Sorry, I also posted this in the Music Room.But I am interested to know if anyone has heard these speakers. They are similar in concept to my Apogee hybrids but are even more weird in looks. Very low WAF and I will need to plan a long campaign to get...

I've added an extra note to the private SBL topic which you may like to look at.....Computers are supposed to work on 1's and 0's - in other words "Yes" or "No" - why does mine frequently say "Maybe"?......

Has anybody directly compared the performance of the LP12 on a Quadraspire Ref vs Mana Reference Table? I'd really appreciate some advice... I already have a Q4, so the Quad will match aesthetically, but from what I've heard I I have the impression...

Can anyone tell me what is the collective weight of a CDS and its CDPS. I need to ship one and don't have it in front of me to weigh. I'm in South africa, its in England.I've looked on the web manuals with no joy.thanksBruce

I'm thinking of upgrading my Basik LVX to an Ittok.Is it worth it, is the difference that great?How much could I expect to pay for an Ittok?What signs of wear should I look for?Do I have to buy another LP12 with one attached or do people sell them...

My 82 and 250 are olive, but my CDX and Hi-Caps are more dark grey.What happened to consistency?

Hi As a first upgrade to my 202/200 I plan to fit a new NAPSC, later adding a Hi-cap. Are all Hi-caps the same or has the unit been upgraded over the years. Will a second hand cap sound as good as a new unit, any advice on what to look for.

I'm not sure if this topic hs been posted before (I remember one about Naim components with low serial numbers), but I'd be intrigued to know who's got the oldest component in their system.My NAC 62 is 13 years old, the NAP 160 is 16, the LP12 is of...

During the weekly search for used Naim I found on ebay a similar vintage 160 and an olive 2-4 crossover. After pricing out the total cost amp/crossover/hicap/sevice for the above/matching the amps - the total is about $3200 (can) If I were to sell my...

Hi,Has anybody tried Totem's AV speakers? I am interested in their centre channels.Thanks,Will

I've noticed recently that more are more new CDs are slipping during inital start-up in my CDX. What gives ? Are CD standard thicknesses getting thinner so that the puck is bottoming out ? I know it is not the puck, because I replaced it with a brand...

Hi AliI lost touch with you when I changed jobs and lost my old email address. Could you get in touch please.ThanksRaphaelraphael@somethingabstract.co.uk

Greetings. I live in the US and am a recent Naim convertee. I am thrilled with my Naim amplification (202/200) and hope to add a Naim CDP in the next year. Although I only recently became a member, I have lurked around in this forum since the...

My system is CDX2, 150/112/HiCap2, Royd Minstrels, FRAIM, dedicated mains/spur. I have been thinking of upgrading the Minstrels by purchasing new Intro 2 speakers, but the opportunity has just arisen to buy second hand Credos in, I assume, very good...

Had some free time with the kit this weekend (rare these days with four-month old in the house) and did four things:1) Tracked down and corrected an earth loop. The LP12 would buzzzz with the ground wire disconnected and hummmm with it connected. I...

Was just trawling through eBay and I noticed a pair of 328 boards up for auction. I know roughly what they do, but what difference do they make to one's enjoyment of music? Are they a worthwhile investment in, say a 62?Thanks in advanceKevin

Hi there,My nerves are on edge a bit at the moment due toordering a new cartridge with the usual issue of not beingable to hear it or any of its competition. Just wondered if anyone had made this switch and could helpcalm my nerves.I have lived and...

Is there much differance ( sonically ) between a 52\52PS as opossed to a 52\supercap?Would a 52\52PS be much of an upgrade over my NAC 82\Hi-Cap\Hi-Cap?

The inevitable has happened, the record collection has grown and I am considering moving the Ikea Bondes full of records into the corners next to the NBLs. Trouble is, this will decrease the free space either side of the speakers from 42 inches to 26...

Hi I have been given a pair of Gale GS 301 speakers which are set up for bi-wire (2 sets of terminals on the back). To use these speakers with ordinary cable do I just link the 2 pos. and 2 neg. together or is there any other internal connections to...
