Hi-Fi Corner

Mark Packer gave to 27 June an important advice in the thread "Dedicated Spur Question". Over dedicated spur was said already much, so that some does not look in. One cannot judge unfortunately always from the heading contents. Therefore I want to...

Has anyone got any photos of the 32.5 and 42.5 pre- amps? Front/back. Thanks, Ray.

Hi all !I am plan to buy CD5. I have never had a chance to hear CD3.5, CDX or even CDS(II). But I was heard CD5, Nait5, Intro2. I found Intro2 as a very dissapointing, but CD5 jumps from that system like a real star in all areas. CD5 is definitely...

Dear all,yesterday evening i got the chance to hear the new552 at U.Hohn's place.First, thanks to Stefan Gellrich, owner of SG-Akustik in Karlsruhe (Germany) bringing thepre. Also to Ruediger Jankowski (sp), who accompanied Stefan.And last not least...

HiHas anyone already experienced the new SL 2 loudspeakers?They seem quite expensive compared with the SBLs.Worthy??Christian

I don't know what direction Russ Andrews is facing, but his latest magazine has letters from three Naim owners praising his wares! I sense a conspiracy afoot? There is also review of a guy's system with a Marantz CD & Amp who seems to have spend £'000s on every bit of wire and mains gizmos that RA make! A true "90% on the wires, 10% on the equipment" believer. Anyone out there a RA fan? Oak feet? I have some Yello cables on Linn equipment which bring modest improvements DS OTD - Blue -...

Hello everyone, I know I'm naughty and shouldn't do it... but I'm after a 32.5, anyone out there who could help me? I've been offered a 42.5 but I'm told to hang fire and aim for a 32.5. What do I do? Thanks, Ray. [This message was edited by raymond on THURSDAY 04 July 2002 at 16:43.]

While I am waiting for NANA (well, it has been a holiday week I suppose) to get to my email, does anyone know what the options are for MC with the 552? Is it only the Prefix, or are there phone boards inside. I didn't see any BNCs on the back. I...

Does anyone have any experience with this combination dvd/vhs player?

Before I can afford for a new Nai cd 5 source,I´ve got the cvhance to buy a Rega Planet second hand!As I´ve got a Naim Nait 5 amplifier this source will work fine or it will lacks dynaMIC?my dealer told me to listen Rega source maybe it works...

I am intending to construct a power supply to power a 32.5 pre-amp, I know that buying a Naim power supply is the correct way to tackle the problem but limited funds don't allow for this hence DIY. I have a 300va toroidal with 2x25 volt secondaries, 2...

Well I've been promising this forever, and I finally allocated a spare moment to do it. Here are a few pics of my listening space. If you remember, it's quite small (8x12 feet), with a 4x2' closet cutting into one corner. There's also a bay window, so...

hi everybodysounds nice (hopefully great), looks nice, costs a lot of money....At what level (equipment) would you go for it?Of course it also improves a smaller system butthe price relation seems to be a bit ridiculous.So at what level is the price...

Has anybody heard one of these? The changes seem so radical surely it would have been easier to just buy a completely different type of TT to begin with? There is a review in the latest Hi-Fi +.

Normally naimy type people selling stuff.Now I know I subscribed to something, but for the life of me can't find the website there is only an unsubscribe link in the messages which I don't want to do! can someone guide me!cheers

IN my limited experience with TT, i think the Michell Gryodec does PRaT rather well. Is there other TTs that does PRaT well? please recommend.

They sound great, but I'm sure there's some fine tuning still to do! Paul

I've searched around the various forums and the Naim site and have been unable to find an Aro setup/installation manual (for an LP12). Does anyone know where I could find such a beast on-line? If one doesn't exist, I suppose I can always try ...

Hi,I'll start with a quick question for anyone with a Prefix. ( I am about to aquire a s'cap for my 82 , leaving my hi-cap looking for work . )Do I assume correctly that my present phono cards sit behind Input 1 and that these get replaced with...

Anyone know the price(s) and storage capacity options: the April News said details would be announced 'shortly' but can't find any info on the site.cheersLee

I have just picked up a 1984 HiCap to power a 72 into a 90/3.The HiCap hasn't been back in for a service (checked with Naim) and to be honest I would've sent it in anyway to be on the safe side. The question is, is it possible to define what a "tired"...

I'm confused, always have been. Here's a few reasons why:'Ekos has much better grip and control, awesome bass'.'Aro really makes an LP12 sing'.'Ekos is a control freak, sterile, unengaging; an Ittok's more fun'.'Aro is warm but veiled, hardly any...

OK, Been waiting for the issue after May/June to come out for ages. Does anyone know if/when July/August is out yet, and if so where on earth does one get a copy in Berkshire???? Smiths don't have it in Reading, Bracknell or Wokingham.It's a bloody...

Hi Guys, I have an opportunity to buy a 10 years old SBL for the price of a new Nait 5. Currently, I am using a Nait 5 and I will not be upgrading the amp for a year or two. What do you guys think? Any other things to beware of when buying an old ...

Hi Guys, I have borrowed a Rega P3 for the weekend, (possible purchase). The serial No is 292XXX, can anyone tell me how old it is by the serial no. If not I will contact rega tomorrow. First impressions are O.K. but very ordinary, but then again it's...
