Hello,I'm thinking of using a QED speaker switch. Does any body know if they degrade the sound at all?CheersTony

Sorry to be dumb but I'm struggling here....NAC102 - I want to plug a non-Naim phono stage into the 1A Din input.I have S boards in place at the moment.I spoke to Naim and was told that I could plug the phono stage directly into the 1A input and leave...

Rumour has it you're itchy footed. Jason's pratting about with undecorating. DC's gone AC. Herm needs entertaining. I've got a Well Tempered and no cheap crappy sub anymore; and no neighbours through May. So, waddya say? Promise no nuclear 'n spicey ...

People out there are afraid of us. What have we done that created a monster in us? Perhaps it's the constant Naim bashing that made some of us becoming a monster? http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/amp/messages/16706.html

I've just had my CD5 chipped today free of charge at my local dealer (Thank you Naim) so I can now play my Copy Protected Discs. But I've noticed a slight change,I've found on listening that the vocals are far more forward sounding with more detail...

Hi WOuld you recommend NIAM 112/150/Cd5 with Naim speakers, such as Intro 2 or Credo, or Non-Naim speakers (i.e. Dynaudio, Epos, B&W, etc)? I was at a local Naim dealer and he played the store demo series 5 with Naim Alleae (spell?)and it was amazingly good. the thing it is little too expensive for my current budget and lookign for a pair around $1000. I found Credo, but not quite sure if the sound would be as nearly good as Naim Allae? I would appreciate if anyone could share thought on...

Anyone know what the best brand of consumer unit is in the US ie Square D, GE or Challenger or something else?

Has anyone tried The Cartridge Man Digital Stylus Force Gauge. If so, do you think it was good value for the money.Brian

Quite simply the best digital source they have ever heard. Even better than all the fancy SACD and DVDA players. Rather worryingly though they seem to prefer it in some ways to the CDS3 which I assume will soon also be reviewed. I seem to remember a...

Hi It's taken ages to save up and I've wanted a Naim system for ages!!!!! ....but I've finally ordered a CD5, Nait 5, Flatcap 2 (extra SNAIC's to power CD5 and Nait 5), Intro 2's & a 5 metre pair of Naca 5 terminated. It'll be a couple of weeks for the order to arrive and be installed by the dealer. .............I can't wait : )))))))) once it arrives, I guess it's going to be a few months before it's properly run in. Is there anything I should be aware of seeing as this is my first Naim...

I'will be connecting my Flatcap 2 to both the CD5 & the Nait 5 shortly -I believe a snaic4 connects outputA to the Nait & a snaic5 connects outputB to the CD5. I have all snaics etc, but one thing that does not seem clear in the manuals is do I connect the Nait 5 to the mains? -surely there is no need as it is being powered by the FC2? (I know the CD5 would have to be connected to the mains, as the FC2 only supplies the analogue section of the CD5)

Hi allCould anyone confirm what leads come with the NAC 52 and What comes with the supercap?Regards Gary

After years of stacking all the kit on a sound organisation tripod, the poor aesthetics and lack of space have finally led to purchasing QS stands:a reference tier for the CDX,pre-amp and tuner and standard tier for the various power supplies.This was...

Hi All, Thinking of getting a headline, and was wondering if it's posible to power it with my Supercap? (82 & the headline at the same time) Cheers, Mark.

Hi Guys, I'm thinking of getting a MK duraplug (without neon & switches) for my next DIY project. I intend to hard-wired the connection inside the distributor. Any kind soul have the circuit diagram for a STAR Connection for the 1 in-coming source & 4 out-going socket? What cables to you guys recommend? REgards Wayne

okay, i know the p2 is a budget deck and i did buy this gear second hand, AND im not exactly an analogue expert...So really i shouldnt be surprised that it sounds like crap!!!the treble distorts and sounds compressed at peaks in the music, and hints...

Good afternoon!My Naim sistem is: CDX/NAC72/NAP140/IBLs.I have bought an olive style HICAP yesterday.Should I add it to the CDX or to the NAC72?Where is more sound improvement to be expected?Have you any experience you can share?Thank you for...

I have been lucky enough to be the lab rat with this new product. Thank you to NAIM and NANA for this experience. The XPS2-T totally transforms the 01.More,more,and MORE of everything!!! My experience with it showed that the 01 has been under utilized...

Desegregate NACA5 With interest, I read in http://forums.naim-audio.com/e...8019385&m=6331958046 “The final tweak was to pick apart the bundle of NACA5 cables (six wide of course) and horizontally desegregate them. “ Does it mean to strip the NACA5 apart? Does it really improve the performance?

I've seen some second hand sbl's come up for sale from time to time & was wondering if my system would be capable of driving them properly (cd3.5, 2 flatcaps, 90/92) My current speakers, little jm lab boxes do sound a little 'boxey', funnily enough. Any advice please would be appreciated, thanx. t

I got the call from my dealer on Thursday that my Allaes had arrived. So, naturally, I had to take Friday off work to pick them up Got 'em home and the wife and I started my breathing in the Salisbury air as we opened the boxes. We visited England...

Hi All,Many of you are now aware of the new S-XPS Burndy which came about from our development work on the recently introduced CDS3.The S-XPS Burndy has now replaced the standard item included with XPS2 units. Owners of the XPS2 with the standard...
