my flash remote decided to play up yesterday. normally when you pick it up, it goes on automatically. yesterday it didnt.obvious. i havent changed the battteries since i got the unit about this time last year. changed baters to a fresh set carefully...

Hi,My first two days with XPS:everything seems to improve..... great stuff.There's just one thing I recognised: Some CD'swhich I considered as well balanced recordings suddenly seem to loose their balance (voices andflutes for example sound kind of...

I have learned the way of the enlightened, starting with a 2nd hand purchase of a 10yr old mint condition CDi. This was followed quickly by a 92R/90 combo (budget restrictions...and it was a great improvement over my Marantz CD63SE/PM66SE+Kef Concerto...

We were visiting some friends recently and somehow the conversation moved round to money and hi-fi. Our friends were amazed when my wife told them how much I'd recently spent - I didn't like to tell them that was only for a cd player, speakers and a...

Looking for advice on bi-amping with 4 x 135. I'm sure a supercap only has 3 stereo line output's to power amps' and I'm therfore one channel short.Do I need one cable made up to divide the signal for 2 135s or do I need two of these cables. What do...

Could somebody please post any Tukan pictures they might have. Thanksjudd

I've read a lot on the forum about the various merits of the Audio Technica electronic stylus cleaner.I'm fortunate enough to have just found one. However...it seems that Dynavector warn against its use. Has anyone with a Dynavector ignored this...

I saw a picture of these Italian floorstanders in a Hi-fi magazine this month, and they look gorgeous.Does anyone know what they sound like, and where I could demo them in the north of England?Steve D

curiosity got the better of me,in 1992 i auditioned a project tt, a linn basik and the tt i eventually bought. a s/h rega in the same price region. on the bill it says it's a "split slap". well it's obviously split. does anyone know anything about...

Have searched the forum but couldn't find any answers to this one....Have a CDPS with a CDX, which sounds fab, but gives a very faint hum which is definitely audible when it is switched on (which is all of the time). This hum is not through the...

Hi Can anyone shed any light on these models {Naim Nap 125 Power & Naim NAC 225 Pre Amp} The only other info I have on them is that they were manufactured by naim either in New Zealand or for the NZ market. Thanks Jim

Hello All, I'm thinking of spending aroung £2000 on my current system: LP12/Ittok LVIII/17D2/Lingo, CDI, 82/Hi-Cap * 2/250 & SBL's. I also a have chrome bumper style 250 & Hi-Cap that are not currently being used. The obvious choice might be to go for a CDX, but most seem to think that it only beats a CDI when partnered with a XPS, and my next upgrade may be some time coming. I would also like to fully naim the LP12, but after changing the arm & power supply separately, it might be...

Have you ever compared Naim A/C cables with non-ones?What do you think about it? Is it a good way to improve a Naim-system?ThanksCharles

Hello As you know I´m looking for a new cd player.I want to know if I get a better sound adding a hi-cap to my Nait 5 instead a flatcap. MY sistem : Naim Nait 5 amplifier,Nad c 540 cd player,B&W 601 speakers,Naca5

Seen in "Veckans Affärer" - the leading business magazine in Sweden:The Swedish right wing leader Bo Lundgren (representing 20-21% of the Swedish voters) was asked about his favourite possession: "my SEK 50,000 Naim stereo".Is his maybe spending...

My dealer says the 135 has already gone, and gets the strong impression that the whole 'old case' range (e.g. CDS2, 52, 250) is for the chop very soon. Anyone else aware of this?

Firstly I must admit to my stupidity. After getting my nice new 135s I have run out of space on my eq racks I decided to go look for some new ones and left the Quadraspire catalogue lying about. The wife likes the AV cabinet as it will hide all the...

My CD5 misreads some of my cd's. After closing the door, the CD5 spins the disc and a few seconds later I hear a typical sound ("clunk") , after which the display gives no track numbers.What is the cause and cure?- puck?- cleaning cd?- ?Theo

After 12 years of running isobariks i feel it may be time for a change. Living in the artic wastes of northern scotland does not allow easy access to a wide variety possible candidates. So far i,ve tried B&W 802's, JM Lab Mezzo Utopia, Neat Ultimatums & B&W 805 Signatures, all of which, for one reason or another, were not for me. If there are any ex Barik owners who have made a successful and happy change? I would be grateful if you could post your finds. I have been thinking about Wilson...

just thought I'd share my delight with my new setup. Have just moved from cd3.5/72/140 to cd3.5/Hi/102/Napsc/Hi/180 and the difference is amazing A big thanks to all who have helped in answering my questions, either directly or in response to other...

I want to start getting into vinyl and that means I need to know what I need in terms of phono stage etc.--- or-- do I already have the necessary phono boards in my 72?? If so, are they MM or MC Hammer? It is a stock unit as far as i know (bought...

I will be in London on business in mid-September. I am interested in visiting a few hifi shops that hopefully specialize in vinyl and some record shops. Any recommendations are appreciated.

I finally found out that 90.3 is the upgraded version of the 90.So whats was improved in the 90.3 as compared to the 90?It is very different sonically?
