I have a pair of Linaeum LFX/C (corian) speakers which I like to connect from time to time. They were purchased in'94 to replace my Spica TC-50, currently forum popular, with reason.The Linaeums offer 2 pair binding posts, with spade connection the...

MuchachosJust managed to get my hands on a set of the Ku Stone supports for my Kabers. First impressions are that it seems to make my old speakers sound as if they are a model higher than they where. More bass, clearer treble and a nicer sound. Rare...

I just purchased a pair of Shahinian Obelisks for $150.00 US:my obelisksSo, ok, they need repair:quote:One woofer is blown/does not workStill, even if repairs are several hundred dollars, I think I got a deal.Now, the dilemma... I'm sure my Nait 3...

Greetings All,As I now seem to be making a few tentative footsteps into the heretical arena of Home Theatre, re an 'add on' to my Naim system, I will need to start considering the addition of a sub woofer.It seems to be an area fraught with some...

Hi AllI believe this question has been asked before but I can't find it. Without any labels how do you differentiate between K or S boards on a set of 523/1 phono boards. I think there are component differences but how do you tell. Solution to problem...

Here's a quick question. How would my 112/Hicap/150 make out driving Shahinian Arcs? My source is exclusively a cd5/flatcap.Thanks,Bruce

Hello All, Is there any consensus on an alternative to Nac5 that is easy to hide under the carpet for quite long runs & won't blow your amp up? Regards Darren Cotter

Current system is 82/hicap/250 fronted by Meridian 500/563 and with new SBLs ordered. As a next step I am considering either:late 2nd hand supercap - £1700 approx, orsnaxo, hicap and another 250 to go active - £2000 approx.Which is the...

Thanks people for your recent responces re listening room design information; that helps me. I should have clarified that when I said I was designing a "dedicated music room" I meant that more than the stereo will be in it; the piano (5'-3" grand)...

Hi all!Is there anyone who knows if the "separate box" technique used by Naim to build their speakers is (or has been) used by other manufacturers? Somehow it looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it before.I'm very interrested in how this...

An electrician from the power company came over today to unhook something on behalf of said power company. Turns out he's an inspector also.Anyway...I asked what would be involved in running a seperate 30amp line to the living room. Turns out that...

The previous owner of my s/h LP12 has found the cueing device which he removed from the Ittok and forwarded it onto me so my thanks to him.Whilst I appreciate that it may or may not improve sound quality, I really need to fit it as I have never been...

My current system carries out double duty as Home Theater and Music and consists of Sony TAE & TAN 9000ES processor and power amp with Definitive Technology BP2000 speakers + active sub in each tower + Def Tec surrounds. It's great for HT but I'm bored listening to music on it .... it sound slow and the Def Tech bass is very deep but vey flabby. I've been viewing this forum for a few weeks now to glean info on changing my present system back to an English sounding system (I lived there in...

Hello to all!I am trying to decide between two (2) used Naim NAP250's... One is a 2001 model for $1725.00 (U.S.) and the other is a 1996 model for $1075.00 (U.S.) that has been re-capped last year (2002)Are there any design/sound differences between...

Hi Folks!In order to stack my system I've constructed my own rack. Í like the Naim Fraim, but I think it's quite expensive and maybe a little over the top for my modest setup.My rack is made up out of 5 triangle shaped pieces of 18 mm birch...

Hi folks, heard the new gear for the first time today and must say was mightily impressed. I thought i was listening to the CDX2 202 250 and bloody good it sounded to, until i was told that it was the 200 amp that was connected.On another note, you...

anyone heard this pair of speakers?I´d like to have a opinion because I´m looking for new speakers . Epos cost 600 Euros and Royd 900 Euros MY system : Naim Nait 5 amplifier,Naim CD 5,B&W 601 speakers,Naca5

I'm looking to upgrade my stand from the Sound Org 5 tier stand I have now. My question is would I get more benefit from moving just the CDP and the PREAMP to the new stand, therefore creating a bigger distance between power and control components and...

I have finally taken delivery of an ex-dem 102/180 combination to replace my Majik-I - it was worth the wait.I am now enjoying the music - so much more of everything but in particular a sense of drive. This makes me wonder what more can be achieved...

I recall reading that Naim would supply a replacement box and stamp it with the original serial no. for a modest sum. Cant find it though using the search facility. Does anyone recall the cost of this?

I am in the enviable position of designing an addition which will contain a dedicated music room. Dows anyone know of good books or other resources on the subject that you care to recommend? Thanks. Kurt.

any opinions on which sounds best

Further to some questions I asked a few weeks ago I did an experiment on interconnect. From my Snaxo to power amps I removed the Naim cable and installed Run IN Linn analogue (re-terminated as required)( I personally like the Linn cable as...

Could nayone tell me what connector is used between the NAP 500 and it's PSU, and if they can be bought from anywhere (Naim included).I'm looking to use a couple as a connection between an offboard PC ATX PSU and a breakout box inside the PC.Cheers...
