Hi-Fi Corner

Preamps: two rca inputs, phono via stageline only. Unlike the Nait, they don't use the resistor ladder for volume control.Power supplies:Hicap--"dual 24V" like the Flatcap 2. Is one of these lower current like the FC2?NAPSC: "can be used to power the...

Hello my North American chums - Has anyone heard the new Meadowlark speakers - I think they're called the Swift(?) - Small, tapering floorstanders constructed from solid ash and with a transmission line design - and....they seem rather...

Fist off, please bear with me and let me say that Western Power are a bunch of tossers. We've had surges, brownouts and general mains oddness for the last three weeks, culminating yesterday in a total failure for eight hours. I'm assuming this wasn't...

I recently had a sagging-drawer problem with my CDX, and it was (not wrongly) suggested that it may have been caused by my slamming the drawer shut too hard, causing the drawer stop to crack inside the player. (Although I don't ever recall having...

Any word on how much the new boxes are going to cost us (apart from "lots")? I haven't found a price list anywhere. If anyone from NANA's around, when will the new gear be available in the US?

Hi, I just yesterday bought a beautiful NAIT5 and hooked it up to my second hand CD3.5 and a pair of B&W CDM 1NTs and with in the first 30 seconds of power up trouble began. The CD player started to make a horrible grinding motor noise and before I could power it down it ate the CD and puck. So my question is what do you all think is wrong with my CD3.5? And how much do you think it will cost to fix? Thanks in advance, Jude

Tim,I unsuccessfully tried contacting you through your tjg email account (as given in your profile). Send me a message to my email account and I'll get back to you.AndrewAndrew RandleTip 1: Change your mains plug fuses at least once a year

if i put my ear up to my 3.5 i can hear a faint hum, no hum on the flatcap. any ideas, is it serious.

i wonder which cable would sound the best for a 3.5 cobra mk1 or cryhsalis, any advice please. cheers

I made a big mistake last night that is going to cost me a few hundred pounds.I borrowed a HiCap.It seems that at some point between me plugging it in to the 42.5, and turning it on, some hi-fi benefactor must have sneaked into my lounge and replaced...

anyone ever tried dnm reson ic,s what do you think?

I've had a peek under the bonnet of all of my Naim boxes, just to make sure no-one's swapped the innards for a giggle. All, except the 20 which has lots of serious looking allen bolts on the underside.Undoing them would obviously get me into the case...

Just read an interesting looking post about the idea of using granite slabs under speakers as plinthsAnyone tried it? What were the effects?Are these a cheap way of replicating the mana effect?

I need some info on the old products, does anyone know where to access it ?Thanks

MM or MC? In replies to my previous anaologue questions, nobody mentioned this number board, but upon getting the 72 naked, these are the ones behind the BNC connectors. Thanks,David

I am sure this has been asked before, and i have scrolled through quite a bit of messages, but here goes. currently have 72/140. these are about 8-10 years old and have never been re-capped. have only had them 6 months, and local dealer gives 80%...

Hi folks.Just a quick question. I have an idea for a readily available cable to make speaker cable out of - and as far as I can tell it would work, but not being as up with the electronics as some around here I thought I'd run it past and see if this...

I have the (not bad) dilemma of upgrading a CDS2/82/Hi-Cap/SBL system by either substituting the Hi-Cap for a Supercap or ditching the tripods it currently sits upon now and doing the 5 tier Fraim thing for the whole shooting box.Has anyone been in...

Hello all,Some will remember me - I used to be a forum regular a few years back but drifted away due to the 'upgradeitis' that daily forum visits would incur...And now I come back and the whole product range has changed....I feel lost...So can someone...

Hi,My current system: CDX,XPS,102,NAPSC,250,6shelfFraim,ProAc2.5,ChordOdysse.I want to upgrade up to a certain point which might be as follows: CDS3 level, 252,300...that means saving money for about 2-3 years.Source first would mean I go for CDS3,...

i thought i was cured. but i did pay some quid for the usual bad prose and stupid stuff. whatever, the reason i bought it is because the german magazine stereoplay offered a cd. the cd has 20something tracks. each track plays a piece of music on a...
