I want to use a non-Naim phono stage with my 102 instead of the in-built S boards.Do I remove S boards, put back the 'through' boards and plug from phono stage into the BNC sockets (in which case, I will need some sort of RCA phono to BNC 'lead...

Chapchachos !My CD5 say P108, which means that I don't have upgraded PIC, it's almost new (november 02'). I am interesting what really happens when you press play and want to listen protected cd on Naim cd player with previous version of software or...

If I have the speakers setup with speaker A on the left balance is set between 11-12 o'clock with speaker A on the right the balance point is about 2 o'clock plus. This speaker does not sound any different to the other just less loud. I had a similar...

Just had a crazy idea, or maybe not so crazy...I remmeber the improvment when changing my magnetic cartridge screws for non magnetic ones.More open organic etc.Since a large part of an LP12 is magnetic (as far as I know the subchassis and bolts,and...

Just wondering if naim is planning to re-release the IXO in the new 5 series look since it seems to still have the old 3 series look from images on the web site. This product is still of some interest especially since the Allaes minimum amplifier...

My VPI normally resides upon a small coffee table and has been seeing steady useage. I must admit to being quite impressed with the result……. However I wondered if the surface upon which it stood could influence how well the record was...

Back in the "old days", it was considered unthinkable to partner the iconoclastic CDS2 with any other pre-amp other than the NAC 52-the reference pairing until very recently. Now the new boxes are here and in a relatively short space of time we have a...

All -Speaker positioning is difficult in the Beatty household due to having a LARGE TV bewteen the speakers. The TV is a 55" Mistubishi projection measuring about 4 1/2 feet across and 2 1/2 feet deep.Any speakers of the quite a few that I have tried...

MuchachosHaving just had the grin factor return to my stereo, I was listening away last night ( Kate Bush ). My mind wandering, I noticed that my left leg, being crossed over my right, was pointing exactly at the right hand speaker. Being a bloke, I...

I recently bought a nac-72 (1999) without the manual. Do anyone know where I can download a copy of the the manual. From Mr. Mike Saelieng website, I realize that the nac-72 included two bnc plugs for converting the rca. Should I assume naim supplied...

I have recently bought a Naim Nait 5. After warming up for about 2 days, I notice some static and popping noise from my speakers when I adjust the volume or the balance (either from the remote or from the front control). If I switch off the unit,...

Well that's about my question.Can you,can you really, can you?views welcomeRegards Richard

During a recent 'unplug everything, plug it all back together session' I noticed that my speaker connections are now very loose with the Naim plugs almost able to just slide out on their own.I have noticed a reduction in the depth of bass too.My unit...

Visited Bob Ritchie at home over the weekend and took over about 30 CD’s for him to listen to whilst he recuperates from sickness. (His musical taste stalled-out in the late 70’s and he desperately needs to catch up).We spent about 3 hours...

I am considering buying a Denon DL103. Does anybody know if this is a good match for a manticore musician armThanksFatcat

I took delivery of my new CDS2 on 28/3/03. I'm experiencing an annoying metalic "ticking" sound every time I walk pass the player. The floor is suspended. The player is on fraim. I was told by Naim, it is normal for the suspension to make such noise.I...

After what seems like an extended break, the Riders were finally back in action last night, following an invite from Alex S. to come and listen to the latest incarnation of his ever developing sistem. With Andy Weekes, and David C, also on the guest...
