Hi-Fi Corner

I currently use SBL's in a room 12ftx10ft and fire them across the room... in this room there is a triangular fireplace in the corner hence across. I feel I sit too close. They are correctly setup and are on cross head screws into the floor. I would...

The current Stereophile contains their annual listing of 700 recommended components. There are many on this forum that do not hold this magazine in particularly high regard; however, there is no disputing its influence on the high-end hi-fi community...

Stuck in the office this Easter Monday trying to get a report done. So I am missing out on listening to my newly upgraded system which marginally annoying. Initial impact is pretty good.Have got HiCap and NAPSC on my 102 which has certainly made a...

New 52 in place since Thursday so I am as happy as the proverbial pig in sh*t. Two questions for 52 users out there.1. I am considering powering my Stageline of the 52’s socket 2. Do I use a standard black Sniac or is it the lavender. Can I...

A few days ago I rearranged by system such that my Lp12 was positioned in front of a large bay window. Yesterday was quite sunny, and I suspect the sun has warped a new record I had on the platter (which had been left there all day). On sight, the...

Hi all,I recently noticed that my 250 is producing a quiet snore. It's hardly audible, and I have to ask people in the room to shut up in order to be able to hear it, but I'd still like to know what it is. It's a wee noise from the amp itself, not...

I got a new puck for the CDSii - it made quite a difference to the sound - bass notes are firmer, disks that were skipping are skipping lessDefinitely worth the effort to get one. I suggest that if your CDSii is older than a year that you consider...

I hope to be getting a Linn Classik for our Bedroom and would prefer used/demo. Any major sonic differences between these iterations of Classiks. Thanks in Advance.Jay

Hi folks,Today I talked to a fellow audio/music nut on the phone,and he had an interesting story of a guy who recently modified his Naim CDX.The modification included adding a 'Trichord' clock in the CDX.The owner of the CDX said:"Before the mod I...

Just a notice for all of you planning on buying an LP12 on the cheap (before eventually upgrading to an Armegeddon or Lingo).*****************************************************The Basik and Valhalla Power Supplies are now...

I've recently had a move around and changed the position of my SBL's to fire along the room rather than accross the room (20ft * 14ft room)Now, when firing accross the room I had them 2-3 inches from the wall approx 8-9 ft appart, and bass was...

You are the manager of a mid to high end hi-fi manufacturing company, for example, Naim. What will the company's product portfolio look like in five years time ? and how will you get there (timing of phasing in and out of specific lines) ?There are at...

Hi All,I've just purchased a Prefix from 1996 and it comes with a grey chord to attach to the power supply. I assume that this is the same as a Snaic that normally comes with a Hicap? If this is the case, is it worth rewiring with a black snaic (if...

I have looked at the spec for the 82 for the first time and note that all six inputs have separate listen and record facilities, enabling one source to be monitored while another is being recorded. Since most of us probably long ago gave up on tape,...

Room is roughly 20' x 12'. I have the speakers in the middle of the long wall firing across the shorter distance. Anybody compared the long wall to the short wall?

Does anyone use a Prefix on a turntable other than an LP12? I am using the Naim 'E' phono boards for my Roksan Xerxes/Artemiz/Shiraz. Is it possible to use a Prefix with this setup? What improvements could I expect switching to a Prefix?

Wow... thanks to the individual that first mentioned checking the Fraim's nuts/spikes three weeks after initial install! What a shocker! My installation was months past due for this check. Since I had to do some furniture re-arranging tonight which...
