I have a 5 into 1 Hydra, and currently use all 5 leads. However, due to some experimenting I'll only be using 4 of the leads, and 1 will be redundant.Question is, does this cause a problem, such as RF pickup or something else.Longer term I would trade...

Hi,The bottom of the drawer on my CD5 rubs against the case when it's about halfway closed. Except for the terrible grinding noise, would this affect the performance in any way? I *think* it shouldn't because the entire laser mechanism is part of the...

BackgroundI had been searching for a replacement, 'high end' cd player for well over a year, but though I managed to audition many decent and well-regarded cd players at home, I had never found 'the one' which would do justice to my own hifi...

http://www.kikyou.sakura.ne.jp/~uba/index.htm Too bad I can't read Japanese! This guy's up to all sorts of cool stuff: Can anyone give us the broad gist of what's going on?

Anyone tried a different cable with thier ittock.What were the results. Recommendations welcome.What type of cable plug is at the base of the ittock.SeanBuilders started yesterday to convert mt Garage into a hifi room. Impatiently waiting!

Can anyone comment from experience on how good the AV2 sounds when used as a DAC for stereo music, or a pre-amp?On it's own, I'm rather loath to spend over 2k on an AV decoder.However, the AV2 looks somewhat more enticing when you consider that it...

Hi all i know that bi-wire connections have been discussed before and i have replaced my jumper leads with naca5 with great results. However how do other naim users connect the naca5 speaker cable to the speaker terminals top or bottom or one of...

Two days ago, at the main evening news in the Israeli second channel, they gave a report about the vinyl phenomenal.Many youth (in Israel) are going to buy vinyl instead of CD’s. They gave few short interviews with youth and one expert (seems to...

I currently have a cds1/cdps - the nextel is in reasonable shape, I assumed the only way forward from this was the cds2/cdps or xps, and hence didn't really entertain the idea of servicing either (cds1/cdps).Anyway is seems that the mechanism can be...

Please give me information, advice, empathy etc.What’s the 52PS, how old a model is it, what’s the difference between it and the Supercap? How much should it cost S/H? Can it support (temporarily) a 72?I offered a dealer a 15-year-old set...

Hi Y'all,After checking out the 'Corras' (bedroom)table at IKEA, I decided to forget about it.In the end I found it too high, and they were in 4 different feneers but none of 'em to my liking.(and I also wanted to do the 'right' thing instead of the...

This has been said before. So have most things.There are two rather breathtaking improvements you can make to the sound of your records:1. Add Mana - this improves everything but most improves the leading edge definition of notes.2. Buy a record...

For the last 10 months, unknown to those around me, I have been conducting a small psychology experiment on myself. I wanted to see the effects of 'Hi Fidelity separation' or what happens when I am Naimless for long periods of time. I think that my...

HiI am thinking about buying another NAP250 and a crossover in order to go active. All my kit is the older style black with the chrome edge and I would like the crossover to match. According to Naims website the SNAXO was only introduced in 1995 and...

For those that saw our previous report ‘A Night out in Tunbridge Wells 2’, you may remember some debate between Nick Lees, Dave J and myself as to whether Tom Alves’ SBLs really did bass. Firstly Tom has decided to tip the balance...
