Hi-Fi Corner

The M*n* wing is getting excited over the effect of double glass (two layers of glassinstead of one per shelf), especially so for the sources. Anyone tried this with Fraim?

Howdy Y'all,At this moment my system comprises a CDX, Nait-2 into Kan-1's on Kan-II stands.(I ordered the stands early this week and got 'em delivered this morning )Now, it's not that I already have plans for upgrading/selling again,but I was just...

Has anyone tried placing your speakers diagonally, i.e. with one speaker on either side of a corner? What were your findings?Niclas3.5/92/fc/90.3/Totem Arro

Why are people on this forum comparing 552/500 systems to 52/135's? This is like comparing a Lexus 400 to a Toyota Camry. It's no surprise the the 552/500 smokes it. The SL2 are better than the SBLs. Is this a big surprise? They are double the price!I...

I ahve recently noticed on a couple of occasions during the last coupl of weeks that my sistem souned S#~t.The sound was distorted, like a cheap hifi playing too loud, almost like the drivers were rattling in the enclosures.On other days it has...

Greeting All! My first post here! Lol, it only took me three years to do it as I have been lurking here for a long time; but I could really use some opinions/suggestions. My current setup is: CDX/102/Hi/Napsc/180/credos.I have seen a number of...

Whilst checking over my TT I noticed the static balance on my Ittok is high at the front. I am assumimg it should be level. Question how do you adjust this? Is the counter balance clamped with a grub screw?Many thanksHoward

When I last bought a TT some 10 years ago I could not afford an LP12 and settled for an Axis. Having being bitten by the bug again, I recently started trolling through the links and ads and found a 45*** s/no LP12 with Mk1 LV11 and a few further mods...

jag söker fortfarande efter ett försteg naim 72.Om en 62 inte är en större skillnad så kan jag tänka mig en sådan.Detta är ett mellanting för att senare köpa mig en 82.Jag vet att kent på...

Just been thinking, while doing the washing-up and listening to The Doors at max volume, about the more notable comments people have made about my system.The first that springs to my mind is a friend walking up the stairs in my villa in Saudi while...

Any advice on who does a good job refurbing Troikas in the UK gratefully receivedJeremy32.5, 2 active 250s and keileidhs

My LP12 (ARO, Armageddon) was sounding rather bright over the weekend so I decided to check my setup. The pillar assembly was coated with oil that made it's way down collar hole effectively coupling the pillar to the collar. I cleaned off the oil and...

Hi guys,Was wondering if passive 180s biamped would be a better solution tonally compared to a single 250?Also, if I were to go the former, going active would be my second goal...rather than single 250 to active 250s..Thank youAll opinions are solely...

Hi there,I'm considering to do this (major) step (at least the price difference is major). I'm interested to learn about your long term experience (not just the improvements while demoing it). I find demoing rather difficult and it does never reveal...

I am presently running a 102/90 combination and am a little confused regarding the use of a napsc and a hicap.Will my 102 take a napsc or a hicap and what are the sonic differences?If I understand correctly if I was to move to a 250 then it(the 250)...

I am interested to know if other people would agree with me in saying that compact discs sounding better than ever before. It appears that the major record labels are finally learning how to transfer analogue to digital. My main interest was always...

I purchased my Linn Sondek LP12 1982. I purchased a Ekos arm & Troika cartridge 1988. And I had the Valhalla conversion done about that time. My question is what should I be contemplating doing now to get the full benefit from the deck, as I have just upgraded to a Naim 200 &202, to replace my existing Linn LK1 & LK2, so no phono stage at the moment, and I suppose the Troika needs replacing after 15 years. I’m afraid I don’t understand the Naim numbers ie Prefix, Flatcap 2 etc. I...

Does anybody know what Linn charges for thier standard tonearm cable over there?ThanksJudd

Am I right does the signal go from the pre in and out of the HI/super without any thing happening to the signal? Then on to amp. If this is so why don't the signal go straight to the amp, removing a connection and giving another marketing oportunity...

My new CDX2 arrived today (thank you FedEx)How happy am I ??Naim forgot to put the accessory pack in the box.No power leadNo SnaicNo remoteNo XPS blanking plugNo joy Nana

Has anyone heard when this board may be available? If so, what price and can I install myself?ThanksJonathan

I shall be receiving a pair of used rega EL8 anytime soon. it will be connected to my 92R/90.3. can anyone help with some basic info on speaker positioning? do you just put it right up against the wall like the kan mk1/mk2?

Has anybody on the forum done any modifications to thier Rega loudspeakers (does anybody even have Rega loudspeakers)?I'm curious to know what is possible, and what is generally done. judd

I have the rega Alyas, which I generally like. They get the midrange right, which I really appreciate. However, the tweeter never lets you forget that these are inexpensive speakers. It's not offensive, but it's rather blunt. Am wondering if the...

Will i get any problems with the power supplyif i who live in Denmark should buy e.g. an amplifier / cd-player from a dealer in the U.K.or Germany.
