I thought I might as well give one a try, not that I was unhappy with my LP12/Aro/Lingo, far from it. What I was expecting was better defined instruments, more detail and separation, greater dynamic range, less wow and flutter, less groove, speed and...

How is a cds and power supply nowadays as compared to a bare cdx. Or would a cdx and xps be better by nowadays standards. Thanks Ted

Hi all:I've noticed that, with 'phono' selected ('S' boards), when I use the remote to change the volume or balance on my 102, my Credos' mid/bass drivers oscillate at a very low frequency with an amplitude of about 5mm. I assume this is a result of...

TwelveeyedfishPosted: 20 April 2003Last Updated: 20 April 2003
The CD2 is never mentioned on here, I was curious if some of you more old skool naim freaks had anything to say about it. I'm a fan of the old skool but I find the 3 series kind of the oldest I'll go just on principle - ie it's not old! I wonder if I...

I've just had an Ittok (& DV 10X5) fitted to my LP12. Sounds great. Only problem is, after getting home, I realised that the arm height is set so low that the arm lift doesn't lift sufficiently. I've never been great at manual cueing, and I would be useless if beer entered the equation. Is it something I could adjust myself to save the palaver of traipsing down the dealers? I am eyeing that grub screw, as I'd guess thats how I could loosen it. I am utterly hamfisted, should I leave it alone?
