Hi-Fi Corner

HiMy system consists of NAC32.5 (pulled phono boards) NAP250, HiCAP, Micromega Drive2/DAC2, IBL's. My system suffers from harsh treble. I think that my listening room is mostly to blame (wooden floors with not much in the way of soft furnishings) as I...

We're experiencing problems with our telephone system here so if anybody is having difficulty in getting through to us, we apologise. Engineers are currently trying to fix the problem so we hope to have things back to normal within 24 hours.Our e-mail...

I am just in the process of setting up my new mana stands for my isobarik speakers. I have encountered one problem. The nylon feet on the bottom of the speakers are placed two at the front and two half way back. This would seem to be an unstable...

After a year of forum watching, I'm wondering what it is about Naim boxes that lead folks to argue bitterly about the relative merits of outdated kit, and the inherent inferiority of anything new? After all, at the heart of all audio equipment is the...

The instructions I have for mounting a prefix in a LP12 state:"Attach prefix to the underside of the front right-hand corner brace of the turntable plinth, using the three wood screws provided."My prefix included 3 (1cm) small screws, 3 (2 cm) larger...

Well chaps, took all your advice and borrowed a HiCap. Wired it up to my 62/160, revved up the LP12 and... WOW! I was blown away, had to hhave one. My local dealer had an ex-dem HiCap (less than 2 years old), boxed/mint for a good price so I snaffled...

Not in a bats in the belfry kind of way, but in a seething annoyed, I hate record companies kind of way.See my comments in the 'New Foos' thread for more info, but basically, as has been commented elsewhere some of the new copy-protected disc (I'll...

It seems that today is very bored here.I will try to break a monotony.Did you all leave your Naim turn on, if yes, for how long until the next turning off...month, a year... Is it dangerous to leave a components on for years?I have notice that even my...

I have an extra Naim interconnect laying around that I would like to modify for my new CDP (RCA connectors). It would be going into a 52. The interconnect has the L & R and one ground connected to the DIN plugs at each end. The interconnect has an extra ground lead going through that isn't connected on either end. Each RCA plugs has a ground so how should each end be connected? Do I need to modify the preamp connection as well? John

Hello !Can anyone post new range price list, if not all, I am interested in Flatcap2, 202, 200, NAT05.Thanks,Ozren

Last Friday, Nick Lees, Tom Alves and myself travelled down to 1066 country to hear Dave J’s sistem. Dave had been brave enough to volunteer to follow the imposing Sheridan/Gizmogirl NAP500/DBL evening, so he was under pressure to impress. To...

Hope its ok to ask this question on the Naim forum. Just got myself a pair of Linn Isobariks (cannon Conector type) to partner my CD5 Hi 32.5 Hi 250 setup. Question, do they take time to come fully on song similar to the electronics, if so how long...

I recently took the plunge and connected my P9 to the NAC 52 with a Stageline using the power from Socket 2. What an improvement over the internal boards! Better presence and improved bass and imaging. I also have a HiCap that I would like to use with...

Has any of our American friends had any experience of the Meadowlark Swift speakers. Have recently heard them through Musical Fidelity stuff and they sounded good. Would welcome any comments on their synergy with Naim amps, especially Nait 5

Hi,After having entered the Naim world a few months ago with a CD5 and NAIT 5, connected via NACA5 to some Arcaydis Concept 2 speakers, and with XMAS coming up I was thinking about buying myself a present...My local dealer has recommended the Flatcap...

I am in a situation where I need to have my LP12 on a wall shelf. I have a 2 tier Mana stand (TT & 52) and a 4 tier stand (Armegeddon, Supercap, 135's). I basically see I have 2 options: 1. Buy a Mana wall shelf. 2. Make a wall shelf that can hold my 2 tier. #1 is'nt the best option because the equipment would be on the end of a wall that ends to the left. The racks would be forced to sit next to the wall shelf to the right. This would force me to put the armegedon on the 2 tier with the 52...

Would It be Cheaper for me to Send my Pre and Power Amp direct to Naim for a Recap or would I be charged the same amount if I went through my local Naim dealer?Also, does anyone know how long Naim take to turnaround Recaps?thanksMark

Following the recent threads concerning fuses and Mains optimization, I wanted to share one of my experimentation. Simple, easy to do and respectful of all safety issues.I noticed that the Naim supplied Mains cable were of relatively small gauge...

Have had new kit for about 2 months now (CD5/112/150/Intros) and am still enjoying it and rediscovering my collection. Anyway,last night I tried the "2p under each spike" test that I found in a forum search on "Intros" Speakers are 3" from rear wall...

I am interested in buying a fine used NAC-82.Is there a list available of the factory modification since the introduction in 1992.Are there any version worth avoiding.

It has taken me two years but I have finally managed to get my gear into a different room to the speakers. I've lost any notion of presentation or tidiness as you can see from the attached Photo. All is totally devoted to quality of sound. You may be...

Hello to all, I am at present using a 42.5 alongside an american power-amp which is a Dunlap-Clarke Dreadnaught. Am I right in thinking that the Naca5 is only suited to Naim power amplifiers? I am using cable talk 3.1 at the moment, would changing to...

I have just noticed after cleaning puck and metal contact on CD3.5 that the metal surface is coming off on the CDP. It looks like the metal is only a coating on plastic. Has anyone else noticed this and would I have to return my CDP to Naim to be ...

http://www.prorec.com/prorec/articles.nsf/articles/8A133F52D0FD71AB86256C2E005DAF1CRip talks about the new Rush CD Vapor Trails and he is spot on with the sound quality. And he explains why...Let's hope this trend reverses.Enjoy.David

System: LP12/CDS2/80/2xHiCaps/250/SBLsThe above has recently been re-housed in a room approx 16' x 15' x 9' with fitted carpets on a timber floor. Sadly the problem that I have brought from my previous home is a lack of base weight. Until the recent...
