Hi-Fi Corner

I just received the Hi-cap and 32_5 pre-amp that I bought used to replace my SNAPS & 62. (BTW - I started this topic under "62 vs 32_5 and other assorted questions..." a few weeks back before the new stuff came.) Obviously, personal preference between the 62 vs. the 32_5 will be the final determining factor here, but I'm hearing things I didn't expect. Overall sound on CD thru the 32_5 seems more "together" than with my old 62, but I'm not sure if I like the difference (yet) ?! [>>>...

i have a old marantz cd player that distorts badly after a few minutes use it sounds like digital data coming in with the music it is a marantz cd 73 any help or advice please

I just bought a used pair of NBLs and would like some help in placement. I have two walls that they can go against. One is 12 feet long which is an outside wall (Stucco) where my SBLs currently sit and the other is 13 feet long which has a bay window...

I have seen the SL2s advertised at £4,995. Anyone know if this price includes the passive crossover? If not how much will the pxo cost?

I'm currently upgrading my Naim system which consists of a CD5, LP12, Flatcap2, Nait 5 and Linn Ninka Speakers initially adding a NAP200/250 and then the 202 Pre Amp and eventually a CDX either new or second hand when I have sufficient funds. This may...

What's the minimum power amp I'd need to gain a decent improvement over my current Nait 3. I have it running with a cd3.5/flatcap and b&w cdm1se's but I'm looking at getting Naim Intro speakers. Cheers in advance.

I have a new supercap and it won't sit level. (Also have 3 other new Naim boxes which all sit square on their 4 feet.) Components are on Mana (so the glass shelves are flat) so I presume the fault to lie in the feet. Nothing appears loose. I...

With their wibbly-wobbly insides, it seems likely that the new Naims will prefer a completely different type of stand to the old. If not, then increasing the compliance of the mounting is a good thing, and should we be putting our old Naim on...

Just gone back to active (3 x 250s / Briks) after selling the 135s that were driving the tweeters. For a month or two I'd been running the briks passively using one, then two 250s (i.e. in '125' configuration.I thought that my dissatisfaction before...

I notice with the new look Forum email addresses are not listed for the Forum Moderators. If I want to contact Naim is the correct method of communication to set up a Private Topic with that person?Mark

Just bought my Nait 5 into work today to lend to a colleague but I've just realised that the Link Plugs are missing as I use a Flatcap 2.Does anyone know if the amp will work without the link plugs.My apologies before hand for such a silly question as...

I have a "Dual Remote" that behaves a bit oddly. Sometimes, after changing a track on the CD player, the volume buttons won't respond. I have to toggle between "CD" and "Preamp" several times, and maybe whack the remote a couple times to get the...

I am using a non Naim spkr...How do I bi-wire 2*Nap 180s with a Hicap and a 72?Can i use sockets 2,3 of hicap to send signals to each 180 like (135, 250)On the amp to spkr side, can i send each run of NACA 5 wire to each driver on the spkr...

basically my system has been sounding shite....some things have been ok but as soon as anything with any wallop is played, the whole thing just falls to bits.anyhow, to cut a long story short, i went to press play on the cdx and nothing was happening,...

Hi guys,This morning I received an email from a dealer who's offering me a mint s/h NAP180 for 995, euro! (50% of the newprice) The NAP180 is only 1,5 years old!This seems very tempting to me. I like my Nait-2 a lot, but now 's the time for me to move...

I have HD570 headphones (may upgrade soon) and want a decent headphone amp. Please give me some advice

I am wondering if any of you have been succesful with easy, cheap, improvements to the Rega Planet. In particular, I am wondering if the squishy sorbothane feet are best or if replacing them with something like Soundcare Superspikes etc. might...

I own a cd 3.5 , 102 pre & 180 power amp and im looking 4 some speakers 2 go with them. Ive tried dynaudio,s (audience 50,s and contour 1.3 mk2,s with 2 high caps) and thought they were really lacking in bite. At the moment im useing (dont laugh) kef...

I just got a new DL110 to replace my K9 on my planer 3. Sounds good but abit constricted/congested. It probably has about only 10 hours so I wonder if it will open up. How long does it take a cartridge to breakin and are their any predictable ways the...

I listened to a lecture about the subject in the Internet. A lecture that was given by a professor of physics Abraham Kazir (the son of Ephraim Kazir who was a president of Israel about 20 years ago) from the University of Tel Aviv. Te University...

Is it correct to assume these two are compatible, with the current black burndy ?Anyone bought/tried a Supercap2 within an existing olive system, i assume its better than the Supercap1 ?naheed...

Are the LINN preamps good? I am especially interested in the cheaper new ones. But information about older and/or more expensive ones are also welcome.Greetings, Hans
