Ok, I know this question comes over and over again, but searching the forum didn't really give me the answer. Is boardpulling worth it in the case of a NAC82? Anyone on the forum who actually did this? What kind of improvement can I expect?Can I just...

I am looking to replace my existing amp (Musical Fidelity X-A2) and I am considering Naim gear( and MF's A3CR Pre/Power Combo).Three questions though:1) What would be a better entry into Naim - Nait 5 with Flatcap 2 or Naim NAC112 and NAP150?2) Anyone...

Can anyone offer any advice about which Naim amplifiers cannot drive SBLs? I suspect that Nait cannot do it well but does anyone use a Nait with SBL? If so how well does it work?

Hi folks.Tomorrow I borrow a Naim silver-disc spinner for a few days to see how I like it in the context of my system. I expect and demand to be blown away (well, at that price it's a requirement!) but the key thing here is persuading the lady in my...

Does anyone know Kathryn from Sounds Perfection (pictured in adverts with various outfits next to hi-fi equipment in HiFi+ and HiFi World)?Wow she's utterly gorgeous ( http://www.soundsperfection.co.uk ) but I'm really sceptical about the claims that...

Does anyone have any experience of Creek amps? I'm thinking along the lines of a comparison with the Naim sound for a friend. I know they used to use DINS at one point.

In the last week, I have noticed that when the drawer is closed, it is no longer aligned to the rest of the front panel, and is recessed by three or four millimeters. The sound quality is unaffected by this, but I am still wondering if something is...

Just replaced a Hi-Cap with a Supercap to power the Snaxo.I guess we all know about the efficacy of P.S.U's with Naim kit; but this truly is a blinder.Everything in spades: Space, detail, insight, rhythmic drive, frequency extension.If you can afford...

Just a thought, as I took my speakers (Rocksolids) apart to put some extra damping inside and just 'have a look around'. It seems as if it may be possible to replace the internal wiring fairly easily. I am not interested in new speakers as I have zero...

Other than more power with the 112/150, whatdifferences sonically has one noticed between these(at moderate listening levels)? Source is CD5/flatcap2 or if you have experiencewith other sources, that is fine too.

I am moving house shortly so have just taken my Naim system off it's Partington black metal, glass shelved rack and sat it on an old thin wooden table. What a difference I've lost some harshness and it sounds more like the real thing. I have a...

I have the utmost respect for Naim as a company, its products and its people, so what follows is not a critisism but an observation from a personal perspective.I think this is the year that Naim left me behind. At Bristol I noticed the signs of a very...
