I recently decided, to have a big picture according to my big sound Therefore I had to move several pieces of furniture and hifi-gear in my living room.It is nothing new, that bulky objects between your speakers degrade the sound. But I never...

I have had a look at the "metal on wrist" thread and people have raised the issue of other speaker/microphones (such as telephones) in the room moving in sympathy with the music and absorbing sound pressure at certain frequencies, hence distorting the...

Has anyone tried a Vandenhul the first interconnect in a Naim system. Is it worth connecting din plugs to this interconnect so I can use them on my CD5?

Hi folks.Has anyone got a current-spec Armageddon (i.e. the new case) for their LP12? I'm interested in finding out your experiences with it as regards noise - both back into the mains and in terms of humming from the box and RFI from the box...

Hi chaps Help! I use the aux input on my NAC62 [ 1988 model ] for my Naim CD 3.5 player. I would like to move up to NAC 72 but have been unlucky obtaining one,ah well.My question is it possible to modify the 62 aux circuit to bypass the not needed bits ie a direct circuit simular [if possible ]to a NAC 72?. This would hopefully save purchasing a NAC 72 [ and my stress looking for one ] my power amp NAP 140 [1988 ] Thanks chaps Best wishes Robin

I decided quite some time ago that my Nait was ripe for an upgrade but can't decide whether I should jump a level. I like the sound of the 112/150 alot but am too scared to demo 202/200 in case it becomes a 'must have'. Friends and dealers however...

Also, can someone tell me why a QED tape switcher will NOT work on a NAIT3's tape DIN? Is this something to do with common earth on the 5pin DIN system?I had my 2 tape decks and Sony MD wired up via the box as with the Mira, and could get only VERY...
