ChapsI have been away on business for the last couple of days and when I got home, I had a parcel which contained a Townsend s/sink table which I bought secondhand.These tables come in different sizes to accomodate the weight of the black box which is...

All this talk about source first, and me just getting cable hooked up in my new digs, has got me wondering.I live in Oakton, Virginia and our cable system is analog. The cable company is in the process of converting to digital cable, whatever that...

What is the right way to adjust the tunebox, is it by ear or?For best sound.MatsSagitarius in aeternum

I've just dem'd a CD5 against other products at a similar price bracket from Arcam and MF.Unsurprisingly, I thought the CD5 creamed it, but I did want to prove the point to myself.Can anyone give me their experiences of directly comparing a CD5 to a...

Hello all.Even after 6 months, the honeymoon period with the CD5 isn't over - what a wonderful player!Funds now permit a FC2. I've read all the threads about FC2 vs S/HHi and I think I'll get the best result with the former.But where to site it? Can...

Anyone ever owned these? Still use them?They're excellent speakers for the money. And I've got a pair in black finish which I want to sell (I'm now using Credos).What are Minstrels worth these days?!!! There's always money somewhere for the next...

Anyone had a proper SL2 demo yet either in a dealer or a home loan? How do they compare to the SBLs. At twice the price hopefully there are improvements beyond the aesthetic and not having to use sealant.

Following the new Naim gear demo at Chester, there will also be one in Staffordshire on the 14th November.For details of exact location and time call John McEvoy at ACOUSTICA STAFFORD on 01785 258 216.Numbers will be strictly limited, so make that...

Having had the loan of the new 552 for a week, if I decide to proceed and shell out the readies, what advice do Forum members offer with regards to fair trade in from dealer? How much could I realistically expect if I sell the 52/Supercap privately?...

Anyone selling their CD player? CD3 or 3.5. I am in Malaysia. Thank you.

Hi,After an unsuccesful search for a KEF B110 SP157 driver for one of my Linn Kans, I'm embarking on the holy search for a new pair of speakers.Being a Linnie at heart (but having a lot of naimee friends!!!).;) I decided to seek psychological advice...

Assuming Naim has upgraded the crossover maybe this is a worthwhile upgrade option for the SBL???

just wondering anyone tried this 4 speaker spikes glued to 10mm mdf sounds improved no end under cd 3.5 made one for my flatcap as well.just realised sold the b+w floorstanders but kept the spikes, thats where they came from

I left Naim for the summer, got outdoors. I come back and nothings the same. I look at Naim's product section and everythings changed. It's ALL new gear. The stuff I knew and loved seems replaced. Amps, PreAmps, Speakers, even CD Players. Even the...

Hi AllThis is one for the Linn Lingo owners. As you can easily adjust the voltage etc. on the back of the Lingo what should it be set for in the UK? We used to be 240V but now appear to be 230V mains supply. Should the lingo be set for 240 or 230 and...

Very nice 11 page review in sep/oct hifi+.Three opinions based upon use within different systems:P Messenger after parting company- "I'll still be enjoying my hifi, but it won't be quite the same after sampling what the 552 can do, especially when...

...is the 112/150 combo over the Nait 5?With reasonably efficient speakers and sane listening levels, is there much of a difference?I know this is a "newbie" type of question, but now that I'm *really* thinking about plonking down my hard-earned dosh,...

I have a NAT02 which is suffering a sick decoder. I plan to return it to Naim for a service - any useful recommendations for which courier to use? Some of them only seem to insure stuff up to £500. (Before anyone asks, I'm about 250 miles away...

So, the old Pioneer PD75 finally died after a lingering illness, (don’t laugh, it was ok in its day) and it’s time for a new CD player.I have LP12/Ittok/Karma/ NAT03/32.5/Hicap/250/Epos ES14, so I suppose the obvious candidate, on...

As a result of buying a subwoofer, I've discovered that my existing system (when the sub is turned off) has an interesting set of bass humps. The sub came with a frequency test CD and it shows that there is a hump around the 70hz mark and another...

I have just purchased an XPS for my CDX player and am looking forward to many hours of good listening.How long does it take for the XPS to come on song and whats the best way of getting the best out of the XPS.Finally many thanks to Julian of Jeffries...

Every time I upgrade a box, especially electronics, I can count on a couple of things happening. First, I get more bass, deeper and better. Second, backup instrumentation gets louder relative to vocals or the lead instrumentation. Overall it's a big...
