Hi-Fi Corner

I need some help setting up a Hi-Cap to power my 3.5!I have removed the link plug from the back of the 3.5 and connected a 240 degree 5 pin din connector to socket 4 of the Hi-Cap, but when I switch the Hi-Cap on the CD doesn't power up??? I have...

I´m intersted in Exposure 2010 cdp but today I was reading What Hi-fi and it gives 3 stars to build quality and 5 stars to sound!Should I forget build and go for the sound or build is important and why?

I currently own A CDX and Credo's, however my amplification is Audiolab C&P. I am considerring an upgrade because I feel there is more to be had from the CDX. My question is this, do I change to Naim amps, Probably a 102\180 combination which will give me greater synergy or do I go for an XPS. I feel that the system could have a bit more control, particularly where the bass is concerned. My room acoustics are not great and bass boom has been a problem. If anyone is interested the system is...

I HAVE RECENTLY ADDED A HICAP TO POWER ANALOGUE OUTPUT OF MY CD5 (FANTASTIC UPGRADE)AND HAVE CONNECTEDIT WITH A GREY SNAIC (5 PIN). THE REST OF MY SYSTEM IS BLACK SNAICS. I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE IT TO BLACK ALSO. I HAVE A SPARE 4PIN BLACK...

Hi all! Next week I'll be checking out a Naim setup (NAC 112, NAP 150 & CD5) against my current Marantz CD-63 mk2 KI & PM-66SE KI. The speakers I use are Scan-Speak Reference Monitors, a DIY kit I build some 4 years ago. It's a 2-way system with the D2905/99000 Revelator & 18W/8546/01. In my opinion this is one of the best 2-way speakers available at a more than a reasonable price of € 560 each I have no doubts whatsoever the Naim set will beat the Marantz hands-down, so probably there...

Hi folks.Much as we love our little Nait-2 based second system, we're willing to sacrifice a bit of sound quality for convenience and a better cd player than the DVD player we currently use*.Mrs-to-be Cat wishes to have a remote control which operates...

Hi allDoes anybody know of a good make of XLR plugs that will accomodate NAC A5 for my linn saras. Currently using cheapos from maplin but they were a pig to solder and they dont seem to make a good clean connection.Thanks in advancesyd

My beloved wife on a mission from Ikea, has come home with a flexible black plastic tube (about an inch in diameter - together with some cable ties typically used to tidy up computer leads) that is designed to tidy up the bag of my gear - you know the...

Several years back I had one fitted to my table, not comparing one with and one without. I was at my local dealer who was having a TT tune-up session. They did a fine job setting up my LP12 and I bought the Tramp that they recommended.My LP12 sits on...

Does anyone have any idea if there is a market for second hand Valhallas and if so how much they are going for?Thanks to a fellow forum member, I'll be having a Lingo fitted tomorrow, and I was wondering if it was worth advertising the Valhalla?Thanks...

I'm looking to go active with a set of Isobariks (PMS Ser# 00265x, early 80's, Naxo3-6, ser# 44xxx). I'm wondering what the most cost effective amplification route is. I'm going to temporarily use a borrowed six pack of 135's, but I'd like to know the...

There must be something in the air!Anyway, I took the baseboard off, and had a prod inside, and it seems that the on-board fuse has blown - in fact, it's blown the metal end-cap off!I realise that the fuse is likely a symptom, not the cause, but I'd...

HiI have seen some mark 1 IBL's for sale they are up for £250 does that seem a fair price or a bit steep?Cheers

As part of buying some blaick snaics over the phone today I mentioned that christmas was coming and I may upgrade my 72 to an 82. The nice dealer confirmed the rumour. 82 to stay in production at least short term and new 282 to be introduced at the...

Is it worth buying a 6yr old 72/140 at 780pounds, can anyone give some advice or reviews on it. Thanks, i am now using a 112/150/cd5. thought of getting it as a second set. In where i am, S/H naims are scarce.

Funny (i think)... Just saw a brand spanking new CD5 (1250) and Nait 5 (800) advertised for 650 & 1050 respectively. I thought these babies had 'just' been released, either they are BAD or there bad !!! Naheed naheeed...

I'm using a pair of intro 2s with CD5/FC2/Nait 5 on a quadraspire table. Basslines have an un-naimlike looseness which is affecting timing and, as I can feel the deeper notes through the floor in the next room, I think the intros prob aren't as stable...

My system comprises: Completely upgraded LP12 with Ekos/Lingo/Archiv all recently serviced and checked out by Rayleigh Hi-Fi52/Supercap/250/CDX/EPOS22 SPEAKERSCan anyone recommend upgrades to my LP12 as I feel the reproduction from the LP12 is way...

Does anyone have any information regarding the tuner socket (180 deg. 5 pin DIN) on a 32-5 (i.e., which lines carry the left/right channel, etc.). I picked up a funky old KLH 18 tuner and need to fabricate an appropriate cable. The NAT 01 is a bit...

Linn KansI have recently been reading a number of posts about these little speakers.I have looked back through the forum and also looked at peoples profiles.The number of people using thes speakers on the end of quite serious systems suggests to me...

I am not sure that I can get an integrated to equal performance of my Spectral gear, but because of worsening physical disabilities that preclude much bending and carrying heavy stuff, my hifi life would be made MUCH easier if I could get a great...

I have had my CD5 for a couple of months now. Its been powered on all the time (except when we were away for a week and during the recent thunderstorms). Last night I put on a new cd (Joy Division - Substance 1997-1980, I have most of these songs but...

I have some questions about the additional rear channel of the AV2:a) is the signal mono or stereo? Theoretical it has to be mono, but in the manual the rear output is specified with ch1 and ch2.b) should I use two loudspeakers for this channel in any...
