Hi-Fi Corner

I have just had my upgrade plan thrown into turmoil.It was going to be a tough choice to begin with. Starting from CDX2 / 282/ 2xHiCap / new 250 what next XPS2 or Supercap?Master plan = call my friendly naim dealer again and ask for the "side by side"...

Hi There fellow Naimees, I know the title does'nt sound particularly Naim-ish, but I've always held that Linn & Naim (in certain areas) work well together. So, has anybody out there got a NAP250 driving Linn Helix's ??. And where in the Linn range do these (or did these) fit ?? i.e. what price range were they ?? Thanks Mike LP12/Ittok/K9/3.5/72/SNAPS/250

ChapsI am at home today, aching like hell because yesterday I did an emergency 10 hour shift moving hundreds if not thousands of roll containers off and on 40ft lorries. I was daft enough to volunteer and now I ache in muscles I never knew I had....

i would like to hear from anyone who has done the upgrade from 52 to 252. i thought there was a recent thread discussing this, but i cant find it from a search. of course, i will have to do my own listening if i want to do this -- but in the meantime,...

Those speakers look promissing.

My Kans have served me well. Bought for 200 quid (including Kan2 stands) about six years ago I have enjoyed them on the end of a Nait, NAP140 and now a NAP200. With the arrival of each and every new and more advanced (read expensive) equipment...

Hello everyone,“Acoustical Nirvana is coming nearer everyday….as my new 252 is filling my rooms with heavenly musical pleasures….” – it sounds great, even cold out of the box (actually, the SuperCap was in use for quite...

Hi, I'm new to the forums, so please be kind! I'm just upgrading from an 8yr old Rotel CD/Amp & Kef Coda 7's system to a Naim CD5i and Nait5i together with some B&W CM2's. I want to know if anyone can recommend some speaker cable that I can lay under carpet (2 x 10m lengths needed) that will work well with the Naim equipment as I understand it is very sensitive to different cables. I have seen some completely flat cable (sorry, can't remember the make) but would like to hear anyone's...

yet another upgrade dilemma !I have recently upgraded my power amp from a 180 to a 250 (olive) and am very pleased, but the upgraditus hasnt yet been cured I now have several opions to pursue and would love comments/suggestions/expirencesCurrent...

Has anyone heard the new players and has anyone compared them to say an arcam 27(or the likes) or compared the CD section to the CD5?

HiHas anybody got a firm release date for the new 5i series components? Also how much longer before the Nait 5 and CD5 are discontinued? Thanks.

... make room for the Whispering Windows.they even work as headphonesAnd I quote: "...it's not every day that your head serves as a piece of stereo equipment."

I was talking to Mark Ragget of the Naim service dept today, after I re-installed my Fraim and ended up with a more bass-heavy sound.He tells me that the glass on the Fraim has a "right way up".If you tap the glass after setting up a level, the tone...

Not a topic to inspire a lot of debate, butWhat is the pitch of the 4mm sockets needed to accept the Naim 4mm speaker blocks?I mean the exact distance between the centre of the two sockets (or the distance between the centre of the pins)I don't want...

Scene - moving into brand new house in 6 weeks or so. SWMBO has ordered the new couches, carpets etc. Everything in it's place etc.The spare bedroom upstairs will house my LP, CD and DVD collection but I must keep some in the living room for "normal"...

I currently have an EAR Valve Amp and wondered whether a Naim CD5 would be a good match. It is either this or a Rega Planet/Jupiter 2000.I don't have any intention to change to Naim Amps in future so this cannot be part of the equation.Basically, I am...

IT'S A WOW!!!More of everything..Dynamics,organic(harmonic),and great boogy factor....Wonderful upgrade........It has made the player even more quiet. I seem to be playing it a wee bit louder.What was the kicker for me was when I put on Van Halen...

I'm not a great watcher of TV, but with DVD players available for a good bit under £150, or less, maybe its time to consider one...Interested in any experiences of:- Players such as Pioneer DV464/565, Sony NS330/433, Philips 728 (Mentioned for...

Good evening: I have a Naim AV2 connected to an Arcam Diva DVD player and Pass Amps and Joseph speakers. I am looking to integrate a dedicated two channel system into the setup. While Naim recommends the NAC 112, is there any reason why one cannot use...

Has anyone tried this? Looking at the Intro manual, it seems to be just a matter of disconnecting the woofer from the crossover and routing its leads/sockets out to the blanked holes in the woofer cabinet.This puzzles me slightly, as it means (I...

1) How do they compare to the 1.3 mk II?2) The Dynaudio 1.3 mkII's like to be placed close together, is this also the case with the S1.4?Thanks,Jay

I'm waiting for this upgrade.Do you think it's a good upgrade in my actual system:Nac72,Hi,140, proac 1.5thanksSimone

Can anyone shed any light on the differences between these two phono stages, especially in the context of a Naim system? Thanks.

I have noticed that my 135s, 52/supercap has the following hook up. The connections from the output of the supercap to the 135s are at outputs #3 and #4. I had it this way when I used an 82. I have been using these two outputs since I got my 52...
