Hi-Fi Corner
Hello everyone this is my first post on this forum and I would like some advice.I am going to upgrade my Cd player and speakers. My current system is a Micromega stage 1, Naim NAC92/flatCap/NAP90, and the speakers are Linn Helix. My budget is about...
Any recommendations out there on how to clean a dirty LP12 platter (fingerprints, etc.)?
Seem to remember reading somewhere that either or both of the above have been tweaked/improved since launch.Even if the opinion is "that it's not worth worrying about", has anything changed?!!! There's always money somewhere for the next upgrade... !!!
Hello everyone,I've been lurking in this forum recently with great interest as I contemplate my very first Naim system: CD5/Nait5 (auditioned) or CD5/112/150 (may audtion). I currently use bookshelf ProAc spkrs on stands.I'd like some help on the...
HiI have three spare CDS pucks that are no longer of any use to me (upgraded to CDS2), I'll gladly put them in the post FOC to anyone who could use one. Two have one rubber contact piece and the other has two. Chris
Last week i've got the chance to try SL2 active with 2*250 (new).The sistem was:CDS3+252+old NAXO 2 (recapped)+supercap+2*250+SL2That's a different speaker, a lot more PRAT, autority (comparable to NBL passive), more bass (NB !) and much tighter, and...
Hi Folks,Anybody had any experience with these speakers? From their description it sounds as if they should image as well as scale because they are very narrow (22 cm) but pack two whopping 10' woofers along the side. There's little info on VA on the...
I've been having the pleasure of a CDS3 home trial this weekend & jolly good it is too. However I've come a CD or two that would happily play on my CDX but refuses to spin up on the CDS3. Can you get a stronger grip puck from Naim to cover this? Jeff
Hi,I have a (i.e. one!) FC2 which I am using on my CD5 and NAIT5. I know that on the CD5 it powers the o/p stage and on the NAIT it powers the preamp section, but I've not read much - if anything - on how best to use the FC2 in this kind of...
My faith in the forum is getting scary as I ask all you helpful people...Have you heard of Bybee? A geezer wot does soundproof windows (a sad story which will hopefully soon have a happy ending) came round to my house yesterday and when he saw my kit...
A friend told me that he recently re-clocked his Rotel CD player. He ordered the parts somewhere (forgot the name of the brand). He told me that it improved his CD player a lot. So, I was thinking what if I re-clock my Naim CD3 also? Do you think it...
Help, Help, Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1Iam lost in cable voodoo hell. I know, I need a cable, I just do not know what is is.I am having my NAIT3 upgraded to take a Flatcap but still function as an intergrated amplifier. To this effect I apparently need a...
Hello Richard,Just wondered if we could get a progress report.thanks,dave
In regard to the new 'classic' range, Naim in their literature have put great emphasis on the new chassis and feet design. The power amps are radically different in design but the preamp/power supplies are more subtley tweaked in componentry terms it...
Can someone tell me how do I connect Flatcap2 to CD5 and 202 Preamp? What type of interconnecting cable (SNAIC4 or SNAIC5) should I use?
So I finally have my Aro to join the LP12 and Armageddon, only the stand and cartridge are missing... here's my dilemma:I have an 82 with MM cards, is an MM cartridge wasted on the LP12/Aro, or will it still give the CDX/XPS a run for its money?I am...
recently moved my system what's this ssibilance it was'nt there before.thank's love for helping me move my system and helping me to re-wire it up but the sss noises are bloody annoying, are you sure you put the ic's back correctly[her doing her bit because i have a back problem]yes love i am sure. so after messing with cable dressing then checking the mains swopping top spikes on my stands still no joy ssssssssttttttttt. then i managed to get down and check the ic's 1 correct chorus 1 with...
Whats the next logical step? A Super Cap for my 82 ( I have one Hi Cap on it now) or a XPS for my CDX? Both are around the same price s/h. They go to a 250, MA Studio 50's. Thanks for any opinions. Ted.
Hello all,Well, I'm not much of a tweaker, but a new washer/dryer installation has given me the oportunity to put in a dedicated 20A spur to the sistem. Should go in later this week. While I'm a little dubious, the additional cost was minor, and so I...
Has anyone had the B-400 Plus mod done yet on their Densen Beat CDP, as mine has to go back to Denmark next week, to fix the display misbehaving. And was wondering wether to have the mod done seeing as it was going back to the factory. I suppose its...
Hi there, hope someone will help me out here:I've just sold my mm-boards to a guy in England. I used them in a 92 and he's using them in his 92R. Only thing is all he's getting from the phono input is a loud "Bumping"sound. He says they are definitely...
Decided to borrow a Nait 5 to go with Arcam Alpha 9 CD & Credos. Compared to my Myryad MI-120 (£700) it was nothing short of stunning in terms of instrument timbre, definition, bass control, managing any complexity, the list goes on. The soundstage was noticeably much less defined, to the point I was toeing in the Credos to point at me to hear that extra detail. I guess speaker positioning (not just toe-ing) could be optimised once the correct amp was installed! Question is, does the...
MuchachosAlmost there....when going from 82/Supercap to 52/Supercap, what can I expect ( apart from a dented bank account? )RegardsMikeOn the Yellow Brick Road and happy
Hi guys!After bidding on Ebay on a couple of CDX's, I have gotten two weird e-mails. Both offered me a CDX, brand new in the box very cheap (UKP 750 and UKP 900). The first person told me that he got it from a friend who worked at the financiar police...
