Hi-Fi Corner

Hi there.I have a Nait 3 with NA522/2 phono boards. Connected is a Rega P3 with a Sumiko Premiere MC.I have the idea that the NA522/2 boards are not the right ones because I need to set the volume to a quite funny position for the same volume output...

I have an odd problem which has got me scratching my head. I recently became the proud owner of a (second-hand new style) NAC62 and NAP 160 combi. It sounds wonderful, especially with my Nak Dragon, but LP reproduction is a big problem.(I own a...

Dear Forum Members3 years ago, my hifi odyssey ended into naim (or maybe, it just began?). After several auditions of many different brands, it was this nice CD3.5/72/140 package that i took home. I noticed that "listening to music" was now really...

My LP12 and I have reached a crossroads. It's Valhalla'd and Cirkus'd, and experienced a serious upgrade when its original Ittock was replaced by an Aro two years ago. It sits on a Mana Reference table. I am actively considering a new P9. Hope to hear...

When I bought my old 250 (now about 25 years old and retired to the kitchen system) the previous owner pointed out to me that the bulb in the power switch had passed on a year or two before. I never bothered replacing it as I prefer the dark. Last...

Interesting link, don't know if it's true or not. It suggests that with biwiring you get a phase error b/c the amp interacts differently with the low and high pass filters. Of course the author says you hear it in soundstaging, and we would probalby...

Hi all , just testing the water on how to upgrade my trusty TT (lp12/ittockII/10x4).I will not be upgrading my cdx/xps/allae's,but my 72 will be upgraded to 52/super in 6-7 weeks and the 180 goes around Feb time. I have in mind the following:1. New...

It happens many times that I want to thank Naim for their ability to manufacture equipment that can bring so much happiness.It is not simple to be so good.Arye

Just got a 250 and some SBL's today.As waiting for new gaskets for the SBL's the 250 is now driving the IBL's (Mk1).WOW can they sing with a 250 behind them, as other posts have said, yes the music seems slower but its so much more musical. Put the...

I am using a Space-Deck with Kuzma Stogi arm. The phono stage is a Linn Linto (120 ohm input impedance). The rest of the gear is 82,2xHC, Hart amp, B&W Matrix 801S3 (meaning low end must be well defined). My options are: 1. Ortofon MC-3000/2 (that's the one I currently have and it used to work beautifully ) 2. Benz Ruby "Open Air" 3. Reson Etile (based on Goldring Elite) for much less: 1. Ortofon Kontrapunkt b 2. Shelter 501 cartridge (from Japan) I will be grateful for any help
