I have a set of K boards at the moment, and generally like them. However, suppose I want to increasing the loading to 2000 ohms, how would I go about doing this? Is this simply a matter of changing out a resister? Which one? And, to what value? 2000...

Has anyone had problems with their 82 volume control after reducing its speed using the internal adjustment screw? Mine will intermittently refuse to budge using the remote control, and once this happens I can only cure it (temporarily) by GETTING OUT...

Just discovered this forum and i think it's gaffer! I have just bought a CD5 ( which has replaced an elderly Arcam transport/black box combo), to partner my Nait 2/Kan 2/LP12 system. I am using my dealers' well run in CD5 until mine is delivered, and...

Again and again I hear the sentence - it's impossible that you can hear a difference between "x" and "y" because its against the known facts by science.You say that you can hear differences between AC cables - and the engineers are claiming that you...

The illuminated Naim Audio logo on my Nait 2 is driving me nuts. Sometimes it's bright,sometimes it's dim and sometimes it goes off altogether. Is there a bulb in there? I've had a quick sneck, but I can't see one.

The tiny stylus/cantilever on my DV17D2 collects an atrocious amount of crud, especially from poorly cleaned records. I've removed most of it with the brush supplied but there is still a bit that I can't seem to get rid of. I'm paranoid about damaging...

OK, most filters/surge suppressors seem to have a negative effect on Naim. I'm curious about this:http://www.psaudio.com/products/standardultimateoutlet.aspwhich is the Ultimate Outlet from PS Audio. It is a "balun" transformer which is claimed to...

For you technical types out there:When somebody refers to "film" type capacitors, is he talking about metalized film, polypropylene, or polystyrene capacitors. Or, is there no way to tell?ThanksJudd
