I just purchased a Prefix S but would like to know if a K board would be better with a Miyabi/47 and or Dynavector XV-1. I have both carts now.Paul

Bought it S/H 6mo ago. It just seems to kill the music and my foot stops a tappin'.To me it sounds flat and compressed--not Naimalicious at all, or like the other 52 systems I've occasionally heard. It's been serviced --that certainly changed the...

There is/was once a post of internal pics but searching through I found none of the new series. Any internal pics out there of the new stuff. It would be neat to look at say a new 250 ver. an olive 250, or a 300 ver. a 135.Steve

Michael Fremer has reviewed the 552 in the July Stereophile. I won't comment on it since, reviews don't mean much to me, but Salisbury and Chicago won't complain much. Lots of words. Basically, Mikey likes it a lot.Browse a copy at your...

Simple one really Anyone know which side the transformer is located in an XPS, I only ask as my Hicap sits on the shelf above & I want to minamise possible interference between the two. Ta Mad Boy Matt

Was wondering, does a 3 yr old hicap sound better than a new fc2 n a CD5o

My LP12 project is finally coming together, and I just wanted to share my excitement!It's a new LP12 (bought half price - 2 years old, never out of box, somebody ordered from shop but never actually collected), Armageddon (Jan 2002 2nd hand), Aro (ex...

Hello out there to no faces but maybe a Naim.....I've decided to make the step from passive to active without totally violating my finances. To do so I will use my old 250 to drive treble and a new 200 to drive bass of my SBL's. This will be done...

I was wondering why Naim is the only company to sell Flatcaps and Hi caps for source and pre amps.Why the other companies don´t have this service or path upgrade?for a couple of Euros it can improve the system,reallyMY system : Naim Nait 5...

Art Dudley's review had me cracking up this month. As you might expect it was a positive review, but the introductory paragraphs were hilarious. I swear he's trying to piss off the majority of stereophile's readers. Check it out if you have a copy, or...

Hi guys, Read on the manual that we can set to switch the pre to auto switch mode but anyone have any experience in sound degrading?Logic tell me to set everything as factory default for optimal sound. keep it simple which is to say Any ...

who here has tried the new xps2 burndy with the above and replaced the original black burndy that comes with the cds2? Can anyone specify and quantify the benefits. Finally, is there a market for the black cds 2 burndy? What is the going rate for a...

hi,had this strange idea some days ago. what would happen if you take three chromium steel balls about 1,2cm in diameter, 3 stainless steel lock nuts m10 and 2 glassplates each 10mm thick?had all by hand.and how would this change the sound of my...

Good morning,This evening I get my new Supercap II* to replace my Hi Cap. What can I expect apart from a big hole in my purse?* aiming for 252current system: CDX/XPS/102/250(framed) /ProAc2.5 Cheers.Reto

Having never heard an active system I would be interested to know what benefits it offers...Is there a sort of 'level' of equipment one should have acquired before considering 'going active' as a worthwhile upgrade option?I have a CD5/FlatcapII/72/180...

Dear All,I just wanted to share my excitment of having just changed my CD3 to a CDS1 (linked to 72/hi/180)Wow!..as you might expect. After months of deliberating of whether to go for a CDX or get a CDS1 for the price of a bare CDX, the choice was...

I´ve got the FC 2 connected with my cd 5.But I tried to disconnect the fc 2 and I can´t hear any differences.What is the problem?MY system : Naim Nait 5 amplifier,Naim cd 5 ,Epos M 15 speakers,Naca5,FC2

Hi all,Has anyone tried the new Cerraball support devices (made by Finite Elemente /Pagoda Racks)?Alternatives could be the Nordost Pulsar Points.I'm thinking of using these Cerraballs for my CDS 2, which a had to mount on a wall shelf - and now I'm...

Besides the considerable difference in price, can anyone <who has intimate experience of both> comment on just how significant the difference is when you listen to the music. I have the later SBL's with which I'm quite happy with but if there is...

I have 5 kids who are not living with me. The older (Amir, 20 years old) playing a classic and electronic guitar and he played with a band before he went to the army. The second (Alon, 19 years old) likes to see movies and he has a collection of DVDs....

I'm experiencing balancing problem with my new system consisting of 250/202/FlatCap2/NAPSC and CD5. The left channel has a more distinct bass and sounds more forward and open. The right channel sounds weaker. I first noticed this when I turned my...

Just out of curiousity,What Naim set up you guys listen to? or is it a silly question.It must be top of the range stuff of course? Best Regards,Km

your ears, how often do we get them checked.we spend xxxxx amount on hi fi,upgrades.tweaks etc. but how many of us actually take care of the instruments we listen with?what do other forum members do in regard to looking after their hearing?
