I have a 32.5/90 - apparently lightly used - which I picked up a few years ago for $800CDN - a little over $525US. Pretty good value for money IMHO. the amp is 1987 or 88 vintage. Naits of all vintage seem to be very highly regarded on this forum but...
Yes, well I thought that might get some attention, 'cos I'm dying to know what the AV2 sounds/performs like, and was wondering if anybodys heard it yet. I know one or two have purchased it, but no real comments as yet on the forum.Would love to...
My friend is going to get himself a used cd3 but the shorting plug is missing.We contacted our dealer here and he is selling it at what we think is a ridiculous price.What is the practice in UK? Do the dealers have spares to give away or do you also...

These are rare birds second hand but whilst looking for s/h DV carts I stumbled upon one for sale in Loot if anyone's interested: HX1.2Alex
I currently use a hicap with my prefix. What is the magnitude of improvements brought about by the introduction of a supercap? In what areas are these improvements found - increased prat, tunes, rythmic abilities etc etc?? My guess is more of...
I am having difficulty resolving a system problem. My system is a CDS1/P9/52/Super/135's/SBLs and I believe it is an AC problem but am not sure. Initially I was having problems with my CDS1 and P9 being connected to my 52 at the same time. There was a...
Kit, anyone,Are you still as keen on the Isolda as you were? I'm tempted, to borrow some at least. You were right about 8TC - steely mid and boomy bass - I was confusing more sound for more music. Its been binned. The DNM's back. great VFM; can play...
I have trawled through the topic archive to establish whether there is a way of tapping into the supercap power reservoir.Unable to find a definitive yes/no on this subject.I am considering buying a headline amp and note that Naim suggest stand alone...
Upgraders-Having checked LOOT today I noticed 3 NAC-52's for sale!! Currently not able to take this route unfortnately but hope there will be availability with 552 shortly coming on stream.JoeH
I have a pair of 1984/5 Isos which had new mid and trebles by Linn about 8/10 years ago. The cone domes (dust covers are pushed in (but noone knows who did it 'cos they know I'd kill them!)). Sometimes there is no mid and upper detail, sometimes there...
Nostalgia feelings, do you remember when it wasn’t so obvious to post a message? Do you remember the many complains? Do you remember the anger of many of us when Naim went to the new system? Do you remember the many “lost” posts?Now,...
I have always presumed that the relative benefits of supports were due to their abilities to absorb/dissipate airborne energy from the speakers. As all my electronics are in a different room from the listening room which just has the IBLs in (with...
Hello I am using a stageline for phono amplification in my non-naim system. My stageline is a type "N" for MM.I'm using a dynavector 10x4MKII which outs a healthy 2.5mv The problem is that My integrated amp works more like a seperate power amp the...
Maybe this is more appropriate for the Music Room, but lately I have been running accross a lot of MFSL (Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs)/Gold CDs for sale. I bought one recently (Tommy by the Who) that sounds absolutely great. I mean, really, really...
I've heard the SBLs for the first time driven by 2 NAP500s and was smitten by them, and finally got hold of a pair a month ago frOm someone. I've got the whole gasket kit, except the gasket itself ! Should be arriving from the dealer one day ... Now...
Someone's comment about being haunted by the sound of a system he had heard long ago got me thinking--What are the systems and demo's that stand out as something really special in your memory?Here are some that stand out for me:1. My first demo of an...
Has anyone compare a FlatCap and FlatCap2? Is the FlatCap2 an improvement over FlatCap? Or it's just that FlatCap2 can power two components and that's all?Appreciate your point of view.

My wife has just e-mailed me details of a pair for £2950 at Creative Audio. The ad is quite funny. http://209.167.103.167/hotdeals.htm.Tony

I need to run some fairly long cables from my AV Processor (Non Naim) to a NAP 250 which will power my rear surround speakers.Now I know you purists will say that you should never feed a Naim Power from a non Naim Pre but a quick call to Naim's help...
Hi folks,I found yesterday a s/h Nac52 without supercap (I have got one already) for 2700 euros.What are the important things to verify before buying?(serial number, boxes, manuals, remote,general appearence...) I have been told, only the last Nac52s...
I have a NAC102 and a cd-5. When I use the a/v input and turn the volume up I get a buzz from the speakers even at low volume levels. If I disconnect the cd player the buzz goes away though turning it off makes no difference. I live in Belgium and...
