Hi-Fi Corner

Hello again all, Could anyone let me have a copy/photocopy/.pdf etc of a CD3.5 manual of 1999 vintage? Naim unable to help at present, but I've just bought a used cd3.5 and am impatient to know how to use it!!Thanks in advance!Pete

Given a 202/200 (which I will soon have) combo what price range of speakers should I be looking at? I am utterly confused by two dealers who have suggested everything from £900 to £3000. Surely there can't be such a wide range - I can't possibly...

A new nap250, wow!!!"but f..."my one week old nap250 has burned the right side off. The problem is, there has bin a quite loud mains hum coming from the power supplie inside the nap250. Quite loud when the room is quiet. Why???? My olive nap180 was...

Yesterday I was been in Ljubljana on show.Here are the results with some pics.Naim CDX/XPS/202/Napsc/chrome Hi-Cap/200/"big" Spendor. I was highly dissapointed with the sound. Anemic, thin, celluloid bas. I don't know why is that sound so bad.

Hello folks. I have just got a used CD3.5 to go into my 32.5/snaps/160/kans. As it came with a DIN-DIN lead the only DIN port on the pre available is the tuner. This should be ok shouldn't it? I do have the straight through boards on Phono2 (phono1...

Anyone have experience with this kind of set up? Does it work? What kind of connections? Do you need a *cap to make it work? Thanks.

I was a little unsure as to which area to place this topic because my newest bit of kit is a new sofa!!!!We've recently replaced our large and comfy old sofa which had a cloth cover and big cushions to a new one that's made out of that thick brown...

NAP 300 is coming next week. 250 is driving now the Mezzo. It’s not powerful enough.There is some clipping at 11 o’clock. I tried 500 too. The speakers are breathing easier, voices and instruments have more body, superb...

Has anyone had a listen to a CD5i yet? If yes,how did it compare to the CD5. I am about to upgrade my Rega Planet for one of the Naim players. Is the only difference between them the fact that the 5 is able to take a power supply or is there more to...

The current debate about how the power is distributed inside an 82 or 282 connected to 2 HiCaps has established that it's i HiCap per channel AND warning comments about using "matched" HiCaps because of this have been raised. I have a 1993 HiCap & a 2000 HiCap which were driving my 282. I say were becasue not any more. Using the 2000 HiCap standalone on the 282 is noticeably better for the depth and detail in the music. The older HiCap is not wasted though because I am now running my...

Hello everyoneJust thought I'd share my pain with you... picked a record up off my LP12 the other day (Led Zep 3 re-issue, very nice btw), the mat came away with it, then fell away from the record, dropped onto the Aro, which lifted and swung across...

Hello,I have probably 50 jewel boxes that need replacement, and they vary in design- both black and clear "bases" (?), the 2-CD types that flip out to be 3-wide, and the 2-CD flip-book-style types.Can any of you recommend US-based online stores where...

I have recently listened to both a CDX2 and an Accuphase DP-55V player and both sound excellent in many and different ways. The DP-55V player is the slightly more expensive of the two. Just wondered what Naim system owners reckon is the reason I...

Dev,Please have a look at the "Which way to go ... Fraim or XPS2" thread or at your private topics.Regards.Adolfo Aguiar

Just bought a Rega planar 25...is it just my imagination or is this one of the best source components available for the price? -- woody

Following on from the FT article, the Sunday Times on 23/11/03 has a plug for Hi-End Hi-Fi, (Naim, Linn, Cyrus, Meridian, B&O) but then mixes it up with multi-room, confusing the issues totally? Some bright young things have spent £200k on multi-room installation in a £2m house. It is now de riguer in any new loft apartment. I have multiroom - it is called my old Hi-Fi's which get retired to other rooms. Has anyone done successful Real Hi-Fi multiroom? DS OTD - Tangerine Dream -...

-thinking of using one in a home cinema setup with just 2 speakers rather than a 5.1 system - anybody done this, is it better than a el cheapo yamaha amp and speakers and also whats the s/h price of a nait 3 (about 6 years old...) - will be using with...

Can anyone shed any light on a pair of Naim 2 way speakers I caught sight of in Russ Andrews Edinburgh dealers when I demoed my first Naim sistem in March 1987? They were a fairly large pair of rectangular stand mounts as I recall and they were very...

Leaving for a week; turn off or leave the kit on.Pretty much past the thunderstorm season in the midwest.what do other forum members do when leaving for holidays.

I thought I'd got this sussed.I've just demoed a 282/250mk2/xps2 in the context of my system and had settled on the next two steps - 282 1st then the XPS2.But I read from quite a few of you kind people who have changed from your exisiting rack to...

Currently, my audio setup is in a living area with with wall to wall carpeting, which is installed over a concrete slab. I was considering removing the carpeting and installing a hardwood floor in this area.How much will my system change, sonically,...

This is trying to be speakers question but I know you lot will recommend anything but. Now I love my Rega Elas (Mk ~1.75) and every time I’ve done something upstream they have let me hear the difference loud and clear. I’m looking for...
