Hi-Fi Corner

Just curious what you thought of them and their strengths and weaknesses relative to higher-end Naim amps. HiFi+ seem to be very keen on them, and I'm just curious to find out if they live up to their hype...TC '..'"Girl, you thought he was a man, but...

I am going to fit an LCAudio XClock to my 7 year old CD3. Should I at the same time recap (1) the tants (2) the electrolytics ( in which case all of them(20+)or just the 10000u BHC smoothing caps). The BHC caps are ALC20 which are now obsolete. Does...

just dug this out of epay, it looks fantastic, but how does it sound? What was the idea behind the platter? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...Item&item=1351502832

Greetings,I'm stumped. I've been using Naim equipment since 1986, thoroughly enjoying the life and energy that it injects (or, more correctly, fails to remove) from music. There's always been one fly in the ointment, albeit smaller and smaller through...

Anyone out there remember the Manchester Hi Fi Society circa 1980. To jog a few memories the first meeting was held in a Cheadle Hulme pub after a letter in Hi Fi Answers and then went on to be held in a variety of upper rooms in Northern Working...

Im hoping to have my 110 serviced by naim soon I heard its cheaper than handing it to one local dealer AND avoids at least one journey in Courier hands and vans. Quote from Naim below: comments welcome re upping to 140 as to benefits or not. I am...

What do the forum experts think of adding a subwoofer to a Naim system? I'm currently running Vienna Acoustic Bachs from my FC/CD5/Hi/92R/90.3. I really love the midrabge and sweet highs from these speakers, but they are a little bass shy. What's...

Being the nerd that I am I like to visit other esteemed Forum members occasionally. I have recently visited two of its most esteemed: Jason H. and Dev B. First I must thank each of their wives for allowing the imposition of a nerd at such short...

I visited the Frankfurt High End show last week, on a hot, sunny day - perfect for staying inside a stuffy old hotel with hundreds of anoraks! I’m not exactly an expert – only got into serious hifi over two years ago – but compared...

Hi folks.Having a cellar clearout, found my LP12 baseboard - this was fitted when I got my LP12 (which was a mongrel, custom built from a variety of sources) - which came as a part of the Cirkus kit. Now that my LP12 is long gone, and given that if I...

Alright calling all MusicWorks users, how many of you actually connect the NAPSC to your MusicWorks blocks, rather than following conventional naim wisdom and relegating it to another outlet or even spur ?After sometime i have powered it from the...

Anyone know if the AV2 requires NACA5 (correct loading or whatever), or can any wire be used as i believe is the case with the 6-50 ?Reason i ask, is i'm considering the AV2 setup to replace my existing effort, but cable routing is a prime concern -...

Guys, I have had my 250 (upgraded from 180) for about 6 weeks now and although it clearly has more weight and control I seem to have lost some PR&T from my system. I am running a CDX/XPS into 82/SCAP (which I am upgrading to a 52 next week). I still have the 180 so thought I would try it this morning, just to see. Well to my mind there seems more PR&T, especially at low volume which is where I listen 90% of the time. Played the whole of Revolver and 'enjoyed' it more than I did yesterday...

I know its not exactly hi-fi, but for those of you who work with computers and enjoy the radio on, if you use the following you can get a Psion Wavefinder for £39. It attaches directly to your PC and you can encode straight to mp3 from...

Hi folks.Have: DNM 3B Start, Crimson 640D monoblocks.Want: to build on this*Anyone heard the DNM 3D series yet, or know the differences between the 3C Primus, Twin and Six preamps to be able to comment?I'm considering the upgrade as I'll get a full...

Hi Folks,My brother in law scored himself a bit of bargain last night: a NAC12S, NAP250 and homemade power supply for ca UK500, here in Perth, WA. Sounds very impressive, and that preamp is a cute looking box (narrower than a Hicap!). A couple of...

Hi folks,sorry, I also mentioned it as my last reply on the "My Kan has a pushed-in tweeter" thread, but I'm so happy that I wanna shout it out! My Kan's are brought back to life and they're here to stay!How ??Well, first I was pretty grumpy and...

Hello everyone...have a Nait5 and Naca5 cableon loan from dealer. Source is CD5/Flatcap2.When turning on the Nait5(after everything elseis turned on) I get some rather load poppingsounds from the speakers(tried a couple of different speakers). It is...

ChapsI just thought that I would let you know that I got the 135's yesterday and they were installed at 4.00pm.I was up listening to them at 8.00 this morning and I have to say, even with only 16 hours warm up time under their belt, I am impressed.I...

Sorry to keep on, but this information is like gold to me.Anyhoo, plenty more record buying this weekend and a disturbing pattern emerging with second hand vinyl.On the very outer edge its very crakly then it goes good then towards the very centre of...

Has anyone ever tried curing tonearm bounce with LP12's on a suspended wooden floor?I have a house where I would never ever trust a wall mounted rack. It also has wooden floors but it has a crawl space of a few feet. I wonder if I could use 3 or 4...

Hello everyone, does anyone have any information on the MT10 pre-amp and the Dreadnought 500 power amplifier, that use to be imported by Exposure electronics? They originate from the usa. Thanks, Ray.

I've finally got my hands on a Tom Evans Microgroove and am thrilled... almost.I have a distinct hum on the left channel, not a buzz which might be an earthing problem but a hum with a definate pitch (approximately a 'G' I'd say).The Microgroove is on...

Hi!I considered to upgrade the head-unit of my CDS1 to CDS2-status, so I asked my dealer for a home-demo of the CDS2. I wanted to know how big the difference is... At the moment I have my CDS1/CDPS/GreyBurndy and for a few days the dealers...
