Question to the wise.There are equations for calculating resonant frequencies - such as the modes of a room - and presumably the room resonances that would occur if a speaker were placed at position X.Now...my limited understanding is that, according...

Some advice please for my sib.He had climbed the Naim path to Credo/102/180 and Meridian 506 CDP but he was not really using the system too much or enjoying the music. The family moan about the bass too. The room is very boomy in general and I think...

Actually it should be: CDS3 or LP.Tom wrote that P9/RB1000 is an alternative of LP12 at a half price.System is: CDX2/XPS2/252/SC2/250mk2/Mezzo Utopia. A 300 was ordered this week.What is your advice? What is sounding better: CDS3 or P9? What would you...

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who incorporates surround sound with their system whether it be mainly for movies or music.What affordable amps/recievers do you use and is it ok to use different brand speakers for surround duties, ie...

I recently contacted Rega regarding servicing of an original P9. They stated that as long as the TT had never been tipped on its side then I don't need to worry. I have just been emailed this:P9My options are as follows:1. Fix the P92. Buy Mana and...

Nope - I'm not writing about box upgrades, or boxes v. stand upgrades, or even setting your kit on top of boxes instead of proper stands.Nope - something much more mundane than all that hi brow stuff.Question to the Fora:What do you do with all of the...

A used SBL seems to be on the way for me.If i get the SBL, my full system will be as follows. CD5/202/200 on my pARTicular. LP12 (FR14 arm plus shure M95 cartridge) on my M**a reference table.Questions that spring to my mind. Will it become mulletish?...

If any members own or have experience with Isoblue rack products, your comments please.

Simple one really, should the spikes from my Royd Abbots and my Quadraspire stands actually penetrate the wooden floorboards (don't have carpets) or sit on top of them on some chips or similar.My dealer said "into the floorboards" was probably best...

HiI have an LP12 with no baseboard (not yet built). I gather from view on the forum that the general consensus is that the deck performs better without the baseboard, but I'll need to put on some feet of some sort.Maplins has been suggested, but it...

Hi all,I have just bought a Hicap for my CD 5. How do I connect it? At the mo', I'M running an interconnect from the CD 5 direct to the Nait 2. Should I change this?Thanks,Markus

My F&P 501 washing machine is knackered. I have figured out that the on-off/pause microswitch on the main logic board is either buggered or loose. If I remove the board, turn the power on, at the wall, press the power microswitch, turn the board over (being careful not to kill myself) and short across the contacts on the other side of the on-off/pause microswitch with a screwdriver, the machine beeps. If I then remount the board the machine starts its cycle as the lid switch engages. Can I...

Can anyone advise on making Kabers active for a 2 NAP250 system. I did it with Keilidhs and am hoping it's pretty much the same mullarkeythanks in anticipationJeremy (in very hot Scotland - not too often you can say that)

MuchachosWith the current hot, dry spell static has become more of a problem when playing vinyl. In an attempt to cure this, I have plugged an ioniser in, near to my T/T. My thoughts where that it would cut down on static; reduce fluff accumulation on...

Hi!The rotating plate of my LP12 moves from side to side almost 1mm; I looked at the inner plate: it doesen't semm to sway, but between the inner and the outer plate there is a scope so I can slide the outer plate back and forth a little bit. I tried...

I have my SL2's sounding very nice, but I wonder if the setup can be improved by getting the tweeter exactly centered in the cutout. I have them very close but not quite perfect. The angle of the tweeter in the baffle is also very slightly (only a...

Broadband over Power Lines, if implemented, will surely throw "hash" all over our power. Maybe then Naim equipment would actually sound better with a line filter!Yikes!Read below from the American Radio Relay League (who has a vested interest in...

Many years ago when when I was impregnated (ooh eer missus!) with dorment flat earth seeds, Lingo's and full width Naim Pre amps and power supplies were not around. King of the hill was a Sondek/Tik-Tok/Valhalla with a 72/Hi-Cap/250 driving either...

ChapsI thought you may be interested to know that I am taking the Garrard over to Loricraft on Monday in order to have the Aro fitted.I bought the Garrard about 8 years ago and it was fitted in a Garrard plinth and came with a SME 3009 arm. I fitted a...

Hello.Does anyone know the difference between DL103, DL103R, DL103D, and other iterations? Also, do you think this cartridge will match my SME 3009S2?Thanks.

As I haven't looked at the forum for a number of weeks I may have missed a discussion on this subject....Anyway I read in the last newsletter that Naim aer offering re-boxing of some equipment. I have a Hi-cap and CDX which could benefit from this...
