Hi-Fi Corner

Hi folks.I'm asking this on behalf of a friend who has a spare HiCap but isn't a member here. He's not sure how much the going rate for a secondhand HiCap of approximately 1992 vintage (TBC by serial no) and where best to sell it? He's also Edinburgh...

to this system ?Naim CDXNAC 102NAP 180Flatcap2Nautilus 804A Hicap ? a new preamp ? a new amp ? I'm interested in a pair of NAP 135.I would like less harshness in medium/treble, more punch and more bass.Thanks for your replies.

Mr A recommends not passing the signal through the hi-cap. i.e. power goes from hi-cap to pre amp, signal goes from pre amp to power amp. Instinctively keeping power (albeit low voltage) and signal separate seems sensible but surely Naim didn't just...

Anybody heard these. I have CDSII, 52, 135's and Electa Amator II's. Thinking of upgrading and was thinking of either the Cremona or Guarneri Any comments?

Hello all, Can you SBL fans out there.........Yes YOU!! Please explain the history of the SBL, from when it was born to its last production run & the differences in between. In short what model is the best to go for second-hand in a price to performance ratio?? Mad Boy Matt

I vaguely remember mention of this topic before but would appreciate any advice:I am planning on going active with two 250s/SBLs. While waiting for my SNAXO to arrive is it possible/safe to use one channel of each 250 for each speaker and leave the...

On the kind invitation of my dealer, I popped by the showroom yesterday for a listen to the "humble" Nait 5, alternating with the formidable 52/SC/135s. This was after a long hiatus from the audio scene, so tinged with scepticism (since we were...

Hello all.I'm new to the forum, and fairly new to Naim, having only recently bought a CD5.I'm now looking to change my amp (a large Sony 'thing') for something to get me on the Naim ladder. I've heard a few things of late, and the Nait 5 didn't...

Are there any Naim AC products planned for the future? Power bars, conditioners? I would love to see some product that resolved the continual AC issues and brings out the Naim magic more consistently.What about better interconnects or cables?

I would appreciate a bit of advice on the potential purchase of a 1996 CD2.I haven't auditioned it as yet and hope to be in a position to borrow it to listen to at home rather than in-store and that will be the acid test. However, I've noticed that...

Hi,Even though its not a Naim amp , good people lurk around these forum, so here it goes.One of my LK240 is making weird power-up noises (pop and hissing). On initial power-up the amp is supossed to go to idle mode, but the noise keeps it from not...

Hi All,I keep seeing references to the Naim CDi player but can't find it in the product history on the web site. Is this just a misprint for the CD1 or something else.Thanks in advanceYours in Music Syd

Hello, I'd like your view on my next upgrade. My system is currently : Lp12/Lingo/Ittok/17D2, CDI, 82/Hi-Hi/250 & SBL's. I've got three options on Ex-Dem equipment. 1. Supercap (Money left Over) 2. 52/Supercap (That's it!) 3. 135's. (A bit of money left over) Also, and here's the potential problem, is the possibility (Just) of 135's + Super. So, please let me know what you think. Regards, Darren Cotter P.S. If I go for options 1 or 3, I could get a Prefix for the LP12 as I have a spare...

Hello!I've been seeing my Hi-Fi Shrink for some time now. We are discussing my need for new speakers. My shrink has an open attitude, which is good. This is based on his own multi-culture system consisting of British Linn CD, Candadian Bryston...

I'm looking to replace my active Isobariks and was wondering if anybody has been in a similar situation. Current list of possibles are NBL's, Shahinian Hawks. Have always used Linn speakers, so unsure as to any other possibles.

When you are saying that component "x" will be better several weeks after you are starting to listen to it, don't you think that maybe after several weeks you are becoming to be used to the sound of the component rather than that something is actually...

A few days back I decided to arrange for my Kans to hang on the wall. I had done some searching on the forum about wall mounts, and it seemed to be an ok idea. Especially as I don’t have the original Linn stands anyway and as my current stands...

Hi!I would like to have your opinions about getting a new rack to my gear. After refurnishing our living room my old wallmounted set up had to go. Worked quite good actually. I hope for a total cost at about £600. My dealer suggested Projekt but...

Last week I was talking with my dealer and he told me that Castle speakers have now a agent in Portugal.He ask me :" Do you know that Naim amplifiers and Castle speakers do a fine match?"Anyone heard this comb speakers / amplifiers and can help me?In...
