Hi-Fi Corner

The number on the back is (NA552-3 B)and on the front in black marker pen is (KL2 So3)????

I know this is a well worn subject and a lot of people are aware of it already but I thought it may be helpful to share my experience. I finally got my mains sorted and am staggered by the improvement!Prorities were:1. Safety2. More music3. Sound...

I was recently talking with a few hifi types. When I mentioned I had a NAIM system, one of them asked me if I mainly listened to rock music as "that's what Naim and Linn are about." He said they had been "since the beginning." Also, a Naim dealer I...

Hi lads! I have recently bought a used nait 3 and I am very pleased with it. Now, the time has come to replace my source (Onkyo 722+ audio alchemy dac-in-the-box). I am considering Cambridge audio D500 SE. What do you think about it. Have you heard...

Hey there, I recently purchased a NAP180 (2000 manufacture) to try out with my also fairly new but well burnt in B&W Nautilus 803s. I've yet to get the rest of the Naim system to match, but instead gave it a long test run with my friend's Nait 5 as the pre, swapping between his Sony XA-3000ES and my NAD C541i CDP. I was impressed with the results, and cited the improvements over the Nait5 on its own. The music was more engrossing, the timing improved, and the speakers seemed to dissapear...

Just a quick connection question from a relative newbie.I have just aquired a Flatcap 2 to go with my existing CD5, 112/150 combo. I also have a headline 2 which is taking its power from the 112 (signal out B). I am now using the flatcap to power the...

Is teh difference between a 120 gram and 180 gram pressing critical to VTA... if so how do you get around this, set it in the middle?Are there cartridges that are less susceptible to VTA than others?Confused

Hi,I have found a possibly great deal on some Linn's. I have looked at the old postings, but am still confused. I have seen photos of the speakers and they appear very large, I assume they are the PMS, Briks. I am wondering about:how big are they...

I am interested in the ol motor upgrade,can i still use my armageddon with this and what parts do i need to order from ol

Does anybody have an internal pic of the nait 5 they'd like to post or send me. Judd

Inspired by Bob Shedlock's post and having installed a new dedicated mains, I thought I'd try different alternatives to the wiremold block.I tried:1. The orange 3-way "current tap" that Bob mentioned2. A yellow heavy duty 12 gauge 2 feet long cord...

Muchachosleaving aside the obvious ( I bought Naim...), what is your single best buy? And why?I would seriously consider the Akiva cartridge as mine. Fantastic grip of detail, much more bass and overall control, noise floor greatly reduced ( how?? )...

Hi. I’m a newbie here having discovered the board only last week. Not sure what the protocols are so I’ll just go ahead and ask for help. My system is based on the classic mid-eighties Linn/Naim kit:...

Hi All I saw this on Ebay and wondered if anyone can enlighten me as to what the modification is that has been done to the burndy and the units?. Thanks in advance http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...762530&category=3280 Yours in Music Syd

Anyone heard this combo? (or CDX with an earlier Nait). Any impressions? Just curiousCheers from Kiwiland, Rob

After my latest used Naim purchase; a NAP250 (which I've discussed elswhere on this forum.) I decided to hook-up a secondary system consisting of my old SNAPS, NAP140, NAC32_5, ARCAM Alpha5+ CDP and a pair of NHT Super One speakers.I then realized...

I must be cursed with the highest percentage of cheap thin CDs or something. Last night I was in a reggae mood, but loads of my Trojan discs were a nightmare to get going, and struggled even when they did get going.I have two pucks, one safely in a...

anybody know the weight of it thanks neil

I am probably asking a biased audience, but has anyone here compared the 5350se to a 112/150 combo? I am using Audio Physic Spark III speakers and an original Planet. I currently own and enjoy a 5350se but my friend would love to purchase it from me...

Hi I just purchased the CD5/112/150 combo.The thing is that I read the forums and read many realted forums in this site. I hate to rapeate what many of you have talked about already, but I like to hear what many of you think of my speakers to this...

Hi,I've just joined this forum so please excuse me if this question - as I suspect it has - has been done to death.I've finally convinved "the missus" that we need to upgrade our old system and we've decided - following various audtions - to go naim...

Hi All,I'm a newbie, after being converted to Naim after falling in love with a CD5. I want to invest in a Nac112/Nap150 but I am concerned the power amp will drive my Monitor Audio Gold Reference 20 speakers. They are nominally 6 ohms with 89db...

And so it came to pass that I lent a hicap to Seagull and mighty glad was he to borrow it with Mrs S beguiled by its charms instantly! SeeThen I saw her faceHowever retrieving it has not been easy…. I went round to pick it up to be greeted with...

Hi forumI just installed two phono boards of the NA323E type into my NAC72.After switching the NAP140 on, I got a loud helicopter sound of at least a Super Puma. It chopped on all source selects, but on phono I could push the volume up to natural...
