When I program the CD song order on my new CD5 everything works fine while the CD is in the player, but when I take it out and play it again later the CD5 doesn't remember that it was programmed. Shouldn't the CD5 remember or do I have to program the...

Hi DerrenTried e-mailing you direct but no joy. Looking at the pic of your system in the 'Listening Rooms' thread and I have a question...If those are Doublets whats the story with the plinths you've got under them? They don't look like the standard...

Hello:My dealer advice to me a Epos M 12 to go with my Nait 5!Anyone knows these speakers?Are they a good match for my amplifier or it needs a more expensive like Proac?
jhoPosted: 07 August 2002Last Updated: 08 August 2002
Recently demo a S/H epos 14, it looked quite good condition except the driver on the left seems to be re-glued before. Although not obvious but take a closer look tells you. The speaker sounded great to me partnering with my CD5/112/150. Very musical...

Or, to put it another way, when will our wirelesses cease to be of use?I recall someone mentioning 2010, but maybe that was for something else. The only radio I use these days is the little Tivoli Henry Kloss Number 1 - which is a superb wee thing...

Why is it that some days my stereo sounds like the dog's *esticles, then others it sounds pants?... I find relief in this being a (seemingly) a common problem... people say that Naim is very sensitive to mains quality.However, just to throw a spanner...

HiPlease excuse me if this has been asked before. What type of caps do naim use in their equipment I thought it was BHC but I popped the sleeve off of my Hi Cap to discovery some very shiny red caps with I think JTS on them, is this normal or have I...

allthe new edition of hifi choice carries a very favourable review of the SL2's. it's a little brief, but basically sums them up as insightful and detailed speakers (if memory serves).there's also a quick review of the Fraim in a "stand shoot out",...

Decided to level my cds spindle yesterday (as opposed to relative to the casing)Took some messing around - as to my shock I discovered I hadn't actually levelled the main rack...Anyway I wasn't really expecting any improvement - though after a quick...

Can we have some sort of amnesty so we can change our profiles.I'm a bit Buffied out, tired of all my 'F' words, might soon fix my web site, don't use poxy DNM cable anymore, and, above all, I need to publicise my angle iron. . .Also, as Vuk says, I...
EngelbertPosted: 06 August 2002Last Updated: 07 August 2002
Seems there are quite a few vexed forum members at the moment concerning release of new/upgraded NAIM equipment, especially concerning CD players (notably CDX). I appreciate that NAIM probably wishes to keep silent about what is in store over the next...

I remember when these preamps were a valid choice for the venerable 250 or 135's.Does this still make sense?I'm replacing my Linn amplification with Naim (finally came to my senses again!). Currently running 42.5/HiCap/110 into my 'Briks....

J.N.Posted: 04 August 2002Last Updated: 06 August 2002
Bit of an old chestnut this one, but it's normally about the more expensive players.I'm currently using a CD5 (with a F/C2) into a 32.5 - 160 and a pair of Quad ESL 57's.I can hear a difference; selecting tracks on the player and the remote control.It...

There are times when I think that a one bored member is rating the threads as a fun for him.I think that Naim have to write a program that will rate the threads only if there ia a minimum number of responses and only if more than a given number of...

Hi guys!I'm full of questions these days...Did anyone find a creative way to dim the "headlights" on the Series 5? I mean, in a dark room I can read a book over them!I don't really mind the, lets say, shabby look of the stuff but those lights... shoot...

I am quite excited. I am not normally. CDX/72/Flatcap (I know it should be a hi)/140 here. I believe I have found a wonderful combination here in the Reference 3a speakers i just received and my NAIM system. Super fast, communicative mids and that...

Yesterday I got a new (well new to me) pair of 135s to replace my 140.I know some will say that things are now a bit unbalanced but when I got my 72/140 the 72 was the top of the range and the 135s were as well so it must have been valid then. Anyway...
