Up-grading “sideways” I’m aware, it’s a much-debated topic recently: How good is the new NAIM gear compared to the older series.Specifically: Have any of you done a comparison between the 52/SC and the new 282/SC2 (or XPS2 ? if...

USAToday - Copy Protected CDs - Hacked!!!I wonder if this fix to the disks would render them playable without fault in a Naim CD player that does not have the updated software?- GregBInsert Witty Signature Line Here

My current system is an Arcam Alpha 7 CD player, Alpha 7 amp on a Sound Organisation rack and floorstanding Mission 752 speakers. Although I'm pleased with this system I'm ready for a change and would like to see/hear what's currently available. I...

Was round a non-naim friends the other day - having a laugh at his system, although he thinks mine (or naim gear in general) is poop.Anyway i was interested as to his decor, more in terms of rugs on walls - behind his rack and speakers, and other bits...

Does anyone out there know anything about a UK company called TomTom Audio. I see them advertising a lot of Naim gear on other sites.I'm looking at buying some used stuff from the UK but of course would like to know a little about whoever I buy from.

Hello All,I'm about to get a new cartridge for my Xerxes/Artemiz and had settled on the Dynavector 10X4MK2. I have just heard from a friend in Japan that it has just been discontinued and replaced with the DV10X5.I've had a look at the Dynavector...

Hello All,The upgrade path has recently lead me into the land of diminishing returns. Most of my gear is secondhand and has been relatively affordable. Previous upgrades cost me around ukp500-1000 per box but newer upgrades will be at least double...

Can anyone tell me how to connect a Supercap to a CD5 ? Is it from Socket 1 of the Supercap to the input on the CD5 (link plugs removed) next to the output going to the preamp ? Does the CD5 still have to be powered through its mains ? TIA [This message was edited by JosephR on SATURDAY 22 March 2003 at 14:29.]

I would like to upgrade from my ageing Ruark Talisman's. To go with Densen Beat CDP, LP12 and my new Naim 200 & 202. I don't mind going back to stand mounts, If neccesary. I have a budget off £1500 ish. Can't really say about room size as we are about to move.

For almost 3/4 of a CDXII, you can get a Ikemi.Have any of you out there compared these two CD players.MatsSagitarius in aeternum

Does anyone have any advice about the choice of a center speaker to match a pair of Arcs in an AV set up. A single super elf would be too expensive and have been considering Mission 77C1 or C2 or maybe the Dynaudio audience 42C. Brendan

Hey...What are your general thoughts on the addition of the above to a Valhall'ed deck?What's the seeming improvement to the sound of the LP12?Thank youAll opinions are solely my own and not forceful in any nature.

I moved house just before Christmas and since moving I can't get my system to sound right - the bass has dissapeared and the overall sound is harsher with almost no soundstage. The system compises LP12/Cirkus/Lingo/Aro/Klyde on a QS Reference...

A group of friends and I were invited to a kids party for lunch today. I noticed a very old looking NAIM system in the room and some strange looking speakers.I asked the lady of the house if I could turn it on. (Her husband was offshore) The speakers...

Basically because I wanted to shorten them a bit (the wall outlets are about 50 cm from my new Mana 3 tier) I twisted the mains cables of my Armageddon, Nait3 and CD3. Boy, was I in for a surprise! The effect was simply STUNNING (if you forgive me the...

I like my sbls and want keep them permanently. They are some 8 years old and came S/H.However, there is an option of changing the mid/low driver for a newer version. Would you describe (and evaluate) the difference? All opinions are well-comed.graphoman

Hello,How long time do you let your system on ON ?Personnaly, I never use ON/OFF button but the light (Nait 5 - CD 5) is very important in the dark No "Display OFF" facility ?Another question, how can I display time option on CD (I didn't find button...

I'm waiting (semi-patiently), for you lot to get your CDS3 at which point I'll pick up a CDSII cheap as chips (I wish). In the meantime I found this review online.Reviewed by: Jizz Mopper, AudioPhile, from Derby, EnglandSummary:Naim equipment must be...

Anyone heard this headphone amplifier from Pro-ject Audio and maybe compared it to the usual suspects like the Rega Ear/Headline/Creek? It looks quite reasonable at around 140 quid.cheersBruce
