Any audio techies got a few minutes to explain the difference between Class A and the rest? My upstairs system (Nad 541i/Stax 313 earspeakers) sounds better through phones than my main system (3.5/Flatcap2/new 250/Stax Lambda Pros). Ok there are a few...

Learned members,While running in a new amp I took my DBLs off the Mana soundbases to enable repositioning of them and to see if I could make them easier to listen to. The main things I noticed were, the music flowed much better but they sounded slower...

I'm currently using CD5 + FCII + TAG McLaren Amplifier + PMC FB1.I'm planning to get Naim amp (probably 112/150) in the future.Does Naim + FB1 sounds good?Cheers.

I did'ent realise there had been a mod to the deck until recently. Linn has quoted me a price of 130 pounds plus labour to fit a new top plate with the appropriate bolt hole.Being an engineer, I am open to a little DIY and would like to know the...

Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the 110? Can anyone id (1) the non tant caps (2) the tants

I see one of our 'favourite' hi-fi Mags has reviewed the Isoblue rack that some use... gave it a reasonable write-up...Not that we trust hi-fi mage tho do we?

Looking for some opinions here. . .Everything I've heard about adding the new XPS power supply to the "old" CDS2 head unit is that the results are spectacular. (I already know the new burndy cable is a fabulous upgrade, because I've put one between my...

Based on the recent shows and the latest communication from Naim, can someone summarize what we know regarding upcoming Naim equipment, from sources (especially dvd) to amplification?To those who have posted equipment pictures from the shows (and...

What interconnect should I use to connect my 52 to a CD burner? I know the cable needs 4 RCAs. Are there many options out there?ThanksJohn

To a Nait 3. What do you think? They are quite cheap, but how do they sound?

I'm planning to add stageline to my existing NAC112/NAP150/FC2. Due to limited shelf of cabinet, how should I stack them into 2 blocks. Currently, stack NAC112 on top of NAP150. FC standalone on another block. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone experience of any of the speaker systems listed below (mid 1970s)? If so it would be great to hear about the perceived strengths and weaknesses of these speakers.If anyone has pictures, brochures, handbooks, details of any of these and...

As I understand it, I have 2 black Snaic-5's, a grey Snaic-5 and a black Snaic-4, all used as interconnects between my Naim pre-amps, HiCaps and Naxo (or, in the case of the grey one, between 72 and 160). So far so good - and yes, the black ones sound...

I don't know if it had been discussed here. Is there here anybody with somme experience with Spendor S100-SP100 or SP9 associated with Naim gear (i.e 82+S.Cap+250) ?What is actually 2d hand price for a mint SP100 with original stands?TIA

Hello all,I have a Nait 5 and a pair of LS3/5a speakers. I like the sound very much. But, no bass! I have thought about buying different speakers, but that will be expensive if I want the very good midrange of the LS3/5a's with bass.Now I am thinking...

Hi,I currently have CDX,112/150,FC2,PMC-FB1. I was wondering what the benefits would be of upgrading to the 200/202 combo. Any thoughts?Steve D

Hi there,Having purchased a new AV2, I would like to understand how I can identify the current firmware version that the unit is using ? Also, having done this, is there anywhere on the Naim web site that I can find what the latest firmware version...

It has been suggested to me to try a Chord Anthem DIN to DIN interconnect instead of the standard Naim jobbie. This is in a CDX2 based Naim system.The same person who suggested this also expressed the view that the 1m was somehow better optimised for...

GuysI'm seriously thinking about changing my CD5 up to a CDX2 within the next few weeks.I wanted to know what I should ask for it (10 months old) and the best place to advertise it on. Your input would be appreciated.RegardsClive

I have Phono outputs on my Well Tempered which go to my Tom Evans Groove PLus which leads to my 552, Iam currently using Linn Leads- sounds good but I'm sure there is better. What are peoples recomendations to go ot and from the Phono stage to the 552...

Any speculation (from personal experience or otherwise) on how this stand would "stand" up to a FRAIM or other commercially available rack? It's a quantum leap of improvement over the Soundstyle I had been using. The highs have filled in nicely...

Hi there,Sheesh, I've just pressed and held down the Disp button on my AV controller instead of the OSD button.Seems like I've just found out the hard way that there is no confirmation for whether you would like to Reset the unit to Factory Default...

Just thought I'd share my thoughts on the above 3 speakers and see whether anyone else has had any experience of these comparisons.I have more or less decided to buy a CDX2/202/200, possibly with PSC and/or Hi-Cap. I quickly discovered that sub...

Some of you may have noticed these before. One is up on Audiogon right now. I'm wondering if any rack enthusiasts might like to voice their opinions on such a stand. Five or (?) slabs of 2 cm thick granite are connected through by 3 threaded blackened...
