It was in answer to some astute businessperson in the Manchester Airport Club Class Lounge that I advised him not to buy anything. The only problem with this approach, which I strongly advocate, is everything goes strangely quiet. So give in and buy a...

Hi everyone - Who can help me with this?With my NAC 82 (older model) I got a remote control unit, which apparently is now discontinued.It’s wider than the new plastic ones, and -this is the main difference – has two full sets of pre-amp...

I have just bought an ex-demo 102/180 amp and I am using it with my Linn Sondek Valhalla/Akito 2/Ortofon Rohmann/Creek OBS 9SE into a pair of biwired granite stand Keilidhs I've had from new for 9 years, but with the latest tweeters. I also have a CD...

Hi,This is another of those possible upgrade questions I'm afraid, but I'd welcome any advice.My system comprises CDX/102/PSC/Hi/250 and it's sitting on a SoundOrg rack.I've been deliberating for a while over the next step to take but having read a...

I tried it for the second time, on a QS under the CDX – and it was awful!Why does it make me happy to tell you this here?Arye

Hi to all !Just running in my new CD 5 and Intro 2 speakers.Surfing on the Narcom remote, turning on and off display and wondering is it a noticable difference in sound between on and off display ?Couldn't say for now, did anyone hear the...

Am now the proud owner of a circa 1990 pair of the above and beginning to find out what I have been missing in terms of mid-range and a more believable bass than the previous Rocksolids. They're on Kan II stands, which fit perfectly, and as they are...

In the last few months I have bought 2 CD's that skip in several places when played on my CD3.5.However when I played them on another CD player they were fine. There were no visible signs of damage, dust etc on the CD's.Are Naim CD Players more prone...

Chaps,Has anyone got some good suggestions for cheap speakers to be used for close monitoring around a computer setup.Current usage is for a vinyl setup through a home made Naim based phono stage into a Naim 42 and via a Midiman Audiophile 24/96 into...

Hello everyone,One of the less desired side-effects of up-grading NAIM systems is the proliferation of “black boxes” mainly power supplies.The following crazy idea was mentioned to me: If you run out of shelf space, you can place an XPS...

I've got a problem.Just moved to a new place and the speakers are not realy working as they should. The set up location is the problem, but mostly because it involves an alcove, and a floor that seems to be less "solid" as you move out of it. The...

Just received the call from Expert Stylus Co. to say my twenty year old Troika is showing only tip wear and the suspension does not need changing. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but doesn't Linn Law state that cartridge suspensions MUST be changed every...

Hello I wonder how big the chance is to get a second hand XPS. Why would someone sell this powersupply on its own (since there is no possible upgrade to a better supply)? Same question applies to supercap. rocketeer [This message was edited by rocketeer on MONDAY 18 November 2002 at 10:17.]
