I am currently awaiting delivery of a CDX2 I have been offered £675 trade-in for my 9 month old CD5. I've just seen one go for £851 on e-bay.I know my dealer has vat and profit to add into the equation, but do you think £176 under...

i'm using a naim 62/90 set up and sincing owning it (second hand) it has made a loud crack noise when turning on and off, even with the volume fully turned down. can i rectify this easily?what was the best thing before sliced bread?

U is for UpgradeI've currently got a CD5, Nait 5, FC2 (connected to both - sounded best that way to me), NACA5 and Arcaydis concept 2 floorstanders.Seen some fairly good deals on second hand stuff recently that has given me another bout of the dreaded...

I thought I would try using my SNAXO with my old 250 and my new 500. Driving SBLs. I must admit it works rather well. Less clinical than a passive 500 and so much better than active 250s!One speaker is driven by the 500 and the other by the 250. Not...

I have just taken ownership of some new NBL's. They are now in the process of running in and sounding just great. However, I have noticed that when you stand within a couple of feet of them with no music playing (and the volume control at zero) I...

hello - ive done a search on this and its not throwing anything back, ive just bought a pair of old ibls mk 1 that seem to be in really good order, im a little undecided which way to go, has anybody ever gone active with a snaxo2/4 and a pair of 250's...

Any experience matching an AS TT (Final Tool)with a naim system? is it a good idea, compares to a Rega TT/Naim combo? I am going to get a TT for my 112/150 system, wondering which one is the best choice.Thanks!

HiI have just ordered a Rega P9? I have also decided on a staageline Phono stage. Questions:1) Flatcap2 or Highcap (My other gear is non-Naim)2) Will the stageline drive the DV 17 mk II or DV-xx-2 or DV XL?3) What stageline type do I need?4) If the...

Some advice from the assembled masses of Naim experts:What experience have people had in mixing Naim equipment with equipment from other manufacturers?Use of sources or speakers from other suppliers seems common-place, but what about using:a) A Naim...

Hi there,With the current discussions of the new Naim products about to be shown at the upcoming hi-fi shows, are there any dates set yet, when the full details of these will be announced ?i.e. when can I see the full product announcement details as I...

I am in the process of chosing a P9/DV cartridge/Naim stage line/Naim power supply for my otherwise non-Naim system. I may need to reduce the projected costs and wonder where the best place is to make changes from my "ideal" so to speak. I need to...

can anyone give their views on this phono stage as one is up for sale at my dealer. its 7 years old and in vgc i currently run armageddon lp12 ittock and troika into 72 hicap 160 is it worth going this route or going the prefix way.also is their any...

In short, is it worth sacrificing cartridge quality in the near term, for a better TT?Thanks,Jay

It seems that folks have experience with the Rega P9. I am asking, even though I have non-naim components.Sold my Linn TT and will be purchasing a P9. What low Output MC Cartridges have you used with this table/arm that do not require spacers, if...

As promised in another posting, here's the results of today's dem. Firstly, I would like to praise my local Naim dealer, Loud & Clear (Glasgow). John was the perfect host and I am sure that a great bond will be made for the future, and that's priceless !! To begin with, I arrived to find everything set up in the dem room. My first track (Kenny Loggins "Angelique" from the Alive album) was played and I felt the sound was a little "metallic" in the midrange but otherwise very enjoyable. John...

Help please. I've just purchased a NAC 72 [1990 model]without a dedicated cd Din socket I was advised to use the tuner circuit[ which works ] however after reading information about board pulling to improve the sound I'm now confused,I have removed the following boards:- 2 x 322[phono], 2 x 324 [tape loop]the info says to remove the 2 x 328 boards on the Aux circuit and replace them with 326 link boards, this will clean up the sound BIG TIME, however the Aux is fitted with 2 x BNC sockets I...

Anyone purchased this TT? Or been able to demo against the GyroDec?Any thoughts would be appreciated.thanks

Dear all,I've been offered a pair of demo stock Allaes by one of my local dealers. S/n indicates they are about 18-20 months old and I assume been used by the dealer for well over a year. Condition is as new to my eye (and ear). What would be a...

Well, its taken time but I finally blagged my Fiance to do some images for me.As an electron microsopist images below are at strong magnification, apparently you can go to like 20,000x but this would probably defeat the purpose.Anyways here are the...

Can someone tell me what I would need to use an IXO in my system?Can I use Nait 5-IXO-Credos or do I need 2 power amps?
