Hi-Fi Corner

I am the proud new father of a flatcapII for my cd5 and nait5. The dealer advised me to put it on the cd5 only, and the forum seems to have the same general opinion, so i did. But... the Flatcap has 2 rear 'power out' sockets - A & B. Socket A I have read is of 'better quality' - simple I thought. However, it appears that sockets A & B provide different currents and voltages? Which socket should i be using for connection for use with the cd5 only? Thanks for any help.

I've been lucky enough to pick up a pair of ex-dem pair of NBLs and had them rigged up for about two months now. They are being driven passively by my NAP500 and had the modification to bring the NXO up to current specification. After much playing...

(I know this has been asked before, but I'm having trouble finding cogent answers on the forum).I'm presently anticipating the arrival of a new Lp12 and am considering the following options, which are possible in the alternative, NOT at the same...

Is this a decent rack or is it in the category "better than a sideboard".I'm asking because I can buy one new for 180euro(100 GBP).Or should I save up for a far better and more expensive rack ?Regards,Rob.

Hi!Yesterday I went to a HiFi show. No Naim there, but it was clear that there were no contenders. I don't get why people spend huge amounts of money on Mark Levinson and the likes, when it doesn't come close to the Naim-sound...Anyway, I went there...

Please, can anyone send me a copy of CD5 review in stereophile. I think it is in april issue year 2001.I will be very thankfull.Ozrenoherold@dzs.hr

I'm stuck at home at the moment with a dose of glandular fever....bummer Hence I've spent a lot of time in bed watching movies on tape. The CDX is in the lounge and requires too much effort to keep changing the disc. This has led me to start...

It’s commonly known by now that Naim Audio doesn’t want to define the optimal length of A5 between amp and speaker. They say any length is good between 5-20m. I have two sets (paars) of 5m pieces that make a 10m-set if used in tandem.In...

My current system - Marantx CD63SE, Aura VA100II, Ruark Templars - is about 8 years old, and I'd like to think about upgrading it. With about £5,000 budget, and looking at Naim gear (again, for a CD only based system), I think I have two options...

When I switch on my 110 there is a fairly loud popping noise from both speakers. Disconnecting the pre makes no difference. Is this normal? Can I do anything about it?

Does anyone knows what Op Amp does Naim CD Players used?I'm trying to tweak my old CD player to move closer to Naim sound.I know I can never get a true Naim sound without a Naim CD Player, but this is just my weekend project..............Thanks in...

hi to all fraim owners,I'm curious what you think about the fraim. (Silly question I know, having spent so much money on itit must be great!) To be serious, I own a TargetRack, which is certainly not bad. My problem is that I have no shelf left....

Using my deck late one night when all was very quiet I noticed my LP12 making a low level whinning-groaning noise, after the start up groan. The sound varies in pitch and is regular in it's cycle. If you look at a spot on a record label the pitch...

Anyone has any experience with hissing on NAP500? I am running active 500 on SBL. The amps do not hiss when they are turned on. The hissing occurs on the left channel (Tweeter) after playing 1LP. No hiss on the right channel. The volume control has no...

Just wanted to start a post recalling my experiences and providing an opportunity for others to share experiences with dealers who either ripped you off gave you incorrect information or advice. So spill the beans it can be very theraputic!!My story...

I spent last night listening to records with a friend who came round.We got to talk about the music and then the equipment and he posed a question that got me thinking.Why do other Hi-Fi nuts not like Linn / Naim gear ?What about Meridian / Quad /...

Has anyone compared these? I have done the OL modification with great results. Expressimo is claiming their product is an upgrade from the OL. The benefits of OL counterweight were substantial for my RB900 so this statments grabs my interest.Freedback...

Hi guys,I visited a Naim dealer this afternoon. The same story where I got my CDX from.I took my Nait-2 along with me and hooked it up to a (beech) pair of Naim Intro II's.(Bas,if you're reading this...) imho, I'd like the looks of the Intro better if...

I look for more dynamics and attack. I hope for more air around, and nautralness in voices. However it is the attack and dynamics that I need.I have been told to upgrade the front end, and possibly add a power supply to my preamp.Then adding another...

Hi all i have recently upgraded from 72/140 hi-cap to 52/135`s supercap-B&W speakers. I still had some money left over and have purchased a pair of 16 month old Sbl`s in walnut for £999. I have heard the Sbl`s before and did like them but i thought for the price i may as well buy them and experiment!. My question is can anyone advise me on the setup procedure to get the best out of them before my woman says that she doesn`t like them. By the way i hope that the myth of the Sbl`s not...
