Hi-Fi Corner

Few months ago, as I had no choice I sold my 102/napsc/140 and got a 32.5/90-a instead. I didn’t like the sound and I wrote about it here, and few members thought that the problem is with the 90-a that can’t drive well the IBLs.Three days...

Hi all.I recently picked up a used (duh!) Roksan Xerxes for my office system. It arrived in very good cosmetic condition and was packed very well. I today received the SME IV arm I had acquired for it. So I installed a cartridge, mounted the arm, put...

Will the Naim dvd-player have an SDI output and the VS1 an SDI input?This would keep the signal as long as possible in the digital domain and would save D/A transformation in the DVD-Player and A/D transformation in the VS1.BTW: i could not find out...

All,Well first of all I'd like to thank Jean Luc at Dimexs and Glen at Audio Two for arranging this one week extended home demo. The 552 has arrived and I am about to pick it up and slot it into my Nat 01/CDS2/52/500/Wilson Benesch ACT 2 system. The...

A used linn axis with akito tonearm has, once again, shown up at my local dealer. I am flirting with buying it if the dealer will come down abit in price, or replace a cracked lid, and if I prefer it to my rega 3. I gather the tonearm tends to be a...

My quest for a naim system for the Castle Winchesters continues.What is the considered opion of thoes that know:A 102 pre amp;with a high cap followed by a 170 amplifier for my Castles?Searching terry

Just a quick thank you to the ladies and gentlemen in Naim’s service department for a very quick turnaround on my Hi-cap service & re-cap. I dropped it into Naim HQ last Wednesday and it arrived back home at 1pm today! Now plugged in and strutting its stuff. Cheers, Steve

I just grabbed an electronic stylus cleaner. Does anyone have any tips on using it, as I have no instructions.Do I just lower the needle onto the vibrating pad? Can I do it dry? Is there any way to reduce the chance of the needle coming off the pad?Cheers

Some time ago I purchased a LP12/Ekos/Dynavector Karat 17D Mk2. Unfortunately, the Dynavector has such a low output voltage (0.23mV) that my K boards in the Nac 72 (Hi-Capped) hardly notice the signal. Consequently, the sound is very flat & withdrawn. I've tried modifying the K board to S board status which only improved matters a little. I was wondering if any members of this forum would be able to advise me on a suitable phono stage for this MC cartridge? The rest of the system is Nap 250...

Last night I opened my new Nait 3 to install phono cards (NA 522 i think). I was very pleased to be be able to listen to my LPs again, but with the Nait assembled again and hooked up to my turntable I heard nothing but strange hard bumps, alternating...

Over the last couple of months, I've heard two systems that use an LP12 on the front end of a "old" style set of amps/speakers.Both systems have sounded positively brilliant on LP.Having said that, I also found both to be very "in yer face" with CD,...

My (approx) 10 year old 140 and hicap are due for recapping.Can anyone describe how the sound will change/improve as a result?The rest of the system is CDX/XPS/82 driving Shanhinian Compasses.(Oh, and how much is it likely to set me back?)Gavin

Bought a refurb Hi-Cap this week and on unpacking it was a rattler.Took off the case today and look what fell out: The HiCap seems to work fine and brings the expected sonic improvement to my CD5 (and then some!).I have been all over the (beautifully...

After reading posts about stands and their ability to improve sound, I searched around and found fraime and mana to be good and much talked about, little did I know they are very very expensive. I have found a company that produces anti vibration...

Have an opportunity to buy a second hand 250 that is twenty years old but had full service and cosmetic upgrade in 2001.What's the general view on the servicing aspect please? Does the servicing effectively make this as good as a second hand two year...

Hi there,Naim said that if the PSU send back to service, it will be as good as new, is it true? Want to hear from someone who had done it before. Can even have the cosmetic change (i.e. facsia or case)cheersMartin

I'm currently thinking of getting a naim amp. For the price of a new Nait 5, what the equivalent s/h olive pre/power can I get? Any thoughts on the subject is welcome. Thanks!
