Audio T Tunbridge Wells will be having a couple of Naim open days next Wednesday and Thursday (22nd & 23rd October). Opening times are 10-6pm on Wednesday and 10-8pm on Thursday and all are welcome to come by. Our own Jason Gould will be there too hopefully accompanied by the Nait 5i, CD5i, Ariva and DVD player - just so long as he can wrestle them away from the guys in R&D!!

Hi all,I was planning to buy a Naim system, and my orientation was reaching an end. At first I decided on a NAC202/NAP200/CD5 system, but now I'm more planning on upgrading, with a NAIT5/CDX2 system (cheaper, so I can start enjoying earlier ). The...

Just installed psc with 202 last weekend and was curious about switching it on and off because it doesn't have a switch. Question - When switching the system off, should it (psc) be unplugged before or after the HC2? Or doesn't it matter? (I assume...

Hi,I have a 102/NAPC, 180/HI-CAP, which I'm about to upgrade. To get a better sound, would you recommend me to go for the new 202/200 set or a new282/old180 set-up? I will go to my dealer and audit these two alternatives, but I would like a word of...

I saw an ad. the other day for an interconnect with a battery on the side. The manufacturer states having a constant voltage across the dieletric aligns it in some way (or some such nonsense). Is there any merit to this at all? I'm curious since...

Hi By the end of november I hope to replace my B&W602S3's with some new bookshelf speakers (Not enought room for floorstanding ). I have about £1000 to spend and would like to hear ideas about what people think is a good buy. I have heard that the B&W 705's are good but what can I put them against in a demo. I have the following CD5/112/150. The speakers will be on soundstyle XS122's They would also have to be available in a light wood (beechy). I am under strict orders from the style...

Anyone compared?

I have for reasons of space located my gear in the next room. Cement wall and floor. NACA5 runs through the wall.How does this effect support requirements? Would it be just as important or less important?Very little sound comes through the wall....

It didn't work out with my tube preamp ( a disaster ), but surprisingly it works well with my tube amps. I know it's not *kosher*, yet it works. Has anyone tried it?

Well I just had to say it because it does, despite it's humble stature, sound so good I am rarely tempted to buy the latest and greatest at the shop. Although a system with Verity speekers did excite me recently.My sound is detailed and energetic but...

HiI've just bought a CD5 and am hopeing to add a flatcap 2 in the next few weeks. My question is do the necessary leads come with the flatcap 2 so I can connect it to the CD5 or do I have to purchase the lead separately? If I have to buy the lead...

Hello all,first of all I want to say that I prefer mono. But most stereo recordings are not mono compatible thus I use a stereo setup with a Nait5.Nowadays SACD is becomming more and more important (still not important). And SACD has besides stereo...
