Hi-Fi Corner

Can anyone suggest where I could get my Sony Pro Walkman serviced/repaired (in UK)? I dont use it that often anymore and when I pulled it out of the cupboard the other day fast forward and reverse seemed to have stopped working.ThanksDavid

The subject is somewhat exaggerated. However, there is some truth in it and this is meant to be the last post on this amusing and informative forum. I hope I will be able to withstand the temptation to lurk into this forum. Let me explain.When I...

Maybe a premature and irrelevant question...Is there anyone who knows, apart from adding a XPS, if the Naim HQ will offer other solutions for upgrade (including internal modifications) from CDX to CDX2?What would be the benefits of adding to CDX a...

Thanks a lot guys for your answers!I still believe I can't live with a naked cd5, I would just hear that little devil in my ear whispering:"flatcap, hicap, flatcap,hicap" ;-)!Yes both the densen and rega jupiter are interesting and available here. The...

Dear allI am realy happy with my system at the moment, hence my recent lack of posts.Having had a hicap on loan from a friend (on the 42.5) for a few days, this confirmed that I do not need new speakers (they can do stuff that I was not previously...

My dealer still does not have a list of confirmed prices of the new stuff. Can someone (preferably from Naim) post them here please. Ta. (Thanks to KM for the other post on this, but a full list would be useful) [This message was edited by J.N. on FRIDAY 18 October 2002 at 19:42.]

Ever since I first saw how easy Naim systems can be converted to active (in terms of equipment, not price) I have had a desire to eventually get to this level. The only problem is that unless your at cds3,552,500 level, logic can always support the...

Hi,I lurk quite frequently in the forum and notice that many of you speak of the Pro Walkman with great reverence. At first I thought it may be an "in joke" but am sure this is not the case.I gave up on the "compact cassette" about the time I upgraded...

For those who may be interested, I started a thread about these cables over here .Peter

Hi there. I'm new to the forum but not to naim audio. I need to buy a new cd-player, my 6 yo. arcam delta 270 have finally burnt the laser and there are no new lasers to be bought!! The cd will run with my nait 3r+ hi-cap. I really need some advice...

I'd like to have a little help with choice of speakers. Using cd 3.5, 92/90, and a lp 12 (lingo,akito2,k18) I'm experimenting with three pairs of speakers at the moment:Tukans, Kan 2's and Epos 14's. In general the Kans and Epos excites me more than...

What leads do I need to power a CD5 from a Hi-cap?Also what do I connect to what?

Had a weird idea.Is is possible/desirable to do either of the following two things:1) power the preamp section of a Nait 5 from one of Naim's older amps such as a 110. These can be had for less than hi-cap money. Also see #2.2) power the pre section...

Hi everyone,This might be old news already but got some new naim prices from dealer today.CDX2 £2650NAC202 £1375NAC282 £2750NAC250 £2250NAP200 £1345There are Naim prices in this month Hi-Fi news as well.

Using SBL`s with cds1/52/ 135`sHow good are the NBL`s and would this be the choice of those wanting more from their speakers.The detail of the SBL`s is excellent but not always as much depth that I would ideally likeKeith

Hi,A recommendation for a zero base analog user was to go for a Rega P2 (see "why should I go analog" thread) rather than investing a lot of money for a Linn, at least for a first step:My question is, how good is a Rega P2? Will I be satisfied for a...

Having been afflicted by this illness for years, I have a cupboard full of cables, much of which is Naim speaker wire of different ages.Is there a way to tell visually between NACA4 and NACA5?

Last night, the long awaited evening came when Malcolm Davey and myself were going to meet at Malcolm's house, drink a few beers, play some music (vinyl and CD) and compare our respective CD players (my CD5 vs Malcolm's CDX). Mrs Seagull drove the...

Hi,Recently I could listen to a top level LP12 and, of course, enjoyed it very much. Maybe I'm a bit mad, but considering to start listening to LP's is tempting me......My problem is: I got not one piece of vinyl....What would you do? Is it a...

Over the past month I have had the unusual opportunity to have five different NAC 52s to use in my home system; old, new, borrowed and blue (broken). I have been surprised by the large amount of variation in sound between the units. Burn in, warm up,...

I am extremely lucky to have just received a new LP12, ARO, XX2 and Prefix and have a few questions regarding setup. Before you say it I have done a search and get very close to an answer.Sounds good from the off, however I did notice that the bottom...

PaulCare to give us a hint on the upcoming mod's for the (suddenly) reviled 'old' gear...Oddly my system hasn't become crap overnight but if its tweakable I'd like to know.Big yourself Upredeye

Dear Naim HQ:Can the older style "olive" gear still be ordered at the old prices (pre-September launch) or do the new Naim list prices apply to both the new style gear (when it comes available) and the older "olive style" (while it remains...

The 72- hicap sounded great ( Nap 250, CD3). I have now a 102,pse, and my old hicap just died- back at nana for recap. While I wait any opinions on 72 to 102. Thanks Ted

I am thinking of pairing up a 250 with a 112/Hicap? Do you think this is a better match than a 72? I am using Epos14 right now.Any opinions welcomed. Thanks.
