons than you could shake a stick at! Added to this was their three prong record deck and the cassette deck & speakers. Seem to remember the chain Laskeys came into the equation somewhere. This both dates me (and you if you know what I'm on about!) and is a humbling memory considering the all Naim system I now enjoy. But hey! we all had to start somewhere! Any of you with similar memories/experiences? pcm
I just bought a CD recorder and was curious if I could use my 52's Supercap to power my prefix and feed the signal from the Supercap to the CD burner directly. In this arrangement my 52 wouldn't be powered. If this is possible then my recording...
Like many Naim owners, I guess, I currently use NACA5 and have found it more than satisfactory over many years/upgrades.I have heard good things reported about Chord Odyssey with Naim amps. I would welcome views/comments from any that have tried it. I...
I'm hoping to buy a NAC102/NAP180 in the near future; however, while I save money to buy a CDX I'd like to use this with a non-Naim CD source. I assume that the 102 does not have RCA inputs so the question is how do I connect the CD player? I guess an...
I'm just moving my system and it's all got to go on one rack.Which should go furthest away from my source and pre - hicaps or power amp? And why (just so I can learns something!!)
Hi,I am currently looking at new speakers that can go with my system (CDS2/52/135s on Fraim), in replacement of my LS3/5A.I have a rather small listening room (about 3mx4m), and I do like mini-monitors. I am looking for something like "super LS3/5A"...
Hi,Just putting me Mana back together (5 shelf amp rack on soundbase)later and need to know which order the kit goes in for best:Top to bottom:Linn TT (obviously!)CXD2?102 pre?hi-cap/Napsc?180.I can use the base if need be but would think better off...
That's the tread to make comments on Pure Picture.Let's go guys.EmmanuelAll opinions are my own, and reflect those of the organisation i work for, even if not stipulated.
Has any one had experience of a NAC 52 pre amp louder on one channel than the other ?The one I have appears to pull the sterio image across to one side. To correct this the balance control has to be set at about 10 oclock (rather than 12 oclock)....
I have an old NAT 01 chrome bumper tuner. I would like to know how often I need to recap it, if at all.Also, can I use fuses purchased at Radio Shack to replace the one originally supplied, or do I need to get one from NANA? I don't see why one from...
Sorry about this perhaps ridiculous question folks, but sometimesI read the term 'PRAT' in this forum and I can't find it in my dictionary. Can anyone explain/describe it to me.Thanks in advance ...Hannes
I've made an advance in the acoustic functionality of my granite stand. Simple but very effective and somewhat labor intensive at least for 6 hours or so.The upgrade for the granite stand is as follows.At present the granite shelves are supported by...
Hi all,A few weeks ago I finally chose a Nait3 to replace my silly tube amp, and this has proven to be the choice of the year - I'm just delighted like a little kid with my new toy.Now I've come across a dirt cheap Hicap so I didn't hesitate, I...
Can anyone confirm if this is normal please?I am intermitently loosing audio channels (usual front left or front right) ON MY av2. Also when I "mute" some channels stay live for several seconds (usually left sUrround and right surround) and sometimes...
Don't we just love cartridge set-up?Recently I had to move my Gryodec/rega/DV17d2 about and when I came to use it I noticed quite a bit of distortion on the right channel particularly with loud voices and saxes, which I hadn't heard before. Admittedly...
Now we know a lot about merits of the new 250, 300 “an und für sich”. What about mixing any of the above mentioned one into an all-olive system, say CDS1/52/Scap/???/SBL? No drawback of this mixed marriage? I wonder.graphoman
Hi,I need a good quality extension block for my system. The Musicworks 6-way block seems to get a lot of praise here on this forum and gets a superb review from Hi-fi+ magazine but despite this I don't seem to be able to find any online shops selling...
My 2 previous attempts to get info on your Linn having failed, I thought I'd go direct.Very impressed by the pics of the LP12/RB1000, but wondered what decided you in favour of this combo over the more obvious LP12/Ekos or LP12/Aro/Geddon.Unless...
Dev B,Please have a look at your Private Topics.Thanks.Adolfo Aguiar
Household detritus inevitably accumulates in the disc tray.If you haven't cleaned yours in a while; play something well known, clean the tray and play it again.I find the best way is to use blu-tack. Either drag an edge of it across the tray or dab...

What does one ask their electrician to install as far as mains go?Is it a "20 amp dedicated line"? I just want one outlet done for audio, as that's where it gets plugged in exclusively.So I just need to ask for this outlet upgraded or do I need some...
