Anyone know how much a boxed 250 weighs? Mine is going to live in Korea.The weight of a 500 is in the power amp manual, but curiously there is no information about the weight of the other amps.

I have a Hi Cap, 32.5 pre amp, 250 power amp just like to check which connection I should use. Looking from the front of the HiCap on the left has the 5 pin snaic pin 4, which should the 250 connect to pin 3 next to snaic or pin 2

Meadowlark has a new speaker in the cards that evokes memories of the much lamented Rega ElaI/II; they even have fancy bottom brakcets for the spikes. Has anyone tried Meadowlark TLs avec Naim? They certainly look the biz. Much nicer than these idiot ...

Hi all, I've enjoyed my brief time on the forum. I've picked up a few good ideas here and had some of my previous thoughts (prejudices?) confirmed...Everyone here probably owns (or want to own) kit that is better than 99% of the population (ok "87% of...

On a recent thread, I asked if anyone was aware of an archive of Naim Newsletter PDFs. Jim Cash pointed me at an additional one (Winter 2000 - gracias btw). My question is - are there any others out there that people could either point me to or email...
