We've just changed our sofas in our lounge (cloth upholstered) to leather ones. Having picked the prime spot on our new purchase I settled down to listen to some music, but instantly noticed that it now sounds different. I can't really put my finger...
Got a bit of a problem!Having just bought a CD5, I'm now having a bit of a problem with "presence". This was never an issue when I played CD's through my DVD player. Now that there is a lot more bass coming through (though not overstated), my...
About two months ago my CDX starts skipping. Actually its not really skipping as the time on the display runs. its just the music stops for a second and then plays on. So I send it back to naim en they put a new laser unit in.The player is back, but...

As I read in another thread here that Richard Dane suggests replacing an old Cart, I wonder.I have LP12 with Lvitok and Asaka. Ilan, Naim’s dealer here tells me to stay with this Cart as long as it plays. He says that if something goes wrong...
Reading the various topics, I get the impression that there are four racks that get recommended more often than not.ManaFraimHutterQuadraspireShould I be considering anything else ? It must have 4 shelves, the uppermost to accomodate my turntable. A...
Just wondering if any Nautilus owners (I have a pair of 804s), have tried bi-wiring (cant afford bi-amping), and if so what the results were like (I know that this isn't recommended with Naim amps but have heard that the B&Ws may benefit from it). If bi-wiring is not a good idea, has anybody replaced the supplied B&W terminal jumper cable with another speaker cable (NACA5 etc.), and what were the results. Many thanks Craig

What is the bigest shortcomming of modern amplifiers?I think that they are slow.I am amazed how much is little Nait 5 faster than many very expensive designs.Your thoughts? Ozren
In a way, it seems to be strange to me, that someone thinks that a new 202 bests a 82.So I think that the people in Naim have a level of quality they don’t want to go below. If they have the technology to produce at the price of a 202 pre with...

I have re-stup my Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk II's as per Frank Abela's posts. That is I have them about 5.5 feet apart, no toe in and fairly far into the room. The net effect of placing them closer together is allowing more distance from the side walls....

Hello all,After promising myself (and the girlfriend) I wouldn't spend any more money on HIFI this year (after originally going out in the Christmas sales to spend no more that £300 on an amp and CD player, and ending up a couple of months later...

I've seen lots of topics where the advantages of changing to 135s from a 250 are given. What I would like to know is has anyone made the change and not liked the outcome. Brendan
