Hi-Fi Corner
Is it true that Naim amps don't like difficult speakers too much? I have got some old AR LST speakers but am reticent to hook them to the 110 as the LST's have a reputation for dipping to 2 Ohms and needing several hundred watts of US muscle amps....
Does anyone know how much, if at all, the GFI outlets would impact your mains power? I would assume that they are a positive thing in that they would prevent spikes to your equipment? I am contemplating putting in hospital grade GFI for my system...
My sistem consists of the following :-P9/17D282/Hicap250Epos ES14all sitting on Michael Green's clamprack.Vinyl is my primary source. I shall leave my CD player as what it is now. I am considering the following few options in the not too far future...
You won't see many of these, gracing Fraim.It's a Sony SCDXE 670 SACD player. David Vivian tickled my fancy with his 'High End For Peanuts' review in the September Hi-Fi Choice.It's £120. I'll say that again: One hundred and twenty pounds. It...
Having just fitted a black SNAIC4 my system really does sound good now.Even at low volume bass and treble are pretty good.I missed the individual differences of the SNAIC5 NACA5 as I changed them at the same time as my 72. Unfortunately it now shows...
Dear Forum members,I'm looking for a Nait 2 with phono boards, olive style; I want to install a small second system.Does anybody know where a Nait 2 is for sale in Germany or otherwise on the continent? What should I expect to pay?Thanks in advance,Markus

So I've been doing a bit of cleaning and came across this quaintly labelled "Naim Remote Unit" for CD players in the closet. Probably it was associated with an old CDS of mine. Anyway, I'm thinking of selling it on EBay. Any idea what it might fetch...
Hunting for a recent secondhand Hicap I'm under the impression that dutch Naim-dealers are complete ripoffs.They ask 900euro for a ten year old unserviced Hicap.That's 600pounds !!As I don't want to do business with "easy moneymakers"I would like to...
Today I was playing a cd from some years ago that didn't have much volume so I positioned my 112 at about 2 o'clock. The next cd was one of those remastered ones with ridiculously high volume and guess who forgot to put the volume down. Well seconds...
Anybody tried that ?Comparing to CDX + 72 + 140 ?Regards,Louis
Anyway, i had some work done in the lounge which necessitated moving the Horn speakers from theyre corner position. Had to pull out the speaker cable as well.Anyway work completed lounge cleaned and vacced .Time to put back speakers , reconnect the...
OK I am conceding that at high volume the lynn was preferable but the linn has serioius problems with the base so NAIM it is. I will look forward to HI-Cap which should sweaten the top a bit and also some better cables. I allready have NAC-A5, butI...
I have a CDX,82,one recapped hicap and a 250. What are the benefits of adding a second (recapped and a great price) hicap? Or should I save my hundreds and get a XPS? Thanks Ted.
Hello:has anyone listened Linn source?Is it equal or inferior to a Naim cd 3.5?BTW,I´ve got a Nait 5 amplifier!
Following a recent work move I find myself sitting here in California without my Naim and a girlfriend (trying to decide which is worse ).Can any of you local boys give me the names of some decent Hi-fi shops in either LA or SanFrancisco, i will be...
I need some help choosing between an upgrade from my Nait 2 to either Linn Wakonda with LK 85 ($2500 Canadian demo )or Nac62 and 140 combo($1500.00 Canadian)I find that the Nait top end is not all that clear on demanding passages with a lot of...
Hi All,Today, with approximately same budget,one can buy s/h 72+Hi+250 or new 112+150+flatcap2. I've never heard the second system. I know the first one very well : it's my system. Which is the better choice? One of my friends,a future Naimee, is at a...
Hi AllI'm looking for some advice. I wish to convert phono 2 on my 32.5 to phono sockets. It does'nt look all that difficult to do. Is it possible to do it yourself and if so is their a particular phono socket you would advise. I was looking on the...
GreetingsIs there some trick to taking the ferocious element out of the Credos sound?They are well and truly anchored to a concrete floor,level and no slopping around on the spikes. Being driven by a 180 btw with CDX, 102 and the two recommended power...
Muchachos.I give in.Will someone please explain?Mike
As the title says, one for the resident electric warriors.Are there any likely detrimental effects of running Naim kit with no earth (apart from the increased chance of electric shock).Only ask, as I only have 4 sockets in the whole house with earth...
The Nait3 is connected to Credos with Naca5, but the Naca5 is not terminated with the original Naim plugs. There are just banana plugs, so one of those touched the case of the Nait3 and I guess there was a short circuit.The case got very hot, and as...
How much should I expect pay for a 10-12 year old HICAP?Thanks a lot guys.
Hi--attention seekers unite.No I'm afraid its not a dream sale. A very catch your attention title I know.2 months ago I upgraded 72/hi to s/h 52/s/c. It cost me a good deal more than £100--my cash flow is still only dripping becuase of it.2...
