Hi-Fi Corner

I am thinking about moving niam stuff to another wall. Right now I have 12 feet of naim 5 to both speakers. I would now need 29 feet of wire to each speaker. Is that ok or too long. Thanks Ted. Nac 82 psc,, hi, cdx, nap 250. Let me know, Thanks

I have just become the proud owner of a CDX. Sounds good straight from the box, can't wait for it to warm up and develop its sound properly. Can't afford an XPS yet but at least I can now put my HiCap on the 112 and use my FlatCap2 to power my...

...And I believe a Linn LK280 to be more refined and have more drive than a NAP250. That should wake them up! Honestly, thats what I think, having compared them( on Linn Isobariks...Okay, maybe some special synergy) If no sarcastic reply, assume...

I have the opportunity to buy a circa 1984-85 (?) NAC 32_5 which was serviced (new DIN sockets) and re-capped earlier this (2002) year. Is there any way to confirm service records on any used Naim unit (providing that you have a serial# and name of...

Well there are probably lots of things but here is one you should know.The belt only "works" in one direction and there are four to chose from.Even you dealer may not have got this right.Basicaly the belt is ground smooth on one side only and in one...

What with the selling off of the old for the new, I think it is that time. Currently CDX/72/Hi/140/NEAT Mystiques. My NAIM guru in New York says, though it runs a bit counter to forum wisdom, he would suggest the 82 as best bang for the buck. He...

I installed a CDX2 in my system last night and I can say without a doubt it is the best cd player I have ever heard. It conveys the meaning and emotion of music in a way I never experienced with my CDS2. I am sure if I did a head-to-head comparison...

They purport to be an omnidirectional design. I'm curious if anyone has heard them, and if so, how they might compare to, say, Shahinians.Thanks.JayBoenicke speakers

My LP12 currently stands on a sound organisation turntable stand, the top shelf replaced by a Clearlight RDC shelf with a Audiophile base board on top of that.I also have a Clearlight RDC rack with the rest of my equipment on it.The CD player is on...

Just seen a NAC32.5 go for £295 on ebay! (OK so it was a minter with '72 boards but still!).On the other hand for that money it must have gone to a good home. Hope they enjoy it.

Well its disrupting my life.doh Humbug

Because in a day or two someone will paint the all threads with 5 stars for the coming XMASand I'll stay the one with the usual 1 star only.Happy Christmas for all of you,Arye

Just to remind everybody that the office here at Naim will be closed from 12 o'clock Monday 23rd December until Thursday 2nd January 2003.We'd like to thank you all for your custom and support during the last 12 months and wish you all a great holiday...

I recently purchased a Naimed LP12 (ARO, armeggedon) and am running a XX2 prefix on it. I have read just about every article I can find on the setup of the TT. It sounds fantastic so far but I don't think I've maxed out it's potential. I'm slowly...

HowdeeI'm afraid I must disagree with recent posts that you can do this successfully.In case you are planning financing going active without a hicap for the naxo/snaxo as I was.Running a naxo 2-4 (6yrs old-recently serviced) for SBL's off the 52's...

I have just sold my Audiolab 8000a and 8000p amps and eagerly awaiting delivery of my new system.I have ordered a Nac112, Nap150 and a flatcap 2 to go with my CD5.Is it best to split the flatcap 2 between the 112 and the cd5 or use it on just the 1...

Hi,nearly all forum members recommend to leave the Naim-system switched on ( Exceptions: holidays, thunderstorms ). What should I do with the turntable ( LP12 )?By the way, the Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck has no on/off-switch!Merry Christmas,Manfred...

Just thiought I'd let you all know that the Fraim is as good as you may of heard (IMHO ). Just had a couple of hours with my local dealer (Adventure's in Hi-fi, Wigan)demo'ing a 5 tier Fraim with a 180 and a pair of 135's. The system was 82-hi...

Just got a flatcap2. Look at the manual, does not quite understand how, Its connected and its playing now. Not sure if its right. Curious, if it can power both 112/CD5, can i pull out the CD5 power cord, currently its connected and switch on. Please...

How many out there are using DAB tuners? The prices seem to have dropped to an acceptable level now so I've been thinking about picking one up.How good an aerial do they need?RegardsSteve

Please e-mail me again, the e-mail address you tried before is dead. I have the Kan stand top spikes for you, I just need to know where to send em!Best wishes,Mickmickey.dale@blueyonder.co.uk

I'm having a smallish party at the weekend and intend using my main naim system for the tunes.I normally hammer the SBLs for say a hour or so, but i'm talking 7-8 hrs for this. A friend his bringing his DJ TT along, not even sure if this will connect...

I'v'e Just bought a Marantz DR6000, and I was wondering which port is the most suitable for connecting it to my Nait 5 Amp.At present my turntable is connected to 'Aux 2'and I have a Cassette Recorder using the 'Tape' port. All the other ports are...

I am currently using a 42.5 which I purchased 4 months ago. After reading the forum I was led to believe that the 32.5 was considerably better than the 42.5 so I purchased one. What a shock the 32.5 had been serviced in 2000 by Naim they had replaced...

Does anyone know how long it typically takes Dimexs in Montreal to perform a recap? They've had my recently acquired NAC 62 for three weeks (for a recap and service to fix the input selector switch). I know these things take time but they haven't...
