Does any folks here know what is the power consumption of Naim's pre and power amps?I am talking about the unit for Ampere (Amp)......Thanks in advance.......King

Just curious if anyone has made the leap from a P3 to either a P25 or P9?If so....?????Also interested if you've done the LP12 to P9 thingtaredeye

There are a pair of what appear to be late Kan 1 on Ebay here that haven't attracted much attention.Given some of the bogus stuff that has raised ridiculous amounts recently these look plausible.IMHO, of course.Paul

I saw a new (at least to me) rack manufacturer naimed "Sonus Systems" http://www.sonus-systems.co.uk at a local shop.The Elite Series looks well done and solid, even the price seems O.K. Does anyone know how they sound compared to the usual suspects...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...Item&item=1354406690 The guy has set his first price at £1050 !!! must be superb for it to warrant the first bit at this price... Or he's made a mistake! Unfortunately I can't see him selling it somehow. John

HiI have been thinking about visiting your planet for some time now. The enthusiasm here has definetly got my interest. I have the opportunity to purchase a Nait3/ CD 3.5and was concerned with compatibility with my current speakers, Reference 3a...

Firstly I should comment that I have not done any listening tests so I appreciate that my comments below are not from first hand experience.Some of the commentators on this board seem to view this idea of "Source First" as almost the be all and end...

I decided to change my RS terminated NACA5 with the Naim Plugs. However I'm having problems with the soldering.I had an old 25 watt soldering iron - No Chance! So I bought a 40 Watt effort, still little success. I can actally get the solder to take...

Hi All, Possible to recommend me a few online sites that ship worldwide. Thinking of getting a nait 5 to incorporate into my cheapo audio system. doing a step by step upgrade....First the nait 5, second the CD5 and then the speakers...Pls advise...Thanks

I received a Headline and a new Hi-Cap to drive it a couple of weeks ago. I have been using the "cheat" headphone output on the Hi-Cap driving the NAC 82 before to drive my AKG K100:s.The most obvious difference is a change in the frequency balance....

The is a "Naim based monster amp" on eBay at the moment: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...Item&item=1354406690 "Naim NAP 10 circuit boards with Dual Mono, Monster Torodial transformers and Black Gate Capacitors ..." "On discovering who developed and made this amp will cause loads of interest.(Hi-fi guru!) Other items developed by this 'guru' will be for sale or auction soon" Any ideas? Cheers, Simon

Hi,I try to get naim system.I found "last" new system in my country (no dealers from 2000), which is nap180x2, nac72 and hicap. (with around $6000!!,but hard to see s/h naims) I used to try to get nait2/3, but separated system seems far better.Then,...

On ebay now:"Naim based amp"Looks a little frightening to me.

Believe it or not there's one of these vibrating cleaners currently on e-bay and its already got to 42 quid! Has the world gone mad?

I've taken the day off work tomorrow (Friday) to pop along to the local hi-fi shop for their delivery/installation of SL2 speakers.Beats working I suppose.Tony

I just bought one of these and it works!The crap if got off the cartridge was quite concerning!DS

I know there are several guys out there with the combination of AV32R and naim amps. I've just had an upgrade to V3.6 of the control software and now the naim remote control (ordinary not Flash) volume buttons are also driving the AV32R volume.I don't...

There are some of Naim's products that seem to be universally loved (Nait 2!). Is the 52 one of these? For example, I've read forum postings that one should upgrade from 102 to 102/SC to 52/SC i.e. the 82 is kinda pointless. Is there anybody out there...

Andrew the stuff I sent you was returned, presumably because it was too large.email me from your home account, (provided it is not AOL) and I will try again!

Dear All,I'm sure many can help me very easily on this one.What have people found to be the best way of making the rather stiff NACA5 bend neatly round fairly tight corners etc. I guess it might involve applying some heat to the cable?Please advise. B...

I suspect my bass boom, exacerbated by XPS'ing the CDS2 is due to a the stud partition wall running along one end of the listening room. When thumped with the palm of the hand or an ear is pushed against it, it rumbles/resonates at more or less the...

My latest HFN arrived today...'..one of the finest sounding surround decoders I've heard'And it's tested with the new centre speaker and naim wiggly amp boxes!Tony

Quick question for those on line. I'm stuck between getting a CDi or a P3. Anyone owned both and could give a longer term opinion.Cdi would obviously cost more but I have plenty of CDs. P3 cheaper but of course so are second hand records.Wondering if...

Help needed in setting up newly aquired flatcap to existing 92/90.3 My manuals only mention Hi Cap and I don't have a manual for the Flatcap. What's the correct way to cable up using snaic 4 and Snaic 5 interconnects. Is it just the same as for the...

Hi, Just a quick one ... All this talk of isobaricks & cans makes me think these are the older linn speakers right?? What about linn's new speakers?? Are any of these any good??????? Mad Boy Matt
