Don't mix I'm afraid!Recently flooded - DO NOT use Berry/Bellings to repair your shower, if fact please avoid these companies like the plague. When they cock up they don't accept blame and don't have an effective insurance setup!Right I've got that...

Hello to you all,I currently have a 180/hi/72/ Cal audio Alpha Dac and Dx-1 CD system and have experienced incredible amount of rfi since getting the naim components. I know these are wide band things but the buzz is simply too loud (if you want to...

Anyone know what this costs?Other than AV/tuner upgrade are their any other software changes such as putting 'program' on the front page?

Hi ,i currently have 2x 250 power amps bi-amping speakers. I wondered if it is pos to use the two amps passively to drive isobariks ie turn them into 2 mono amps(cost effectively of course)RegardsDP

Have anyone tried using naim with a sub-woofer? any experiences to share....?

Hi once more,Yesterday I was listening to the brandnew CD of Patricia Barber (vocal jazz). The recording of this CD is very good (In fact it sounded fantastic through my CDX/XPS). This recording made me think about new formats and I now have a big...

I don’t know the answer, but in the last two days I think a lot about this.Only two years ago, Naim was a baby of the late JV. JV was a giant, and it was a question mark about the future of NAIM, is the one who takes JV’s place will be...

Hi!I am thinking of recording String Quartett by myself. I need microphones, mic-preamps, ADCs and a digital interface for my laptop. It is intended to be an audiophile recording...1.) Which microphones are perfect for Strings (e.g. Sennheiser...

Any views on the best way to record vinyl to CD. If through the computer, which software works best? How much influence does the soundcard have? Are stand alone "hi fi" CD recorders any better.I sometimes need to put together compilations track by...

Hi allHave any of you Brik users, had any experience of removing the old cannon type sockets, and replacing them with a pair of banana sockets?OrAny recommend a brand cannon plug or a technique for soldering them to Naim speaker cable?Your experience...

I'm curious:Has anybody been able to run thier Rega brand loudpspeakers actively in the context of a Naim or Linn system? Does this even seem possible? Judd

Does anyone know what type of electrolytic capacitors are found in a 110? I do not have one at present so I cannot pop open a case and find out. Any help is appreciated.Erik

Will this combination work?

Hi all:There was a thread recemtly about audio manipulation programs and I think someone was bemoaning the fact that Cubase is not available for Mac OSX. Good news,...

At the Heathrow show, GT Audio demoed a system using an awesome turntable that was highly communicative. This was the room with the Avantguarde Solos. Graham Tricker explained that this was a German turntable called the "dps" using a Schroder...

Obviously a biased view, but the sounds coming from the room this year were sweet.I must confess the treble harshness often associated with naim (in my experience) has gone, and I mean gone, but not at the expense of the fantastic Prat. The room was a...

Guys,I'm about to buy a s/h Gyrodec (Gyro SE with added lid, plinth and early model offboard PSU) later this week. The main reason for this is I have terrible problems with footfall vibration with my current TT - LP12/Akito/Sumiko BP with new Lingo -...

For those of you with old obscure turntables (I have a cupboard full of friends' cast-offs), it can be difficult/impossible to obtain new belts to fit.In fact my recent frustration arose because Mad Max has not been responding to my requests to sell...

Hi,Well I finally got round to doing something that I had planned and ran through in my mind but not had time for (too much woodwork) my Hifi was run from a separate breaker in the fuse box (the first one) down two 4mm twin and earths because I had...

Hi,Simple question: what do you think will be the bestseller/the one we love most of the new series?Naim might change their business plans seeing the results :-)....happy dayRetoCDX, NAC102, NAPSC, Hi-Cap, NAP 250 (on Target Rack), Chord Odysee 4,...

I'm becoming concerned by the apparent obsession with novelty as a 'good thing' in several threads. Newer certainly isn't always better in audio, or anywhere else.Apart from the obvious example of vinyl vs CD vs MP3 etc. Manufacturers may not be able...
