Hi-Fi Corner
I was in Singapore over the past 4 days and bought a pair of Dynaudio 1.3 SE. (There were two others I liked - but not necessarily better - E.g. Living Voice and PMC) but they were all too big for me to hand carry back into Vietnam.After I had "done...
Hi all,Just bought a 112/150/Stageline set. While trying to adjust the input levels of the CD and Stageline, I recognized that I can indeed increase the gain of the CD as well. (I presume the unit I received is set to factory default even the box was...
I am looking to replace my current StandDesign racks with some newer/better models. Outside of Naim Fraim's,(toooo costly!), what can people recommend? I see alot of people giving Hutter praise. These are available in my area.Any experiences with...
Very interesting forum.Does anyone have a 32.5/hicap/160 set up? If so,I'd be interested to know what speakers you are using and whether or not you would recommend them. I have Royd Minstrels but I am looking for a change. I could spend up to...
Is anyone using the soundbases for their NBLs? I have suspended floors and am curious if these with help maximize the performance of my NBLs. I remember reading the height of the speaker is very important with NBLs.Also are they a special order...
Hi guys,Tonight I visited an audio-friend, to listen to his (AudioNote) HiFi-system, in his new house, which happened to be about a 5 minute walk from my place.After a few minutes of listening I noticed that his system didn't include his old Thoren TT...
Not sure if this should be in the HiFi Corner, but here goes...My brother tells me that when he is burning DVDs, not only is there a regional DVD format, but there are also other formats, for which you need to buy specific format discs, and you need...
Hi guysI'm thinking of starting on a Naim path, with the entry level of Nait 3 or 3R in mind. Would appreciate any advice and things to watch out for on getting it as a used item (besides checking the serial number for year of product). And is there...
On Sunday I switched everything off and unplugged all boxes because of the lightning.Last night when I got back from work I decided to move everything round, move the power amp and PS away from the radiator and sources. All very nice. But when I...
I've got a chance to purchase an Empire 698 turntable in excellent condition. It has an Ortofon MC20 cartridge near the end of it's life. I would appreciate some information from anyone who knows something about these TT's.Thanks #5
Hi thereI have been reading a lot about Mana Soundbases recently and wonder if anyone has tried them under Shahinian Arcs. I know that the Arcs little wooden feet are really meant to go on the floor but cannot help wondering what kind of change this...
The other evening I returned to my system, having bedded the sprogs to find that the LH channel was silent. I checked the back of the speakers, OK, I checked on >1 source, all the same. I then turned it all off (except the NAPSC) and left it for 5...
I've just arrived at my sisters house in Australia for a short holiday. Sadly, they are not into good music or electronic toys at all and all they have is a Home Theater-in-a-box Samsung thingy. It's speakers are about 4 inches square and it has a...

I was looking at some reissued Miles Davis vinyl in a record shop the other day and noticed some were reportedly analogue remastered while others digitally remastered. Would a digital remastering of a presumably original analogue recording destroy...
Hi,I have made the mistake of putting my Aro on my LP12 To cut a long story short, I had previously made comparisons between my LP12/Vahalla/Ittok and my Thorens 124/Ittok and much preferred the later, to the point I was considering selling the...
HelloI am currently in the market for some new speakers, having recently upgraded my *old and wobbly* planar 3 to a p25. Amp wise, I am using a mid eighties combo of a nac 42.5 and a nap 90. My current speakers are a nasty pair of mission 771s. Sooo,...

The Flat/Round Earth polarizing of hifi is silly and dated. Naim is not giving in or going "Round". They are maturing, applying experience and new technology to eliminate playback distortions, revealing a more complete, natural musical picture. Great...
Background:A year or so ago I bought a Tom Evans Microgroove and spent quite a while sorting out a mystery hum. Although I think the unit was partially at fault (and was replaced) I found out that it was mostly a combination of earth hum via the rega...
I am new to this forum, so for the past few days I have been reading through some old posts. Some very good topics too by the way. One I come accross quite a few times is about some people having a harsh bright sound with Naim. This was also pointed...
Hi guys,I'm using a NAC72/NAP180 for the last 3 or 4 months now, and suddenly remembered something about board pulling the NAC72, to optimise sound-quality.Now, at this moment I've got my 72 (ser.nr 100xxx) lying naked in front of me, without its...
Hello everybody,After long years of enjoying my NAIT 2, I just got into an s/h NAC 72 and NAP 180 combo. Sounds fine and will probably do even better after heating up a bit. But I have a serious problem with the phono input and the correspondent...
