The difference between the old and new Lingo is "Night and Day" according to Simon Pope of Hi Fi World.SMT and resultant short signal paths accounting for the differences it seems.Anybody else had the privilege of hearing the new Lingo? ................

I've been running with a Cambridge D500 CD player in my office for about six months, going through a 32.5/SNAPS2(dual mode)/110/RoydMerlin. I recently purchased a used Cambridge CD6, just to see how it would compare to the D500. I figured I would pick...

Well, after an extended A/B demo, I traded in my 92/90 for a 112/150 today, and I it was a great move.At first I thought the new stuff really excelled at classical but was a sidestep on the rest of my music, but that was incorrect. What I was hearing...

Can anyone inform me of any major changes which have been made to the design etc of the 82 since it was introduced in 1992?Terry
EdwinPosted: 11 June 2002Last Updated: 12 June 2002
I have heard many conflicting opinions on this topic. Some say any 52 is better than the 82. Others say the current 82 is better than an early (say '92) 52. What's the truth?!

Has anyone ever used a Stageline with the NAC52? I have a Stageline with K boards and have been thinking of trying it with my kit. I was wondering if anyone else has tried it or has an opinion.Tony

Hi folks.Due to working in Glasgow for a few days, I arranged (at short notice) to pop round and hear the Beelzebub's system (tho' I believe he goes by name of James McP on here).The system is based around 52/SC, with 135s, CDS-II/XPS and an LP12 with...

NAIM AV2/NAP150/NAPV175 "Next month we test out the latest pre and power amps from Naim - only this time they are primed for multichannel as well as stereo. Read our review in the August issue."Well at least (soon) you can say you've read something...
SprogglePosted: 09 June 2002Last Updated: 11 June 2002
In the past year many have expressed an opinion on which of the two amps is better but nobody, as far as I can see, has actually described a direct comparison. Anyone care to? [I'm asking out of idle curiosity, since I need to upgrade several other components before my 90]. --Sproggle

In occurs to me that in Naim's current product line-up, the CDX is the longest serving CD player. That is testimony to it..... but any clues as to when it will be replaced/upgraded in Naim's new style/logo?? A response from Salisbury would be...

A quick (hopefully) question for all you other xx-2 owners out there.I've just had an xx-2 fitted to my lp12/ekos/lingo. Great cartridge, but, I am getting a lot more surface noise from the xx-2 than I was of my old 17d2. Most records now all seem to...
