As you know I´m looking for a new source!As I´ve got a Nait 5 and a Nad 540 source the dealer ask me wich speakers I´ve got!When I told him that I´ve got a B&W 601 he told me that it was the weakest link in my sistem!I argue with him that source was more important,but he remenber me that important too is speakers and amplifier!I think some of you forget this comb Speakers/Amplifier and enphasise source first!

If I want to change from isobarik to Ninka, is this stupid, can I win something on the way, except easy handling(smaller speakers).I guess that one thing I loose is the more powerful bass.So the question is isobarik still a real kicker,and should I...

32.5's are proving quite elusive - my first two attempts at sourcing a used one have not been successful. So, if any members have a spare gathering dust, please send me an email.cheers,Dan

I keep seeing AV1's cropping up all over the place for what seems to be peanuts. I know it's been replaced by the all-singing, all-dancing AV2, but I'd like to know where the AV1 fits in the grand scheme of things.I can't seem to find...

The chap I bought my 52 from (who was moving to Chord Amps) swore by the positive effect his PS Audio mains regneration device had (he quoted it cost him £3k and visually looked to me like the top of the range P1200). He did live a gob spit away...

Does anybody here have any experience with a Rega P25 ansd/or the Rega Exact cartridge. I am looking for a TT in this price range that has a high output cartridge (at least 4mv) but still gets to the core of the music. I know I could get a used LP12...

Hi CDX owners, Thinking of purchasing second-hand cdx and wanted know if it play cdr? And also what would be the best speakers for CDX, 102 & 180.( I heard it with B&W Nautilus 804 with Chord odyssy speaker cable and sounded great) Thanks

The biggest pain in the ass, IMHO, about the whole analogue/vinyl business is the fact that your stylus gradually gets worn (also the cartridge itself, of course, eventually). Not only that but there seems to be no solid consensus about how many LP...

OK this may be a dumb question but, since I'm in my first season playing the Naim game I was wondering if you journeymen could help me. I just got hold of an original flatcap not the (2) Can I use the Flatcap to power a CD 5? I remember reading about...

Anyone using this speaker. Can advise me on the placement of the speakers? I am placing it against a straight wall. Using a 24" height stand. Feels somehow a bit lack in bass.
jhoPosted: 25 July 2002Last Updated: 29 July 2002
Have anyone tried these combo of a 112 with 250, CD5/FC2?Will it sound better than my current setup. 112/150/CD5?Is it true that old naim cannot mixed with new naim? Can someone from Naim answer this question?

After years of resisting, I've finally caved in. Found an LP12/Ittok/Valhalla for *cheap* and just couldn't resist the temptation.It's been CDs for me all along (I've never even owned tapes!) so I'm getting used to the added complexity of playing...
