Hi-Fi Corner
I've just moved house and where my sistem is now placed is almost identicle to the old house (room size and furnishings), apart from the room is now on the third floor and the floor is wooden/carpeted and not concrete/carpeted ground floor. I changed...
I occasionally read posts on here from fans of the "old stuff" (Quad, Rogers, Dyanaco, etc.) but it's rare that anyone mentions Leak.Is the old Leak stuff just awful, or too "round", or what? I've never heard or even seen any of it here on the West...
My wife (and baby) are out! I promised to do some cleaning!! I thought I'd put some music on - LOUD (the bathroom's upstairs and the hi-fi down!!! Boy what fun - volume at 11:00 sure gets the fan on my NAP300 whirring.They'll be home around 4 (it's...
ChapsToday I have taken delivery of a NAT01 which has replaced a NAT05. The NAT05 is now sitting in the secondary system.I have to say that although NAT01's are difficult to locate, they are worth seeking out. They are awsome in their presentation of...
Chaps,I wonder if anyone could comment on what you've found to be the optimum termination for NACA5 at the end that plugs into my speakers.The end for my amp is already terminated using what appears to be a standard Naim termination block. On the...
I have had a CD5 for just under a year now, and it has already been back to naim to fix a glitch.But last night it pretty much stopped working alltogether! A little green light is on mostof the time to the lower right of the screen area, and it just6...
I was thinking of trying a Mana rack in the near future but this somehow puts me off a bit.Steve B
Hello,Without meaning to sound stupid.....! Can I go active with two 180s? this would of course necessitate a change of speakers to the naim variety. I was thinking Alleas? The question is, is it beneficial for me to go for naim speakers thus allowing...
I have just been offered a really good deal on some new NBL's.I currently run active SBL's. I can't afford 2 more 135's and a new Snaxo so I would have to run the NBL's passive with 2 135's.Is there any point asking for a home demo of the NBL's or...
Hi all,Which phono cards work with a NAC 92r? Will standard K boards (NA322?) work?Regards Nathan
I have had my equipment stacked on Fraims for a while now, having changed from multi phased Mana. I have two stacks, one for Snaxo, 52 and CDS2, the other housing the power supplies and 135's. I used to have my LP12 on the top tier of a separate Fraim...
I'm interested in purchasing a used cds2 and am particularly interested in what to look out for in terms of condition of the transport. As a top hat CDI owner I was wondering if the CDS2 has a Nextel ring equivalent. Or is disk slippage a smaller...
The Full MontyI finally got my 57's over to Paul Greenfield at 'Classiqe Sounds' in Leicester for a full service.Turns out that both treble panels were shot (I knew one was way down), so were both rebuilt.They've clearly been stripped right down,...
WHo has any experience with Rega Seperates. There are some pretty good deals available on some older (clamshell) rega seperates going on at Audiogon. I'm hugely impressed with the Elas I have. Anybody have exerience with the Rega seperates, like the...
Hi folks,I'm about to upgrade my 82 to a 52, and have two choices:a) a 1993 model with a control board, display panel update in 2001 (includes black snaic and burndy),or b) a 2000 modelObviously the newer one is dearer than the old one. Does anybody...
Do they work? Any sugestions?#5
After recently being assured I should be getting more from my existing turntable I have been experimenting.After cleaining the pigtails and associated connectors and remounting the cartridge from scratch (no pun intended) and employing a better...
Hithere is an interesting tweak on an 82/sc on ebay. A burndy has been converted to take out signal and supply all 4 regs via the 2 hicap sockets. Is this well known? If not could be worth searching out a S/H burndy for a good upgrade.Regards Richard
since installing my av2 and connecting it to the 52 via unity gain i have a constant buzz which seems to cycle from left to right and visa versa and after a while it does your fu***** head inwhen using the 52 by itself everything works fineany body...
we all know the weakest link in a interconnect cable is the plug (thats why some people solder there cables directly to the circuit board), but i doubt anyone would want to butcher there prized naim equipment, so..what if you opened your din plug and...
Hello All,I've decided to have a go at passively tri-amping my Isobariks, since the RFI problems with the NAXO are driving me nuts.I've spoken to Naim, they said no problems (tri-wiring is what they don't like) and my HiCap has the requisite 3...
This is my first post so please be gentle.I am very happy with my present system (LP12,Ekos,Arkiv,Lingo / CDSII / 82,HC,250, Nautilus 805),but have increasing doubts regarding bass .I think the 805's are a very fine speaker but are a little...
Hello,Does anybody else get this on a lot of recordings?It makes the right channel sound very closed in.Tony
As I will probably have a spare HiCap pretty soon, I was wondering if it is possible to connect an napsc plug and power a 102 with two HiCaps. Any ideas?Regards, Bas
Hi,Anyone have any recall on these speakers? Currently have some for about $350 at my local dealer. I currently have Castle Severn two ways, and am looking for a little more bass. I do have some room constraints, so am hoping for something I could...
