HiIs it possible to slide out and reverse the casing on the old nap 250. I removed the feet the other day to look inside but it would'nt slide out and I noticed Allan head screws on the base. Yours in MusicSyd

Having tried to understand the LP12 set up document, a couple of questions.( haven't done any thing to mine its as it came back from the dealer.)MY understanding of the set up is that it is done in a support frame, the base being lined up with the...

Well i could'nt resist going for the supercap, but 2 days in i feels its not at all what i was expecting. I sat back (after leaving overnight to warm-up) and heard only subtle improvements. Yes, there was another layer of detail/texture, the bass was...

There is a deal for the above for slightly more than the equivalent of a thoudsand pounds. Lets assume it is in good condition. I am using a p25 now with the dynavector 10x4. If I should get it, would I be able to fit the 10x4 onto the arm without any...

Hi,I'm waiting for my electrician to arrive so he can install a separate consumer unit, with 4 spurs running into the 250, XPS, Hicap and Napsc. I remember reading somewhere that there is a preferred order that the spurs should be connected to the...

They're gonna commit me one of these days.I have purchased (but yet not picked up) a pair of PMS Briks (1984) with Naxo. And I already own an even older pair of DMS. Have I gone off the deep end? This is all for my second (living room) system,...

I have a headphone amp that I'm trying to use with my 3.5 through my nac72. The amp has 2 tape inputs and a little switch that says 'mon' that I'm guessing is tape monitor. I've got the 3.5 plugged into the tuner input on the amp and I've tried the...

I have been looking at upgrading my system recently. I was originally taking the Linn route until I recovered my senses (!) and auditioned some Naim amplification.My system is currently an LP12 Cirkus Lingo Ittock LVIII Ortofon MC30 Supreme, Linn...

Does anyone know how old a NAC52-Ser# 127210 might be? I am considering purchasing this unit but I heard that the early ones (1990-1) were less good and require updates to bring them into specs matching the newer models.Thanks

While connecting a NAC to a NAP and using a Hi-cap then the signal goes from the NAC through the Hi-cap to the NAP. At the same time the Hi-cap supplies the NAC with power through the 5 pin din interconnect. And if a NAP with build in preamp power...

I have just acquired a Creek Headphone Amp, the 11SE version etc. Do any of you kind folk out there have any views on interconnects? At this moment I use Chord interconnects.

Does anybody know if the CDX has some sort of "trip" switch? Last night I unplugged my system, without switching off, naughty, naughty I know but thats how most dealers do it! I wanted to experiment with a spur from the cooker socket. When I powered...

I've always been led to believe that playing a record with the lid down should be avoided. I presume the space acts as an echo chamber and (detrimentally) affects the mechanics of the cartridge.Anyone got an opinion on simply raising the lid vs....

does anybody know if these are any good at all or if they are a complete waste of time?cheers,gus

Wondering how to connect subwoofer to amp. Can I do this via flatcap? And what cables are necessary.ThanksMax

Guys,Is there a significant musical reward when upgrading from 72 to 102?Considering the price difference, is it better to go straight to a nap 250 instead?Appreciate the infoAll opinions are solely my own and not forceful in any nature.

Hey there-- just picked up a pair of Linn Tukans for a possible bedroom system. Problem is, there isnt much bass. The stands, granted, are pretty cheap-- better ones are on the way-- but there is not much bass at all.So do you put these speakers up...

My CD5 seems to be getting more and more fussy about which CDs it will play. More and more of my discs produce the "Err" message when I hit play. Sometimes I can get the CD to play by entering a track number. Also, the player makes a strange noise...

In USA, The Wilson Benesch Arcs and the Shahinian Arcs are about the same price: WB Arcs are US $3600(including stands) and the Shahinians are US $3200. In Dallas,TX, guess which ones are available to demo----onlythe British one! Shahinian doesn't...

A new tweak some of the Mana crew are trying with glass shelves, is to stack another sheet of glass on the existing piece, using some (3) simple cork or felt pads to separate the two. I, as well as others have tried this on our cds2's - with great...
