Greetings. I wondering if anyone out there has thoughts on the benefits of adding a hicap to a Nait 5. My current system is an original Planet, Nait 5, Audio Physic Spark III. I'm sure you are all thinking I should upgrade the Planet to a CD5 or CDX....

Hi, I'm currently looking for a new set up and a came across the B&W Nautilus 804 loudspeakers. I dragged my jaw out of the store, leaving a nice, clean stripe on the floor. I was stunned, and the most accurate districption is arguably: In Love. Biggest problem was, my set wasn't capable of driving the N804, in terms of quality. So I went searching for a newe stereo set. In first instance, I went to my local hi-fi store to listen to the Arcam A85 and CD72T. Not knowing I would be pleasantly...

This question is for nap 250 first serie:i see an inside photo of this amp were there are 2 new main capacitor (BHC 15000 uf) smaller that i usualy see in a nap 250.May be the new one are less bigger compared to the old, but this value is the right...

I'm sending my active SBLs off for a driver update soon.OK, so what would happen if I (as a purely temporary measure) wired in their place a pair of biwirable KEF TDM Ones, with the link removed?I know I can alter the setup so one of my 250s powers...

These speakers are about the same price. Has anyone compared all 3 or at least 2 of the 3? Opinions appreciated, especially with regard to brightness and tonal balance in whatever situations you have heard them in. [This message was edited by kentonious on SUNDAY 05 May 2002 at 04:52.]

Hi all, I just bought a pair of old (chrome) style 135s and an old (chrome) style Hicap, and I wonder if they can be optically updatet to classic (olive) style or even to this new (however) style. Is it necessary to change the whole case, or is it...

CDS1/552/500/DBLMy 552 landed this afternoon. Here is a quick recap of the last three hours: Hour One: System sounds thin, no dynamics, boring. Serious case of buyers remorse. Hour Two: Hey wait, something is happening here. There is more bass, and...

looking to upgrage the old 32.5 to a 102 - any feedback on cost / benefit of NAPSC power supply much appreciatedJeremy

I must say I'm very surprised Naim are contemplating bringing out another FM Tuner with PST, albeit with a DAB module included. I am assuming the PST will be the made to request only XPS-T so by my reckoning the new tuner will be at least...

My apologies, i know this topic has been discussed at length but my search string isn't coming up with a scenario specific to mine..i have a q fm3/cd3.5/fc2/nait3 in the bedroom and am getting significant radio frequency interference on one...

i just saw a p triangle turntable for sale but have never heard of a haddock tone arm anyone on this forum heard one? they are asking £450 it's the pt export model fitted with this arm.

I have noticed that, apart from Naim equipment, there are more posts on this forum about the venerable Scottish transcription turntable than any other bit of hardware; and that, apart from the thorny subject of supports (let's not go there) said LP12...

I was chatting to a guy recently who has a bit of knowledge about Garrard 301/401 turntables and enquired to his opinion between the two decks - he replied “the 401 is the more neutral sounding deck, but the 301 does bass like nothing else, if...

Greetings,Yes its like a broken record, (or skipping CD) its boring as batshit and equally inane. Yes I said I would never darken this doorstep again But........I have just taken a big step in my rig and added a 52 to: CDS2, 250, Supercap, SBL's on...

I have just heard on the grapevine that Tag McClaren have announced that they will cease the development of all new products. They are conducting a "strategic" review with a view to deciding where to go/what to do.Apparently this has been posted by...

Hi,I'm relatively new to the hifi scene and would like some advice, suggestions on amplification.I'm curious to know which pre and power combos from Naim would best suit Quad 988's, speaking to dealers the advice truly varies from some swearing by...

Dear all,I just purchased my first set of Naim and am awaiting for delivery. It is CD5/202/200I am using Dynaudio Contour 1.8Mk2. Anyone tried that combo and is the 200 powerful enough?

I went over to my friendly neighborhood dealer for some NACA5 today. they're plugging it up, and before i pick it up, i'd like to double-check there isn't some unnatural markup here.they're asking for CHF 40 per meter, which comes out to about 18 quid...

Last night I discovered a lurid green CD 'hoop' around the edge of an old David Sylvian disc, which I vaguely recall was from Audio Technica in the eighties..Throwing this alternately on other discs and into my CDX produced an increase in bass...

Anyone got a pdf of the owners manual for credos they can e-mail me. I've got a pair on demo from a dealer at the moment, but they come without boxes or a manual.
