I would like to purchase a NAP 150 for my two-channel system (202, 90/3, Spendor 3/5s, Sony DVD). However, I've been wondering about purchasing a NAPV 175 instead, then using the third channel output to power a center channel speaker, especially...

Hi,recent (and very interesting) thread about P9 vs LP12 makes me wonder about the RB1000 tone arm.Is the RB1000 comparable / in the same league as the Ekos or the Aro?Have someone already tried it on another TT than a P9?What is the verdict so ...

I posted yesterday evening & ASKED if I could advertise Naim kit on the forum. No advert, no prices, no contact numbers. Just asked. I quickly looked this morning before work & noticed two people had pointed out that it shouldn’t be done, but kindly advised a couple of good sites to advertise. I came in tonight to follow up & guess what? Post gone! Bit extreme I thought. Don’t you? Maybe Naim don’t like it to be known that some people actually sell their kit. I’ll be...

I currently have a 4-tier rack, which is soon to have a flatcap placed on it. Am I right in guessing that the transformer is on the right of the box in a FC1, and that consequently, the NAC72 should be placed on the left of it's shelf?My LP12 is on...

I have read some topics about using the NAIT 5 as a poweramp, but never there was a clear end. So, how about it?Is it possible to use the NAIT 5 as a poweramp?Can it deliver power to an external preamp (NAC 112, 202 or 282 for instance)? I think that...

Im fortunate enough to have 3 Naim dealers in my area but none of them carry NEAT.My understanding is that Naim and Neat go together like peanut butter and jelly or bangersand mash as the Brits say. So whats the problem?You would think one of them...
