Does anybody know at what serial # are the 007 transistors included in a late model 250 amp?Thanks in advanceEek

During one of my rare introspective moments I was wondering what drives me to upgrade my system. I mean it already plays music very well, upgrading is a pain and usually costs rather a lot of money. On face value this is a question that is likely to...

I'm using a CD5/HI with non Naim amps. A dedicated spur is in, the question is would a hydra make any difference to the bog standard rails I've got already. I ask because it's sposed to give Naim stuff the earthing requirements they love and thrive on...

Colleagues,The Naim system typically connects power amps to the HiCap or SuperCap and not directly to the 82; reasons stated are the common earthing point.Alternatives are some Naim power amps, which double as the power supply and use a special...

Hi guys,Just read through some old topics again today.What I noticed was that sometimes NANA (Naim usa) has different thoughts about Naim related things, than Naim UK... Like:Naim UK advices Naim owner to do a recap on their amp(s) when it's >10...

Apologies for rather unimaginative thread, but for the past few months I've diligently plodded down to WH Smith to check each month's hi-fi mags and see if anyone has yet done a review of this rather splendid player. I know it's probably early days...

Dear allI'm about to bite the bullet and (hopefully) buy my dream CDS3, with naim amplification and speakers to be decided depending on how many pennies are left in the piggy bank.I'm also about to move house, into a place where the potential hi-fi...

Wasn't there a thread here yesterday with someone enquiring about where he could find reviews of the CDS3????I just went to look at it again and it's disappeared???

I don't see much in the way of remarks about Keltiks in Forum and was wondering why.A fairly new set of Keltiks came up on Ebay for the second time and sold for a meager $2,700. They didn't even make it to $2,650 the first time around. For a $10k list...

I know I have touched on this subject in a previous thread, however I am very interested to know the full range of options available to use naim equipment to best effect between 2 adjacent rooms, where there is a route for cables.My system will be...

Being a lover of the 32.5 pre-amp , can any one who has done the 72 card upgrade! explain what the main changes are (sound).Does it become a 72 clone or does it retain its own character. I do not like the forward presentation of the 72 mid band, so...

A friend has told me I should check the phase of my plugs to get the best performance out of my system. He says to listen very carefully and turn the system off, then rotate the plug 180 and turn the system back on and see if there is a change. It...

Hello,A used isobarik Naxo has come up for sale and I was wondering if this beast it the same thing as a Snaxo. If not, is there a big difference?cheersGus

Yesterday evening I made the decision to tidy my listening room and to make some shelves. I made my way to my local B&Q warehouse and purchased the resources necesary to build a very stable wall mounted rack. By 18:30 I was home with the gear. By 21:30 I had built my masterpiece. By 22:00 I had all my equipment set up. By 22:05 I was sat in stunned silence at how much better my system sounded. It was clearer, louder, smoother and bassier (is that a word?) I am still in shock at how by just...
