I have 102/CDX/250/Isobariks, just sold old Hicap and need to fill the hole. Do I go for another Hicap or Supercap or even XPS (?). [This message was edited by Richard Dane on MONDAY 02 December 2002 at 12:34.]

Has anyone out there demo'ed a CDSII/XPS against a Linn CD12 (not that can afford either, but I'd be interested anyway)?Indeed, has anyone actually heard a CD12, and how does it compared to a fully-fit LP12?Kevin

Hi!Bought a cdx a week ago.Couldn´t hold back anymore.What a player!Straight out of the box, cold and just hooked it up. Superb.Eventhough my ´3 was good the ´x is just so much better in every aspect. What puzzels me is just one...

Dear MembersMy dynaudio contour speakers are connected to my all naim system via OCOS speaker cables (dynaudio recommendation). Recently, i purchased s/h NACA5. Here's what i experienced:The OCOS produces a tight and thin bass, but also a little less...

I am interested in upgrading the NAC62, a NAP140 and SNAPS combo that I have. Can my SNAPS be used with the newer pre-amps? Does the chronological (date) order of Naim equipment releases automatically mean each newer unit is better than the previous?...

Couldn't manage without a digital output on my cdp, so how do you dyed in the wool Naim fans cope?Does anyone mod Naim cdps to take a digi/out?

Having given up the battle of trying to record with my computer, I have just bought a dedicated CDR recorder. The Phillips CDR600 ,(at only 149 GBP it was worth a try).It has the option of analogue, and optical or coax digital inputs.The question is...

Maybe this don't belong to this forum, but I am really interested if someone can explain how cdrs which are made on pc can sound same like originals even on my CD5.The thing would be much easier to understand if there is no diference between digital...

I quote from another forum this statement that was made by a ex-naim user..."Also, in my case, I noted the singers were always squatting down (I kid you not) when I used NAC A5."

I have a Supercap driving a Prefix at the moment. is there a way to use it to drive a CD5 at the same time, or do I have to disconnect the Prefix first ? But, first of all, can a Supercap be used on a CD5 ?I'm a vinyl guy, so I don't need a CDS2

Most of us here are pretty evangelical about Naim amplification; we like what it does – it communicates music in a very special, exciting and enthralling fashion. Some of us are similarly enthusiastic about the CD players, mostly for the same...

Totally obsessed in playing with my new cheapo CD Recorder, it has become very obvious that I can record from vinyl (using a pretty good front end admittedly) and produce CDs that vastly better to listen to than many commercial CD re-issues of the...

After reading through the 'Active for beardies' thread I started wondering. Powering the SNAXO from a Supercap is probably a big change from the HiCap. Now what about all those outputs on the back? Can I use my existing Supercap to power SNAXO as well...

in context of a 52/Supercap/135/SBL system?I sold off my CDS1 and hundreds of CDs and my system is vinyl only now. To keep my wife happy I agreed to purchase a CD player that she could use. My options are to buy a new or used CD player that would fit...
