i am using amicromega cd player in my second system which had a problem(i have now fixed it)i am trying to find out if they have a website or an email address

I ask the question because of a recent observation. I just "sideways-graded" my equipment support, replacing a hideous hand-made rack with an Ikea thingy, equally hideous sonically, I'm sure, but somewhat more pleasing to the eye. In the move, I left...

Hello all,I have now acquired a s/h LP12 1989 model with black ittock lvII, MC15. This is to go with my 72/hi/140/intro2 setup.Does it matter whether the red connection on the interconnect from the turntable goes to ch1 or ch2 on the 72?CheersTony

HiThis is my first post. I am a Computer Science graduate and kinda want to say something about CD copies that may cause a reaction.BTW I have recieved a NAC72/NAP140 and am enjoying it very much! and now awaiting on a hicap after some advice.I am...

Hi, I have been offered a nait 3 and a CD 3 at a good price, an offer I can´t resist, because I know they can sound wonderful (and I like the minimalistic design). I have never owned a naim before.The question is if the nait 3 will sound...

...but I can't find the right words to narrow down a search. How many folks have matched a Naim preamp with a non-Naim SS amp? I may demo a 202 or 282 in my system to see if I can add a pit of punch (PRaT?) without losing the transparency I now have...

I know some have already discussed the subject but I can only find details of going from active 135 SBL's to passive NBL's and talk of a 500 etc....I currently have 2 x 250's into my SBL's and am interested to hear what anyone may have experienced...

Hi all, The German magazine Stereoplay just published a review of the 282 & HiCap, in conjunction with the new 250. The verdict is rather excellent, with especially the combination of the two units gaining a “highlight”. …Well - of course, we normally ignore any such reviews as utter bull…., except if it’s positive for our beloved & favourite brand of “toys”….!! Regards Urs PS: …..These guys even dare to state, that the 282 & HC is...

Hallo!I´ve just bought a CRT projector which can display 1080p. Now I need a scaler/linedoubler and a new DVD player.Who knows when the naim VS1 and the DVD-player will be available? What will it cost? An alternative is the "Key Digital Leeza"...

But it got here today. (202 - NAPSC - Hi Cap - 250).Thanks to all concerned, at Naim and Basically Sound. Blistering from cold. Very pleased.The pic isn't brilliant, but you get the idea.Here's a tip for you Fraim owners - I decided to take mine right...

Hello all,I'm picking up a S/H LP12 tommorrow and as it's my first I would like some advice. It doesn't come with a box, so what is the best way of transporting it home? And how much does a box from Linn cost?Once it's home, is it going to be OK on a...

Hi,I have a second hand NAC 72 and was told when I bought it that it had been serviced. Is there anyway of confirming this? a date scibbled anywhere or do Naim keep records of amos they have serviced?Cheers

Hi All,Today I became a proud owner of a SH NAC 72 and boy is it a cracker. I was surprised at the improvement over my 32.5 especially PRaT. Theres more air around instruments etc. At the moment I'm using my RCA terminated Kimber cable interconnects...

Thinking of my next upgrade. What upgrade do you think will give me the best overall improvement in sound if I can only upgrade one component?Currently: CDS2 / XPS, 82, Supercap, 180, Shahinian Arc’s.1: Sell the 82 and get a 52 or 282?2: Sell...

I'm interested in what music people would use to assess a system - and why.I remember reading a couple of articles by Paul Benson (?), editor of 'Hi-Fi Answers', explaining how he judged Hi-Fi. Amongst the things was to see who was credited as playing...

Can anyone confirm which are the correct mm boards for a 72 and what is the likely price of them - secondhand and newThanksWillie

Hi,I have Pefix K/Hicap on my LP12. Does somebody know his output impedance?

I love both my LP12 and CD5 in different ways; Lp12 seems more 'lively' and 'musical', The music also seems to fill the whole room more. The CD5 seems to have more solid sound with more 'oomph'. I do notice the CD's have more bass, the vinyl seems...

I see that the retail price of a SNAIC has recently gone up to UKP 70, from UKP 50. Is this a "local aberration", or an official rise?Best;Mark

I'm getting a pop through my speakers when my tumble dryer changes direction (the drum not the dryer!). Bearing in ming the hi-fi and drier are on different floors of the house is this air borne RF interference? If so can I stop it in any way?Brendan

would there be any disadvantages in putting it on top of the screenbearing in mind top of screen is 1.8m ffl plus say 75mm for shelf arrangementthe center is an axent regards neil

People in the know - I need advice.I have 3.5/FC, 32.5/HC/160(180 spec)/SBL's.I was going for the CDX2, without the XPS at this stage, but have come across a bargain pair of old 135's that I am tempted by. I would allow for them to be fully serviced,...

Dear AllI am finally in the position to spend a significant sum (for me) on Hi-Fi. I have a budget of up to £5k. However I am somewhat daunted by the whole demo process.I have read all the magazines, I have bored my (very understanding)...

A dedicated spur would be nice but it’s not going to happen soon so what’s the best way of getting high quality mains to my system? The nearest mains plugs are 3 metres away and at the moment I’m using a couple of PC-type extension leads (i.e. with...
