hi guys...is it true that in flat-cap 2, one output is superior than the other? or are they just as equalled?regards.rafizi

I am unfamiliar with the type of connector on Naim tuners used to attach an external antenna. Most antennas in the US that I've seen use a coaxial, screw on F connector. What kind of adapter do I need to use the coaxial cable? Thanks all.

My CDX2 arrived yesterday, along with a NAPSC to go with my 202/200/Flatcap2 and replace my CD5.First impressions - much more depth, vocals further forwards, more detail and, yes PRAT. Possibly less mid range control, and the soundstage seems more...

I've just spent a fascinating afternoon listening to upgrades to my sistem.Currently I have:CD5/flatcap2/202/200 into Rogers Ls6a2'sFirst thing that was done was to add the NAPSC to the 202. F**k me! Why haven't I done this before? It was as though...

HiI've just acquired a 20 year old 160 (along with a 72/hi-cap) which has never been serviced.I know I can either just have it serviced/re-capped, or I can have the power supply upgraded to 180 spec at the same time for not a great deal more.The...

A good friend of mine recently took in his Hi-Cap for repair, and a re-cap also his 62/140 for servicing. He was given a price for the above but was promptly told that his pre-power combo might have problems powering his speakers (KEF Reference Ones.)...

I'm looking for a headphone amp to go with my 32.5/140/hi-cap and recently purchased CD3.I know the Naim Headline is the obvious option but are there any viable cheaper options? Even secondhand (if I could find one) the Headline & power supply is...

Has anyone out there tried any of the mains conditioners currently on the market (Isotek, Russ andrews etc) in their Naim systems?Any benefits?Please don't tell me about a mains spur... I've read all the bits about them on this forum...ta!

This is a good one - rather like SACD vs DVD-A, there are 2 available shows to shoose from on the same date (27th-28th Sept) - will most people not go to either?Apparently Naim are at both, which makes it more interesting.

Hi,a person I know has a pair of 135s he wants to swap for my 250, plus cash.Money wise the deal would be OK for both parties.My system is CDS2/52/250/Fraim feeding Kef LS3.5ATT is Thorens 124/Aro/Dyna DV20xDeal would be my 250 (150xxx, 1999) plus...

that sound of Nait 5 is somehow made for vider audience than Nait 2 was?Few days ago I have post my initial imperssions about my upgrade from Nait 2 to Nait 5 and I was told that Nait 5 is better in every area. Well, almost, but crucial factor which...

I am awaiting my cd5 flatcap 2 which should arrive shortly.can anyone tell me how long it takes to burn in.is it advisable to leave a disc in playing all the time on repeat to burn it in quicker.all posts welcome

Today I collected my CD2 at my dealer, as it was fixed by Naim. There I saw a Quadrapire rack with glass shelves. It looked pretty good, but can anyone tell me anything about the influence it has on the sound? It is quite a bit more expensive than the...

Good peopleAs some of you may know, I recently upgraded my LP12 – a full report will follow (fairly) shortly (too busy listening to music and working too hard to pay for upgraditis). Am generally very pleased with it, but I am experiencing a...

Hi I have the CD5 and Nait 5 and I am now looking at some good speaker cable for my B&W602S3's. At the moment I am using some Mountain Snow atlas cable which I really don't rate too highly. Are there any recommendations out there, for cable and plugs etc. 2 X 4m should do the trick but I don't want to break the bank. Under £70 all inc? Cheers S
