After only recently stating that it is no more upgrades, what happens- Tom Evans goes and makes an upgraded Groove called the Groove Plus, at a snip of £3500 and its meant to sound unbelievable. The Groove I have has been in place for about 18 months...

Need some opinions (never a shortage on those. )Anyone tried the above combo? Would a naked CDX2 be a good match with 282 (dealer only has a 202?) Or don't bother if one doesn't intend to add an XPS2?cheerstim

Frank- I hope you will read this as well as others familiar with the setup of these speakers.1) How far from the wall should the speakers be placed, measured from the back of the speaker? O have a good deal of free space (into the room free space) to...

The listening area of my L shaped LR isd 12 x 13 feet. It opens at the back to a dining area. I can place the speakers 50" to 60" from the woofer to the wall behind them and about 6 feet apart . I dislike boomy bass. My room holds onto bass, but as I...

I'm interested in hearing others opinions about whether different brands of blank cd-r's exhibit different levels of performance. For example, in your experience do some brands tend to skip more than others? I ask because I *think* so but am not...

I hooked up my new Nait last night and the early returns are quite favorable. My question is if there is an optimal level that I should set the programmable gain to. If I increase or decrease the level will it have any affect on sound? I experimented...

Hi folks.I'm looking to consult the legendary RR of Montrose for advice re: setup and trying to arrange an Armageddon/Lingo2 demo, and I've just composed a nice email to find out that the email address I have (robert.ritchie@btinternet.com) doesn't...

What´s the difference?MY system : Naim Nait 5 amplifier,Naim cd 5 ,Epos M 15 speakers,Naca5

I should probably wait a week or two before I post this but I’m in “panic mode” and need a bit of chat to cope. A bit of history first. In “95-96” I upgraded my 32.5/HiCap/ (2) 140’s to a used 52/52PS and demo 250....

Ok so I've finally been for a CDS3 demo.My home system is CDX/XPS 82/SC 135s SBL's, the demo system was 282/Hi/new250/SBL.I took along my CDX and XPS so we could try a few different combinations.So first combination CDX/XPS 82/Hi/250/SBL. The main...

I just received the new SXPS Burndy to use between my XPS2 and CDS2. Is there any way to speed up the burn-in procedure on this cable? I've left the player running on repeat for the past 24 hours, figuring the cable needed to have a signal going...

A friend has on home dem the cds3.Went round this afternoon to hear it.System is 552/500/allthegoodies/nbl/fraimhe previously had the cds2.I can say quite catagorically that the 3 is way ahead of the game compared to the 2. It is so unlike the 2 as to...

Hi there, Need some infor from you guys, I try to search on the net, but could not find the price for snaic5 anywhere. I believe the old one is grey and the newer one should be black, am I correct? I always got it from the original packing, but...

Sorry to start yet another topic on this subject but I didn't want to hijack the SBL vs SL2 thread.A question for Tom Alves really. What size are the MDf bases you have under your SBL's. And how do you orientate your 3 screws in the floor (2 at back,...

Since upgrading my power amp to a pair of 135's, my poor 32.5 pre has been turned down again while using the tuner input for the CD player. The volume pot is hovering at the "barely on" notch. It has come to the point that I either need to fix this...

HiRecieved back my 52 from service 3weeks ago(new pot board as well)I have owned a 32/42.5/72/82The 52 is the first one that doesn't fully mute when the vol is turned to 0. Music is still audible (but very quiet obviously) from 5m away(room size).Also...

Hi folks. Does anyone know if it's possible to get a lighter counterweight for the Aro - either from Naim or third-party? My cartridge is a little too light for the Aro - with the counterweight racked all the way in, I'm just achieving semi-balance...

Am rather new, so go easy. I have spent a while lurking and "reading-up" on the forum, before asking a specific question.I have recently listened to CD5/202/200 and was utterly enthralled by the music I heard. It did everything good that I expected...

Hi allI got a SH Exposure X today for use in a bedroom sistem. Originally wanted a Nait 1 or 2 but saw this on Ebay and had a go and picked it up for £127.00 plus Postage. Has the box but no manual. Slotted it into the second sistem, A cheapo...

Hi folks.I've been trying with some success to mate my Clearaudio Sigma Gold MC to an LP12/Aro, but am coming to the conclusion that the match is never going to do either the Aro or the cartridge justice - due mainly to a combination of overhang and...

From which serial number has Keilidh got the veneer on the front? The earlier models had a grey front (lower part)./LarsIt Kan be done!
