Hi-Fi Corner
I can understand (or at least think I can) the physics that produces horizontal soundstage width beyond the bounds of the speakers being simply an artifact of the interplay of volume and phase. I can also understand that soundstage depth is an...
Hi!Has anyone tried Dynaudio pro monitors BM6.They have the same drivers as a contour 1.3 (esotec tweeter and 7" woofer).Are pro monitors really different from domestic units?
Hi All,I have just joined the forum and thought I would introduce myself.I am on the verge of returning to some ‘real’ hi-fi after an absence of some 25 years!Back then I had a pair of Tannoy 15” monitor golds, some NAD amplification...
My search for a new amp is well and truly on, and I'm trying to find the right sound for me. I've been very impressed with my recapped chrome-bumper Nait-2 and it really does deliver in most areas, but I couldn't live with it permanently as eventually...
It seems many folks are switching from Mana to Fraim. What are the major differences ( if any ) between them? Can someone describe Mana Effect vs. Fraim Effect?
Does anyone have any opinions on how a NAC92/NAP90 combination stands up against a NAC72/NAP140?
Yesterday I heard a NAP 500 injected into a CDS2/52/SBL's where a humble 250 had been.First impressions were its amazing scale, particularly a big, big fat bottom end that I had never heard anything like from SBL's, even in active mode.Then it hit me...
Hi,as far as i have read, everyone here seems to think very highly of the Tom Evans phono. However I have 2 friends who didnt like it that much, saying that while it sounded clean, it was boring and clinical. One of them is using an full Spec Linn...

Can anyone offer the best wrench to buy at Home Depot?What are the torque settings for the Drivers in the DBLS?Has anyone put on paper "how to" optimize the suspension for the tweeters?Thank you,Marc
Further to my question on tuners - I've just made a bid for a Creek T40 tuner - do people think it will be a good match for my 82 (Hi caps), 250 and Arcs?Any input most appreciated.
After months of saving up and postings on this forum asking advice, I finally called in at my local dealers on Tuesday, and booked an audition for next wednesday. I am going to listen to a CD5, and maybe a CD5i, and also some speakers. The Speakers my...
Hi, Moving house on Friday, & am looking to get a sparky to install at least a separate spur for the system, or possibly a separate consumer unit for each box -depending on cost... Can anyone recommend a good electrician that is 'up on' the electircal supply side of Hi-fi & not too expensive, in the Brighton area?
Hello all,I have a Nait 5 and I have "decided" to go for a poweramp. I can buy a new NAP 150 or find myself a second hand NAP 140. The last will be cheaper. But how will it sound?Greetings, Hans
Can anyone point out the cheapest place to purchase SNAICS please. I suppose I'd prefer a black one but I'm not too fussy. Also second hand is great.I need one for my NAC72-HICAP.Thanks
Guys,Only a very few pictures load for me. Most are represented by a circle with a diagonal red stripe. Any ideas?cheersroman
I have a wrench that will work on any of the Naim speakers that have 4mm alan screws. I completed my torqueing about a month or so ago. Had very good results. I have passed it on to a fellow forum member who, I believe has also completed his...
Anyone on the forum have any views on the latest incarnation of Rega's top player?On my travels I've encountered varying opinions.."Hardly worth the extra coin over a Planet""Makes the Planet sound like a toy CD player""If you're spending that sort of...
OK so we've had the preamp order but this one is more complex. Let's assume we have a pair of NBL's at the tail and a CDS3 552 at the front end (my dream for a few years time)What's the right order in betweenPoorest Olive 140Best 3 x 500I sit in the...
Sorry for the bad pun. Any fellow Seattlites had any experience with putting in a dedicated spur and have an electrician they can recommend? I'm in a 1907 Capitol Hill House with the typical mix of knob and tube and updated bits.Thanks,Bruce
Any advice on selling a used 42.5? I know about ebay and audiogon.Robert
Wondered whether any forum members have used the Classik in its ideal mode as a compact second room system, adn what thoughts were on the comparisons with similarly priced one-box solutions (e.g. Denon) and multi-box (e.g. NAD, old Naim) at the same...
Finally getting my system together and was wondering what input you guys can give me on interconnects between my cd and pre-amp.Set up will very soon be CD5(hi-capped), NAC202(hicapped and Napsc) and NAP200. Now I know the Naim interconnects from the...
