Hi guys, I was just wondering what was the good price for a 120xxx's Nac52 without supercap.Thank you.Happy listeningCharles

Hi everyone.Recently I've been planning a speaker upgrade, and at some point in the future I'm planning a preamp upgrade. I've been talking with the wife about all of this and she posed the interesting question "how good does the hifi have to get?". I...

I've read often on this forum certain negative comments reharding the new Rega Ela loudspeakers, ussually in comparison to the MKI and MkII iterations. I'm interested in knowing specifically what wasn't liked about the new Elas in these circumstances....

Hi everybody! I am going to buy the NACA5 speaker cable since it suits me just fine. Could anyone share one's knowledge with me as to the minimum length of the cable. I am planning to buy 2 metres of it. Is it worth stretching my budget to afford 3.5...

Hey there, I'm looking to make a considerable upgrade from my B&W CDM7 (S1) speakers, which I currently use in conjunction with a Naim NAC92/NAP180 system, I've singled out two prime candidates (Neat Petite 3s with Gravitas Isobaric bases or B&W Nautilus 804s), but would like some opinions on them before I go to audition - which of the two would you guys go with? And of course I'm open to suggestions of other fine speakers around the £2500 mark! Many thanks in advance! Best regards,...

I've experienced some problems with a new copy-protected CD (Rosanne Cash) -- my CDS2 skips about 10 seconds into each track, then carries on playing. This hasn't happened on any other CD, and this particular CD plays OK on another (non-Naim)...

Hi there,going through some other topics, I was wondering whether people upgrade regularly or whether they can resist the upgraditis bug for a long time. As far as I am concerned, I must have changed a component every other year since I have been into...

Passing Audio-T in Brighton last night (Friday 11th April)to see an SBL box in the window with a notice saying they have in stock Black & Walnut SBL's. They must have bought in the last ones. £1500. Go get!!!

Does the change make a marked difference? If so, am I better to wait until I change my cartridge and do both together?TIA,Jay

Does anyone have any opinions about Monitor Audio speakers? We don't hear much about them here. Someone is selling a pair of Studio 20's. How might they go with my 112/Hicap/150?Thanks,Bruce

Could you tell me what phono cards I would need for a Clearaudio Victory? would it be the same as the ones I use for my Klyde?Cheers.

Hi all i recently purchased a Rel stadium 3 sub and it is connected with the supplied lead to the output of the amps speaker terminals(135`s) The right channel amp has the +/-(red/black)of the lead going to the Rel as stated in the set up guide and...

Ordered the New style headline from my dealer about six weeks ago but havent heard anything yet. Has anybody else got their mitts on one of these yet, if so how does it sound???

Anyone know what colour the SL2's are on the Naim website and in the summer 2002 newsletter?Many thanks NB

Present system is all slimline 3 series; CD3.5 + Flatcap, 92 + Flatcap, 90, Epos M12's with Naim interconnects/cables.I would like to go 'big box' Naim - so what can you guys recommend for approx £4.5k? Cheers,DavePS: I intend to keep the M12's

Hi Y'all,I've got a question about recapping, that's probably been asked somewehere before but still... Here's my situation:Currently I own a NAC72 from 1994 and a NAP180 dating from late '96.(I also still have my Nait-2)If I'm correct a power-amp...

I am running a Hicap between my 112 & 150 and am very happy with the result. However I keep wondering why I have all these spare outputs on the Hicap since it can only supply power to one source? A small point the 1st signal output socket (next to the input) has power as well as signal on it. If I use it it lights the NAIM badge on the 150 for me. Is that beneficial compared to just sending the audio signal from an umpowered output? love to know the answers GEOFFP

I am in the process of purchasing a new 252 pre amp which I beleive does not come with an input for phono's.My turntable is a Roksan Xerxes/Artemiz/Shiraz and I was wondering what is going to be the best match for the 252 pre-amp?Any ideas where I...

I am in the market for a pair of Kans and notice Kan 1s mainly on sale on e-bay. I can't find a thread that discusses the differences in musicality / performance between the differnet vintages. Can anyone shed light. Form what I can gather dedicated...

OK chapsI have £500 to spend. £100 or so of that is going on getting the LP12 serviced (it hasn't been looked at for nearly 6 years). The weak link in my analogue front end is tthe cartridge (K9). I have a pair of 323 boards, so I could...

Hello.I have a CD 3.5 which is hicapped (bought 2nd hand in need of servicing - in the process of arranging), a nait 3 and credos. My next purchase will be a 2nd hand power amp and convert the nait to a pre-amp. So I would like to hear your opinions...

Lads,Just a quickie to see how you guys have set up yours, as i've yet to do mine. To let you know I have a very uneven wooden floor and am waiting for longer spikes to arrive before I can set them up.I interested to find out if any of you have set...

Any opinons on this cartridge, I`ve just had one fitted to my Ekos & I must say I`m not impressed. Light bass, musically uninvolving & lacking in dynanics. The whole presentation sounds bland, certainly not the cartridge I heard at the dealers which flowed & was involving. Kit used was LP12/Ekos/Lingo Mk2/Linto, Audiotech support, 252/SC/250 B&W 805 sigs, I have 2yr old 52/SC old 250 (upgraded) Mana reference support for LP12, everything else is the same. I thought that there would be a vast...

As a relative newcomer browsing this forum for a couple of months now I have noticed there is a rapid and negative response from forum denizens as soon as the subject of VFM is raised in relation to Naim gear. It's like a "dirty word" on the forum.Why...
