Hello,i have a 6-7 year old NAC52 (revision NA523/1, (serial number 105xxx). I read on the forum that a front panel update would bring my NAC52 to current specification. Has anybode done thisupdate ? Sound improvement ? Price ? Thanks for your input.

I´ve got a Naim amplifier and Why should I use Naca5?It is absolutely necessary or can I use another speaker cable?I mean technical reasons not emotional!Like damage your amplifier!

If you intend to run a stageline with a hicap, how do you get the signal from the hicap into your pre-amp. do you need a special cable (like 4pin to 5pin)? Does this badboy come with the stageline?Judd

Hi all, Living in Australia is now a problem as there is no-longer a dealer in Sydney that sells Linn & Naim products. I was looking to upgrade my current Arm form Rega RB-300 to Naim ARO or Linn EKOS. ( I can't get a demo of a ARO on a Linn anywhere in 500 miles of Sydney.) The Rega RB-300 was an upgrade from an old Itok 1n 1994. My dealer at the time first told me the rega was not a good match with the linn but later call me to say they got it working on the linn and the sound had an...
