Hi-Fi Corner

My 250 has been home a while now. Maybe the sound had slowly 'gone off' and I hadn't really noticed it, but it sounded significantly better than when it went for service as soon as I plugged it all in. I always leave the stereo on and it has improved...

I have recently auditioned a NAP 160 and a NAP110 back to back. Both had been serviced in the last 3 years. The 160 is bolted case and the 110 is in a sleeve. The 110 was more "in your face" and the 160 smoother. For a given preamp setting the 110 was...

Hi,I need to replace my Denon DL-160 cartridge on my LP-12 / RB-300. I was thinking the Dynavector DV17D2 MKII as the way to go, but my next up grade is too the ARO arm. (I will buy one on my next trip to the UK feb 2003) should I get the Linn Arkiv...

I own a Nait 5.and I am to receive NAC 112 + NAC 150 + FC2 in a few days.I'll have to sell the Nait or the NAC.As I have a home cinema amp, I can use the NAP for the front speakers and the Nait for the rear (by pluging/unpluging the home cinema...

A lot of recent posts have been about fiddling, disatisfaction and upgrading.So the question is, a) which hifi purchases gave you least bother and b) which had you fart-arsing around for months and years.To kick off, P3/62/140/MS10 was great. The next...

I love music don't get me wrong, and I have learned a lot in terms of getting the best out of my system and making sensible upgrades from this forum, but...the forum plays host to a number of people who must spend sooooooo much time on experimenting...

HelloAs always I got problems =(This time it's about CDPlayer.NACD3A 'new' serviced NACD3 for almost the same price as a NACD2. Or NACD2, never serviced but just costs a little bit more. I will run the CDPlayer with my Nait 1 and Intro2So what do you...

Can someone please clarify which type of black snaics I need to connect up:NAC 72Hi-capNap 180Do I need 4 pin to 5 pin, 5 pin to pin, 4 pin to 4 pin? Please someone?ThanksBruce

Or should that be Keilidh, muddy Keilidh? Either way, have just picked a pair up as a stopgap and I must be honest, having just sold my Briks to a friend, I am not a happy chappie! Sounds like the music is being piped to me down a long, narrow tube...

How bigs the bead ?Guys - i find when resealing my SBLs that rather than using the nozzle (the thing that requires cutting) - i remove it and apply the sealant directly pressing the clear nozzle, i guess the bead maybe smaller, but surely this is...

Went to my dealer today to collect my serviced LP12 c/w new Klyde and somehow ended up with a pair of Naim IBL's in the back of the car to play with!A quick clean (you think Mana's a dustrap?) and removal of the various, once living, things nesting in...

Hello,has anyone used a Prefix with an Ittok?I was once told there were problems since the plug which goes into the base of the Ittok (an SME plug?) is difficult to put on the Prefix input lead. Is this the case and if so are there any...

First off, thanks to everyone who replied to my last post...it was all very helpful.Second, apologies if this post appears twice...browser problems...A few things to clear up:Sockets: unswitched doubles, surface-mount MK or Crabtree, but does having...

I've seen a few pictures where people ten to leave the snaxo cover off, and recall someone mentioning a sonic benefit, the same i comment was also made regarding the napsc.Anyone heard of this - doing this ?naheedactive is the only way...

Just got the latest issue of Listener magazine, and this months "Classic" is the Naim 32.5. THere's about 6 pages on this pre-amp, all very positive. How on earth are we supposed to pick up cheap used gear when Listener keeps writing about it? I...

Having thought about separate spur, Hi-caps or music work blocks, I thought I ought to start with the Flat earth, source first, Naim forum approach, to achieving a better power supply.This mod should improve PRaT as well as slam, and will benefit not...

Hi AllHas anybody else experienced the improvement wrought by moving the equipment on the rack so that it is in the middle of the shelf. I did this recently with my Micromega Stage5 on Sound Org rack and noticed that the sound was a bit better...

Currently I am in the England on a working holiday. Work is in PADSTOW CORNWALL. Im really loving it here. I knew England would have enormous historical interest but i wasnt prepared for the great natural beauty of the place but thats another story....

I've been looking lately for a simple/unobtrusive av system to replace my current effort.I was hoping a suitable/sensible offerring would arrive from naim, but i saw the Linn Classik the other day another all-in-one effort - which really appeals to...

Last fall I thought my system needed a boost so I sent my 160 in for service. The music is much better now but I had hopped that there would be more punch from the amp. Just recently I found another recently serviced 160 and biamped, not enough...

Hi, I’m french and have some Naim's electronic.At the outset, my sytem was being composed of a NAC102 and NAP180.As the NAC102 has no power supply this is the NAP180 who feeds it : the power current running from poweramp to the preamp. and the...
