Can anyone recommend a suitable product for Speaker cabinets and the feeding of the wood.My Kan's are Teak and it's about time they saw some form of Oil. Infact my LP12 needs the same type of TLC as well.Dave.

I've been doing some CDR copying of some vinyl I have. The vinyl is in very good nick, and sounds great. Why is it, then, that my el-cheapo CD player manages to convey almost all of the analogue sound that I hear when listening to the TT? I mean, it's...

Can anybody help me?Is there anything to be gained sonically by swapping a nait5 (to be used as a preamp only) for a nac112?Thanks

Dear Sirs,I have a CD5/Nait5. Yes i have heard them with a Flatcap2 connected and must say at one point I actually got a fright when on a particular track the singer's voice came in - sounded like the vocalist was standing next to me. wow. (and she...

I have a Hicap/32.5/250. I'd like to get a Headline headphone amp - can I take power from the existing Hicap, or do I need to purchase an additional PSU?Tim

I remember the argues about the "new" Naim when Naim came with the new "5" seria.Do you remember how many members claimed that here is the end of the "old" line for the "new" one ?Members gussed that the 102 is dead and so on the other classical...

I am being offered a CDX / XPS from a seller I have bought before. CDX is 3.5 years and XPX 3 years old. What the view on a price thats fair to both parties.Could the CDX need serviced soon?

I keep hearing these mentioned, I am due to be moving out to pastures new soon, and my Dynaudio Audience 40's although excellent are likely to be lost, I am not planning on buying anyhting until I try them in their new surroundings, but am drawing up...

Having recently bought a CDX, I now have a systema based on that with a Nait 3R and Royd Doublets and am wondering about my next steps.I have been thinking 102, NAPsc and either 180 or even 250 but am toying with the idea of an 82 instead of the 102....

One of my NAP135's has developed a distortion problem, It is only apparent on some recordings and in the high frequency area. But of course once you know it's there you listen for it and notice it quite often, and I'm sure it must be affecting the...

It seems that there is no interesting topics around. I must agree with Vuk that forum is dead, so I have some interesting question.Did anyone knows what was happened with Naim electrostatic loudspeaker program? I also want to mention this thing...

Hello, I have found "NAIM NAC A5 SPEAKER CABLE 2 X 3M BIWIRED" on an auction but it's 6 years old. Would cable of this age sound any worse than buying brand new Naim speaker cable?Thanks alot

Somebody is advertising a Nait 1 for £200. He's taking the piss surely.I've just sold mine for £90 Steve B

Can anyone give examples of the same old boring questions coming up over and over, the answers to which would easily be found using the search facility. I'm hoping this thread will give the definitive, straightforward, answer to them so we don't hear...

One of the premier shows in North America comes to town on March 22-24 this year. Three large hotels and hundreds of rooms full of gear. Of course Naim will be there in full force..

What the going rate for a pair of early 80s (binding post) well polished Kans in teak with apollo spiked stands (condition excellent except where theyve been sat on spikes)

Is the Rega R100 simply a re-badged Arcam 77 series?If so, does anyone remember which was better?

This day was a holiday Purim in Israel. It is a happy holiday - people are going with masks, and there is even a nice masks cheerful march in Hulon, a city nearby Tel Aviv.There was also a stereo exhibition in a big hotel in Tel-Aviv that took place...

Listening to the simpsons yesterday and today I notice when some one walks off the screen talking they walk to the right but the sound moves to the left!Now when I turn the balance fully to the left the sound goes fully to the left, should the balance...

After I got over the initial excitement of the new kit at Bristol show I cannot help but feel a little melancholy now. To see Naim developing products of this price magnitude, whilst i grin at the musical possibilities, makes me wonder which direction...

Hi allI recently upgraded to 135`s and now have £3500 to spend and have the opportunity to purchase a 52 + supercap which is only 3 months old. My question is didn`t they upgrade the Burndy cable (Is that the correct Name) when they upgraded to...

Should I let the floor spikes on my rack and floorstanding speakers actually go into my pine floorboards or should I keep them on top of some 1 pence pieces.Which will give me the best sound ?

Hi gang. This is my first post. Anywhere. Please excuse any inbuilt stupidity.What would be the correct phono board for my NAC102, using a Dynavector DV20X (low output) MC?Thanks. (I'm listed as a 'junior member' but I'm flippin' ancient...)

hi all, Gonna have a dem of the new boys on the block today I'll let you all know what I thought. All previous dealings with naim speakers have thus far been disapointing, sounding too forward & thin to the point of being harsh. this is not good for protracted listening periods! More than a touch of listeners fatigue I feel!! ( listened to intros credo.....liked the nbl's but toooooo much when you consider the amp requirements!) Ok..... I'm hoping the latest speaker offering from naim is the...
