OK, so my dilemma is...Having just got my Gyrodec with RB300 out of storage and fitted a new Rega Super Elys cartridge, I have started to discover the joys of Vinyl again.With some long hours at work coming up, I may have some cash to burn - what to...

I have an old rega planar 3 with the old s shaped arm.The cartridge on it when I got it was a goldring 1012, the stylus has been replaced once in my ownership, but I don not know the history of the cartridge body itself.I think it is time for...

Hi everbody,Is there anybody who experienced a Pro AcResponse 2.5 together with Naim amps?How good are they?

This is not meant to be the type of question which sets member against member depending on their particular preference of hifi boxes. I am however curious as to why people who have no Naim kit in their current system contribute on a regular basis to...

I've been building my system since i was in my early teens (garrard sp25 / goldring g800 / amstrad 1c2000 amp & acoustra 2500 speakers!) and have now reached the relative nirvana of active sbl's / cds2 / 52 etc. ... it sounds fabulous and i haven't regretted the journey / the dems / the cash / the shows etc. - The problem is that i just don't listen to it anymore ... Why? I think its a combination of three things 1. I don't have as much time on my hands as i used to - i work like a dog and...

I've got a fairly knocked about old pair of Kan Is in black-ish finish.I've converted them to active operation, and with prowling kids they're the ideal speaker sitting on Sound Org wall brackets.We're just about to get our lounge spruced up and the...

Hi folks,Don't get me wrong! The subject of this topic is absolutely not my opinion, but this weekend I came across this site:www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Tables.htmlIt's from a guy who dares to say that the LP12 is te most overrated audiocomponent of all...

Ok folks,new home, new carpets and a concrete floor. The Naim is going in a purpose built cupboard in another room. I need to use a flat flexible speaker cable in a length of about 8.5 metres. To be put in situ when the carpets are laid.And, yes, I...

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but my dealer friend suggested that the pair of Linn Kans I have would benefit from being internally rewired with NACA5 if used in a Naim system. I had never really thought about this, but wondered if...

Hi Y'all,I'm searching for a new system support.I'm tired of my old Sound-Factory "Tripod" rack.The reason is: - you can't hide the wires. - the (2)shelves are too far apart - the bottom shelf is too low - it looks kinda dull. (black with rough black...

My understanding (and I stand to be corrected) is that unnecessary circuitary in preamps and other hifi equiptment are best to be avoided or they cause distortion. (This was an explanation I received for no bass and treble controls).The balance...

I put my toe back in the water and started with one of these:Monster PowerBar 1100A friend with a Naim system uses the HTS2000 with good results. I did the dem at his place a while back and for those of us without dedicated mains, this gives an...

How about this one. Not to mention the seller overestimated the retail price by $1000. Do you think this is the reason the price is so high. I bought a new style 250 for less than this. 180Wow!!!judd

Hello Folks,I'm still on the look out for Naim pre and power amps. I haven't had the time to listen to a set as yet. However, in you opinion, which sounds better.Kam.

One of the evergreen topics in this forum is how long the A5 should be. Unfortunately, Naim Audio is extremely tolerant in this respect stating that anything goes between 5m and 20m.I happen to own two 5m sets so my cables can be used as 2x5m or in...

I'd be grateful for any constructive advice anyone might be able to give me on speakers. I'm testing speakers at the moment and am beginning to find the process painful rather than enjoyable.System is 112/150, CD5, Flatcap2, Stageline, Rega p25,...

Has anyone seen or heard one yet? Are they available yet? How does it stack up against things like the CDX/XPS or the CDS-II/XPS?Just continuing my cd source research...TC '..'"Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a Muffin..."

Anybody has any idea whether the Roksan Tabriz is directly replaceable by the aro on a Xerxes turntable? Thanks.david

I purchased the above mentioned goods brand new back in 1998, and have subsequently ignored all new developments in Naim kit. The dealer who I purchased it all from (Studio 99) has sadly closed and before I go to a new dealer (or second hand???) I...
