One of the highlights of this years Heathrow show was seeing the EAR valve amps and hearing them as well. Has anyone got experience of EAR 8LT or EAR834? I'm aiming to buy a CDX in the next few months (to upgrade cd5) and want to start thinking of...

Now that I have my new Fraim, i want to get the best out of it that I can to maximise its potential. I have realised from my 9 months on the forum that there is always a tweak or two that can be done in order to squeze that little bit extra from your...

What sort of buzz should I expect when trying to use my Stageline phono stage, as I don't experience any noise with ie = CD etc. Via my 200&202. As obviously it gets worse the more the volume, I don't listen to classical music but it would be...

Has anyone seen this? I had my SBLs unplugged and happened to put my ear by the tweeter and heard a sixty hz buzz. I have a lamp plugged into a dimmer that is plugged into the wall against which the SBLs sit. I know that dimmers can cause noise in the...

Guys-I am new to the Rega world after having a Linn LP12 (Ekos,Arkiv, Lingo, Linto) for 23 years. Loss of much of my vision required that I consider a much easier to maintain TT. I wanted something that was setup and forget it. I want to thank Scott...

Chaps:Linn dealers seem to be thin on the ground in the Sunshine State, despite what the official Linn site claims. I need my trusty LP12 serviced and a rebuilt Troika reinstalled (once I get around to sending it to Expert Stylus). Does anyone here...

Hi, I am currently looking to buy my first Naim system and have heard a set-up costing £5080 comprising CD5, NAC112, NAP150, FlatCap 2 + additional SNAIC-5, B&W 704 and Isoblue rack. I am contemplating increasing the budget to either 6, 7 or £8000 and see the options at these price levels as follows:- Approx. £6k: As above 'starter' system but no Flatcap 2 and replace CD with CDX2. Approx. £7k: CDX2, NAC202, NAP200, no power supply. Approx. £8k: CDX2, NAC202,...

Well, this must be the dawn of a new Era - two Naim amps finally make Stereophile's new "Recommended Components" list... or more exactly, an integrated (Nait 5, further to Art Dudly's recent review) and the Nac 552.To be honest, if my recollection is...

Hello All,Does a Snaps only work with a non .5 pre-amp, or is it possible to power a 32.5, 42.5, 62 or 72 via its 4 pin socket, and if so, how much better is this than the internal p/s of the Nap?Regards,Darren Cotter

Has anyone a pic of a recent Aro arm preferably with arm lift. The Naim site pic is somewhat arty and looks a bit squashed, it also doesn't show the arm lift. Thanks in advance,Mark

Simply 2 word review- The best, amazing, brilliant etc.......

Currently I partner my CD5/FC2/202/200/ Naca 5 with Dyna 1.8Mk 2. Due to room sizing and the common syndrome of guy. Plan to switch to a pair of bookshelf in the near future. Short-listed candidates include: B&W S805, Wilson Benesch ARC, Wilson Audio CUB, Dyna 25th, Focus FS688 (in order of preference). Any comments or experiences to share?

Just to make a change from the usual "Will I notice how much better the 552 is than my 52 if I only have a CDS2 source?" type of postings, I have a requirement for a portable music source. I need to be able to play CD's and it must work from...
