Hi,My 250 is approaching the 11 year mark and I was wondering what to do with it.I'm not sure whether to send it in for servicing or start looking for a new model.As I've not had the opportunity to hear a more recent model, is there much of a sonic ...

I have a Nait 3R and just bought a 150: big improvement in bass and dynamics and now I'd like to upgrade from my Nait 3R (which I'm using as a preamp).There seem to be a lot of 102 and 82 for sale used with the digital power supplies, will a 102 be a...

I'm convinced that a nice, warm cozy listening room is vital to listening pleasure on 2 counts:1. Warm, coziness induces a feeling of warm coziness and well-being. When I'm warm and cozy I can forgive the odd pod boom.2. Equipment left on and nice and...

I've been reading a lot of the posts on this forum and the Linn forum and I keep seeing references to newer Linn equipment using "Bright Switched Power Supplies". The blurb seems to imply that they have now done away with any need for add-on power...

Hi,Do pre-amps come with SNAICS or is it power amps/supplies onlyCheersAde

Yesterday while having a peek under the grill cover of my doublets I was alarmed to notice that the soft rubber drivers are leaving a black smudge on my finger when I touched them. It is almost like they are deteriating-I dont think they were doing...

Hi,Currently i'm running a cdx/82/180 into epos 22's (soon to be a ninka). Recently, i've been considering swapping my old cdx for the new cdx2. However, many have mentioned (including my dealer) that the new series sounds so much cleaner and times...

When I purchased my s/h Nait 3, it came with a Chord Cobra RCA (source) to DIN connector, green color with silver RCA connectors. Also, it came with a "generic", unmarked powder blue RCA (source) to DIN. Unlike the Chord, which is a "single" cable,...

Ladies & Gentlemen, I am proud to announce that I have discovered a cure for the illness known as 'Upgraditis'. It is called redundancy. Reluctantly have to let the hi-fi go to keep roof over head. Will return to the Naim fold as soon as funds allow! And with something better of course. Damn, just disproved my own discovery. G Check pink fish.

My current set up is a 202+PSC/150 with CD5 and Sondek as sources. My speakers are old and not in the same league as the rest of the system. I am therefore looking at the next upgrade.With a tight budget due to a recent house move I need to decide on...

Just got my copy of "The Audiophile Voice" - usually a sad reminder that The Listener is no more.However, this month there was an article about playing 78s by George Graves.He made an interesting assertion that you can turn a stereo cartridge into a...

Perhaps someone from Naim, or anyone, more versed in electronics than myself, can allay some concerns that have been lurking in my mind for some years now.The SNAIC interconnects carry DC power and (AC) signals. I have concerns over interaction...

Hi All,As I wrote in a previous post, I'm now a 'happy camper' with the addition of a Sony pre-power AV processor/amp to my 72/Hi-Cap/180/SBL's for the purposes of adding HT capability.The unit is running in, and producing some very engaging sound re...
