Hi-Fi Corner

I have looked at previous posting regarding this topic and am not sure what to do.I have sent my aging NAC42/NAP 110 in for long overdue repairs and service and just received a quote :NAP110 - 133 GBP for repair or 299 GBPfor repair and upgrade to a...

A friend wants to buy a hi-fi rather than a midi system but only has £450 to spend.I'm going to take him to Grahams to listen to some stuff. I will ask them to give us a demo of new and second hand but does anyone have any recommendations?He...

If I have just spent a large (to me) amount to listen to my fav stuff(Depeche,Skynyrd,oldfield,jarre..etc)does the following apply?? 500 ,552 ,dbl, just so in ten years you have enough money to listen to your own fav stuff in the way it was orignally...

Hi all:Just a quick post to say that I had the pleasure of meeting Mike Pranka (Dynavector and Exposure distributor for the U.S.) last Thursday (March 14th). He and a friend were on their way to the Austin Record Convention (Austin, TX) to drum up...

HiI have had my new system CDX 112 150 FC2 Allaes for a week now during which time it has been playing approx 12 hours a day which I would have thought would put it well on the way to being run in.We have a two seater settee 9 feet from the speakers...

An aquaintance has lent me his old Ariston RD80 with a view to selling it. Unfortunately it only plays at 45 and I don't have any singles. The belt just slips off when it is moved over to the 33 cog.Points to bear in mind:I don't know how old the deck...

My lounge awaits the builders and the nice black boxes are sitting patiently in piles on the bedroom floor. Silence is not golden I can assure you.I have seen some threads on this topic before but need some basic advice. All the kit goes into my...

Does anyone know if a cdx will play 3"cd's ?

Hi all,Gosh,it's been a while - hope all are well, especially any who remember me !Some may recall from a while back (if they have very good memories) that I was thinking of taking up guitar. Well I finally did, and am having fun learning on an...

No professional equipment can be re-built with the hope of succeeding but in the case of an “absolutely passive” item the temptation is all too great. Contrary to most electronics Fraim seems to show up a clear and rational designing idea...

Hi all could anyone confirm if my supercap should have come with a snaic interconnect or not. When i bought my hi-cap last year it came with the new black snaic.

Hi,Does anyone have any pics of the Nait 1?/LarsIt Kan be done!

Does anyone here owns a Tube CD Player with Naim?A freind recommended Jolida CD Player which runs a tube output stage. I heard it on other system and it was beautiful. Warm, big, and very very analogue.This could be my next step from my Marantz now.

Just recieved my supercap today and found something rattling around inside (A piece of red wire sheath)Anyhow that is not my problem. I havent yet recieved my 52 so i am currently running my 72/135s with the supercap but on reading the power supply...

This is hopefully one of the more straight forward questions for Naimists out there.I have an LP12/Ittock with the Basik supply and want to fit an Armageddon. Is it something I can do myself or does a dealer have to do it?If I can do it myself, what...

Dear all,I recently made the step to a balanced set-up by replacing the Nait5 by a NAC82 with single Hicap. Now I have a fantastic set-up consisting of CDX, NAC82 with Hicap and NAP180. The step from Nait5 (as a pre) to a NAC82 was huge. Especially...

I have just bought a mono radio. A nice piece of kit ... check it out.http://www.tivoliaudio.com/pm1grn.htmAQD

I have just ordered a Headline and Napsc to use with my CD5. Will it arrive with all the cabling I need to use it out of the box, or are there any extras I will need?I never remember to ask these things when I'm at the dealers.

I am moving my naim equipment away from between the speakers (too much "good vibrations" after the DBL upgrade).The tv (removed speakers), vcr and dvd is staying there. So I need a long (ca. 10-11meters) interconnect cable to get the tv-sound into my...

I am currently running a Musical fidelty Xcan2 with Hd 600 phones. How does the headline sound as a recent upgrade has left me with a hi-cap doing nothing.

I've recently made the 'leap of faith', buying a used pr. of Neat Vitos without an audition. (They were 1000 miles away & no local dealers here in Colorado). To put it simply, I love the Vitos! Leaving out my source components for now, (I don't know if I want to put more $$$ into digital or vinyl upgrades)which component would upgrade my sound more, 72 to 82 or 140 to 250? My original Naim dlr. several states away now says go for the 250, skipping the 180. But what about the 82 pre vs 72,...

So here’s my newbie two months of experience regarding two of the most hated of all newbie questions1) “,,,,,,,so, should I put my flatcap on my cd player or preamp...”standard forum answers:a) source first-put it on the CDP.....(and...

I'm this close to buying a pair of Allae's to replace my trusty Tablette 50's (which I find just a tad 'shouty' at times). does anyone have any good reason why I shouldn't?Please note that there is next to no chance of any further upgrades for a VERY...

Rather than just chat with Martin I thought this worthy of a topic.I've had this for three months (although for one of those I was without the CDP).With a CDS2 it brings about quite large improvements relative to the standard Base platform, which was...

Just a quicky, Anyone one out there have any experiences with the Tannoy dimension loudspeakers? I,m demoing tommorow & any info would be good! Ta Matt.
