Hi to all !Yes, it's me again.I have Naca5 terminated with some Monitor bananas, but would like to change to Naim (2 in 1) bananas. One thing is not clear to me...How do you guys connect Naim bananas in amplifier, because cable can be connectedt to it...

One of our most charming members has just bought a pair of Shahinian Obelisks (so they're not warmed up, but at least it was a level playing field). As a result, it seemed worthwhile to try out the Dynavector HX 1.2 against the 135s which presently...

I own the following kit: Naim 180,82 powered by a Hicap. Cable is Nac5 for the speakers which are modified Epos es11s (Ii replaced with es12 front baffle & integrated drivers also replaced the capacitors). Front end consists of a Teac T1 trans & the Cambridge dac magic 2i. For interconnects I am using the ones suppled by Naim of which two are black snaics, other interconnects are the audioquest quartz between dac & pre & chord cobra between trans & pre. Oh..yes almost forgot... I use the...

Hi all !My dealer gave me to listen at home CD5/Nait5 and I was maybe to buy CD5. But here are some problems with CD5. It was played about 50 hours continually, but the sound is dry, bright and without life. Instruments are transparent, but not well...

Hi,I've just read an article in stereophile, thatone or two major labels (universal, sony) are planning to switch from the cd format only to a hybrid format cd/sacd very soon.Seems to me that they want to bury cd format within foreseeable future. Or...

Here's a topic we've covered a million and one times, but I still can't find an answer.My Dynavector DV17d2 is fitted in a RB300 arm and when playing a record the stylus is deflected towards the outside of the record, even with the anti-skate set to...

hello,i am somewhat witless. a few days ago i demoed the allaes. i do own a pair of sbls and am pretty happy the way they sound. however, for reasons of interior decor i wanted to change speakers. sbls are not available in maple, at least not s/h. i...

With the latest rumour about hybrid SACD, Im having second thoughts about buying a new CD5 to go along with my Nait 5. Am I being silly?A new CD5 goes for $2250 and a used 3.5 for about$1000. For the money for the CD5, I could purchasethe 3.5 and a...

I got two 250s. They are 17-20-year old, the one I use is No. 4850 (ruined but fully re-built by Naim Audio) and the second one is No. 7043, no need yet to repaire. Of course their sounds are very different so they can’t be used in couple (one...

A few months ago I replaced my ELAs with a pair of briks. After upgrading to a 250, the 110 just didn't cut it, they sound pretty good.However they came without the front dust covers. The top dust covers are there. Previously I read in this forum that...

Since my recent re-capping of my 42/140 (formerly 110) I have started playing records again. I have an LP 12 with the Basik LVX arm and am currenly using the Linn cartridge that came with it. Unfortunately, it too is showing its age.Any...

I dont want the comedy answer that I will no doubt get.I have Ruark Epilouges, a little standmount speaker that was the best I could afford at the time, and I am yet to come across somthing that I can afford to beat them.They are rear ported, and I am...

Does anyone know if this baby is just 3 times the power stage of a Nait or does it 'ave a bit more welly? I was wondering if this may be a neater way of making a surround system from scratch(especially now that you need 6 channels of amplification...

I saw this on Ebaygrey burndyI've managed to accumulate 5 leftover grey Burndy's in upgrades over the years (2-52/2-CDS2/1-CDS1). I figured they had no value, but I couldn't see throwing them out.There are 8 bids on this Burndy on Ebay. What use can...

Anyone tried these things?Do they work with Naim and Turntables?The tech spec certainly looks impressive.JohnShore

Vinyl.Why is it 'vye nul' and not 'vin ile'?Tony

Which would give best bang for the buck: new Flatcap2 suppling both Nait and Stageline or used Hicap on the Stageline? TT is Spacedeck(with heavy platter upgrade)/Spacearm/Dyn 10x4. No plans to change anything else except cartridge.John "

Moving apartments may mean that I have to sell the Credo's and replace them with some quality standmounters:P9/CDX/72/140/HiSpeakers must be able to work close to wall. Any thoughts on the following:Acoustic energy AE1'sDynaudio 1.3Neat PetiteProac...

Hi guys!After hearing a CDX+Nait2 system, I have decided that the Linn Classik is a too big step back after all. So, I am going to buy me a CDX + Nait3R. Now I only need some speakers. Could you please help me ou? The choices have been narrowed to:-...

I wonder if I could trouble the erstwhile members of this forum for some advice.I am looking to upgrade from a 92/90 to a 72/140 and wondered if the phono boards for the 72 are better quality than those for the 92. I am only running MM boards so...
