I've just borrowed a 32.5 to play with (thanks Malcolm) and would like to try my LP12 with it.Problem being, the phono plugs on the end of the leads do not go into the BNC connectors on the pre amp.I have had a look at the maplins and farnell sites...

I am pretty sure it's a 1.2mm key (please correct me if I am wrong), but can I find anywhere that sells them? I've traipsed around umpteen toolshops, searched the web, but nothing. Everywhere has 1.5, but no 1.2. Anybody got a source?

I have recently added a HiCap to my fairly recent 102/180 combination. The HiCap has proved to be a significant leap forward. My question is - what benefits am I likely to gain by adding a NAPSC? ie will it bring about another noticeable...

As a new proud Nait 3 and CD 3 owner I have some questions.I know the equipment should always be on power to get the best performance. But are there any functional problems if I turn it on only when using it, like I have always done with other...

Or so it would seem. Anyone seen the latest "Absolute Sound"?Apart from it being Editors Choice, they say about Nait 5:The Nait 5 is something special. It delivers such a large slice of what high-end audio is about, so much musical pleasure, that more...

I have recently heard that my nearest dealer "Auditorium" has gone out of business which saddens me as I was more than happy with my dealings there. This is the third dealer I have dealt with (in 10 years) to go down: - starting with Studio 99 in NW6,...

just that I've got the opportunity to purchase a 2nd hand one at a fairly good price 2nd hand... (these are £300 new!) I'm using the new Naim 5 series bits & have tried a Chord Solid which is the recommended cable to use with Naim stuff (well from the chord range anyway). The solid I felt gave an overly rich mid range, so that certain female vocals were a little coloured. There was a bit more detail, but it didn't match quite as well as the standard Naim (read Chord Chrystalis) cable...

Things have been going great with my Naim. So last night while moving my kit to a new stand I started getting static through my speakers. I quickly narrowed it down to the Grey Snaic end going into my 140 and had to power down. Is the ground sheath...

Is it possible to bridge a pair of 135 so as to get one powerful mono amp? If so, how can it be done? -- Pierre

Hi there,Reading all this very positive feedback about NAC 552 I really have to ask myself how good is a 252 then? I'm about to order a ScapII and later a 252 hoping that might be the one product I need to have. Maybe it's the 552 I really need to...

Still a relative Naim newbie and learning the tweaks of the trade (to which there seem to be many), i was thinking about things that might effect sound quality that i could change without spending any money (as after buying Naim kit you dont get much...

From browsing the forum it would seem that people are getting good results from Neat Mystiques and Naim Intro 2's with my set-up (CD5, Nait 5, Flatcat 2, NACA5). Does anyone know of a dealer within reasonable distance of Oxford that stocks both for...
