Hi,Just an idle lunchtime question. How many people have old bits of kit that they have either not traded in when upgrading or are keeping 'just in case' (eg possible second system.) The flip side of this is obviously how many of you have sold / px'd...

Feel free to add – - I have to check every few days if the LP12 is leveled - I have to notice if the disc is fully centered on the axle of the cdp - I have to count the number of rubber rings on the pack - I have to check the screw-nuts of the...

The 110 has 4 wire wound resistors on each circuit board which have been damaged by a short.. Does anyone know the values and rating of them? If you do can you describe them from L to R looking towards the back of the amp. Many thanks.

Hi,I'm a bit confused wheter I shall take off the grills. My dealer recommend me not to do so and told me that the speakers are made to work with them. What do you all think or what experience do you have. Perhaps it depends on the speakers? Of course...

I have and Old Naim NAC12, SNAPS and NAP60 second system. The SNAPS and NAP160 have not been re-capped in years (if ever). I notice the sound is somewhat fatiguing compared to my 72/135 system. Will Re-Capping ameliorate this problem and what other...

I just looked at the suggested retail prices for a Nait 5 on the NANA site, and I swear the price has gone down $150 to $1450. Is this right? If soits nice to see. Anyone guess at why it has dropped, and is it an across the board cut?-dan
