Hi-Fi Corner

I now have a 102, hi (recapped) ,pse, Cdx, 250 (recapped). Monitor audio studio 20's. My old system, 72,hi, cd3, 140, same speakers. The new one seems more forward and more harsh (piano in particular espesically at higer volumnes) ,very detailed but...

Having used Naim speaker cable in many permutations and lengths over the past 20 years I have come to the conclusion that there is a difference between black and white (NACA5 that is).I hear a warmer sound with more bass from the white, and more...

Can anyone post or point me in the direction of detailed photographs of the Aro mounted on an LP12, especially a photograph of the arm lead cap plugged into the armboard. Thanks.

Hey ho, I know it's early in the morning, but reading some recent threads, one thing stands out time and time again.......... and I'm the last to critisize others' spolling but what is a;sistem ?????So many doin' it that I'm thinking I've missed...

I've seen various set-ups ranging from:-1 in between the speakers 2 within the firing range of the speakers (short naca5 run) 3 at the other end of the room (long naca5 run) 4 in another roomMine is currently no.2, residing to the right of my right...

I have the opportunity to buy a circa 1984-85 (?) HI-CAP that (to my knowledge) has never been serviced. What's the average ($) US Dollar price for a used unit like this?Thanx,TNJB

My friendly local dealer not only had the brand-new equivalent of exactly my current system on Dem (CDX2,XPS2,282,Scap,250 - into allaes), but also something I could afford - the new Naim brochure. Very attractive, a full-format version of the 5...

OK, as it is Friday I will try to be a bit provocative...I´ve noticed that a high percentage of Naim Forum members (and Naim owners) reside in the UK. Why is this the case? One would think that good music reproduction would be appreciated all...

Hi folks.My sister wants a compact hifi. Originally, she expressed some interest in getting a small seperates system but decided against it for reasons untold. She phoned me up yesterday seeking my opinions on Technics mini systems (shudder) -...

Hi y'all, Yesterday I had a day off, and I had the lucky coincidence that there was some Rega & Totem HiFi-show going on in my area. Because I heard many raving words about Totem speakers, I thought I'd give it a try. In a (very) small store, with an even smaller (about the size of my bedroom!) demo-room, they were demonstrating Totem loudspeakers on Rega equipment. Now, to make a long story (a little) short(er)... It was fu..ing amazing! Lucky for me I was the first and only visitor in...

Over here in Singapore, the general audiophiles have some sort of common impression stuck in their head that Naims only do pop/rock music well and nothing else. Although most of my Naimee friends know it's not true, it's not the general audiophiles...

I have been reading the reports of people trying the latest kit and sometimes the positions of individual boxes are detailed along with the thinking for being placed in a particular position. What should be done with a turntable, should it reside on...

Due to lack of tiers on my rack, I have my hicap sitting on top of the right side of my 250 so that both the 250 and hicap transformer are on the same side. Am I compromising a lot on sound quality with this arrangement?

On Saturday, I went for a demonstration of the NAC552/NAC500 versus a NAC52/2x135's at Grahams. The system was fronted by a CDS2 and the speakers were Naim SBLs. From what I had read here (...'it's brilliant') and on other places (...'my fuses are...

Is there ANYTHING WHATSOEVER in the performance of a 72 that gives it an edge over the 82? (Lets say you have a Hicap on both, for the sake of discussion).

Has anyone obtained a part exchange value for their CDX against a CDX2 yet? I've had three for mine, which is 18 months old, and they range from £600 to &1119! These are poor values for such a product, don't you think? £600 equates to 75%...

I spent an instructive 4 hours having heeded to call from a local forum member who expressed some disatisfaction with the overall results of the above entry-level naim kit. He was running this combination into both Pro-Ac Tablettes and his hombru...

I have just traded my Rega P3 in for a S/H LP12 and gone for a Naim Aro arm, the LP12 has a Valhala power supply.For the time being whilst I decide what to do I'm moving my almost new Ortofon 520 MM cartridge over from my P3 but with the Aro I will...

Hello to you all, I'm trying to locate a test report on the Isobariks, I believe Hi-Fi Choice reported on these loudspeakers in collections 2 but I can't be sure. Anyone shed some light on my quest?RegardsRaymond.

I would be grateful for any help/advice.....what is the best sounding CDR discs .....I usually buy TDK recording media....they have consistently been the best over many years. Also, where can I get it/them easily?ThanksLaurie S

I seem to be seeing double ups of any images posted, am I alone?I am guessing that the software has been updated to automatically show images, then of course we all link to them any how.either that or my mac is going odd on me.

The question is simple: Nait 2 or 42.5/90.3 ?All are mint conditionWait for your quality responses.Thanks,Ozren

Hi Guys,For a while now I have my new system: CD5, Nait 5, 2 HiCaps and ProAc Tablette 50's on Target HR60 stands.Now, everything sounds right, but I miss the emotion I am used to with Naim. As I recall, my first Naim based system (Sony 555es, Naim...

Hi guys!I am thinking of buying a dvd-player. As I think it will be a while before Naim will launch one, and as I don't have a home-cinema setup, I was thinking of buying a cheap one (for the time being). Does anyone have any recommendations?Thanx, Bas

Hi,Has somebody first-hand experience with Aro/Frog/Prefix K-Type combination?Two major questions for me:1. VdH writes you need 0.6-0.8g of bias and Aro has 1.5g minimum2. Frog has 0.6mv output so what about overloading of Prefix? I read here some...
