Dear Colleagues,My search in this forum was inconclusive, so I kindly ask for your support:When was the NAC 52 modified/up-graded the last time ?Which year or even better: From which model numbers onwards was this implemented ?So I can specify this in...

Hi in particular people who understand the electronics side of NAIM.I read from time to time in threads here about it being desirable to drive NAIM power amps with NAIM pre-amps because they are matched to provide the correct bandwidth limiting for...

I've read some threads on this subject, and am interested to know how important this is, why, and how on earth do I get the cables to not touch each other or anything else.My power and signal cables are kept apart, but beyond this they're a mess. The...

Ron, So how is the CDS3 sounding? I listened to Jim Levitt's recently and I was impressed with the player's incredible depth and texture. Mine is supposed to arrive after Labor Day, so I must hang on your words for till then. Chris BellPS: 552 warming...

I finally got round to swapping my Rega Mira 2k and NAIT3 around this weekend, as the NAIT for bedroom hifi use was no good, due to the imbalances in the volume control at low levels - ie, any time with a bedroom system Anyway, the NAIT was powered...

Hi Folks,I've just taken delivery of a DIY Moth record cleaner kit. Before I get into DIY mode, does anybody who has made one of these have any pearls of wisdom they'd like to pass on? I note, with surprise, that there are no recommendations regarding...
