Hi all,After checking old posts, I couldn't find a suitable answer to this:How does the chord ANTHEM interconnect compare to the Nordost Red Dawn on a CDS 2 ?I'm currently using the Red Dawn and I like the transperency and detail. After changing...

I'm lookng at jumping into the home theatre idea and would some suggestions on what DVD players I should consider. I plan to use a projector (Maybe Sony lowest price model) and run the sound through my Naim system 52/135/NBLs. At this point I'm only...

Sunday I had the pleasure of listening to the St. Louis Symphony perform Beethoven's Missa Solemnis. Wonderful music performed by a wonderful orchestra!What surprised me a lot though was the sound of the massed voices, especially the sopranos! If I...

Hi guys,I need some help. Could somebody explain to me the exact differences between pace and time?If timing is right pace must be right as well,where's my confusion?Maybe Andrew Randle (as a timing expert) can help me.CheersReto

I know this has been done to death,but recent SBL threads finally encouraged me to change speaker positon.Of course I tried to do it without breaking the silicone seal on the gasket,but pulled on the wrong place when trying a new position.Anyway,I...

Hi All,Quite some time ago I investigated adding on HT to my 72/HiCap/180/SBL's. The best that I heard, and undoubtedly the ideal solution was the AV2/175 combo. However, thoughts at the time were that the picture side of the overall involvement...

Hi everybody!The music and audio bug also bites here in México.After an audition of a naim system in Whetstone audio in Austin, I realized that this was better (music wise) than my AudioResearch Pre and Classe amp system. Finally a purchased...

Hi folks.I'm contemplating selling my Neat Petite III/Gravitas and custom Mana stands and the obvious upgrade choice is the new Neat MFS (or its bigger MF5 and MF7 sisters). Link to more P/G detailsWhat I'm wondering is, has anyone actually heard...

I want to connect my DVD player directly into my Nait. I need a run of cable around 5m and so far have been offered a 5m long Chord Chrysalis (£57), Kimber PBJ (too expensive for me) and one from an TV/AV shop that costs 30 quid. I am also...

I now use Mana stands for my all-Naim system with LP12. Fraims are on order, and I'm looking forward to getting them. To fuel my anticipation, could some of you give me an idea of the sonic changes I can expect.Thanks,Don

I was really looking forward to the review of the 252/300 in the latest addition of HiFi News but having read it I must express some disappointment. The review itself was generally positive about the equipment but that is not what I wish to comment on...

Help! I was working in my listening room yesterday, not playing any music, when I was disturbed by the sound of a radio. I wandered round the house and then out side, but couldn't find the culprit. On returning to my room, there it was again....

Hi there,Does "leaving my hifi constantly on power" really shorten resp. avoid the process of warming up to the point when it sounds best? During the last few weeks I tried this out and realised that it still needs some time till best performance.On...

I am going over to New York in the near future.Can anyone suggest any good LP stores in NY?(rock etc. from the 60's onwards).Richard

OK - this probably amounts to little more than me admitting my own stupdidity, but if only one forum member gains benefit from my experience it will have been worth it.I've had our cable hooked up to the tele and the Nait via the VCR. That is, the...

a.k.a No Willpower.Popped into my local dealer on Saturday to find out if the Linn trade in on cartridges applied to MM. I did have the intention of swapping my aging K9 for an Addickt, but found myself ordering a Dynavector DV20 instead.Oops!It...

Hello, I write to the forum as a disgusted Naim Audio Owner and I look for the opinions of other members. I currently own two NAIM systems, both bought from Gene Rubin (excellent dealer) in LA. I live in the Midwest and there is no local dealer. I...
