Not long ago, my daughter came back home to stay and brought with her a chap of the hairy 4 legged variety.Point is, if he barks in the room containing 72/hi-cap/180/Target 5 tier stand, there ensues an almighty resonance/ringing from the stack.As I...
Further to my earlier question, would buying a 135 solve my problem. " Better Bass, Meridian 205 mono blocs". Ray.
Would anyone in the know care to comment about the relative merits of the Quadraspire Q4 and Q4 reference racks ?I am consider the Ref for Naim amps and the Q4 for the rest (CD/ DAC / CDRW / Cass / Tuner )A set of Fraims for my 11 boxes would be a tad...
Hello everyone, I'm after some expert advice as to what to upgrade first, I don't have too much cash though. I have a CD3.5 with flatcap, Nait3 and B&W CD1SE's. I have a superb Kimber interconnect, Yello power cables and a quadraspire rack. Is the flatcap best on the CD player or maybe the Nait? What's the best way to go about changing to pre and power amplification and what kit would I need?
Tony/Joe:I just read through Joe's original thread on FEP's again. That has to be one of most enjoyable posts I've seen on the web.As reigning high priests of all things Flat it seems to me that you (Tony and Joe) should have an award ceremony. This...
I am considering these for my Bedroom as they are easily wall moutable. Any experience with them? How do they compare to Katans. I am looking to build a very MODEST system consisting of integrated amp plus speakers. My source would be a VCR/DVD Combo...
I have Naim 250,32.5,Hicap,Linn Saras,Linn LP12 Valhalla,Ittock,Troika. I need a Cd Player up to a budget of £1000 any suggestions
Trawling through uk.rec.audio I came across this for all you LP12 fans:-http://www.valder.fsworld.co.uk/linn/Brings tears to your eyes! Love that old SME arm, and the V15 was the dog's dangler around the time I was still drooling over my Pioneer...
Hi, I use a pair of Meridian 205 mono blocks with my DMS Isobariks, i'm very happy with the overall sound but i find the bass hasn't got the impact that it should have, i used a 405mk2 power amp for a short while before the Meridian's and the bass...
Regrettably not Naim!I had gone to the show to listen to some AV and to hear the new SBL's (!) and preamp.The naim AV2 system was the best of the AV bunch especially when I heard that Naim was going to release a DVD player in the next year or so...
Dear Forum,I recently bought a second hand 92R/90/Flatcap. Last week I added an essentially new CD5 (dealer demo). In the course of experimenting with the FC on the cd5 vs the 92 and asking questions, and reading past forum threads, I've noticed that...
During my trip to Edinburgh I obviously got the chance to hear Top Cat's system...When the neighbours had gone out, and we could turn the wick up a bit, it blew me away.It plays tunes, man!As you may well be aware, TC no longer uses Mana under his...

I recently purchased a new Rega P3 and had the standard "super-bias" cartridge installed but being "non shielded" and the fact that I have little choice but to place the P3 on top of my SoundStyle rack I get a major hum at even very low volume...
I have a Sony 208 ES cd player with a Burr-Brown chip upgrade. I'm thinking of upgrading it to a Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with Mullard E88CC tubes. Is this much of an upgrade or more of a lateral move? Thanks in advance.
Hi !Did anyone try one end of SNAIC-5 convert to RCA and on other end leave DIN, because to try non Naim CD player? Is this make any sense? Please don't tell me for Chord or Nordost, I know all about it and I am interesting specifically in this case....
Reading about the SL2 makes me realise that all it really needs is a decent name.To stop the poor Salisbury chaps calling it something daft (like Allae) I think we should kindly offer to run a competition on the forum to choose a name. They can give a...
Anyone out there using Credos as the fronts in a home cinema system? What're you using for a centre speaker?The AV amp isn't bought yet but will probably be either an Arcam AVR100, Marantz 5200 or I may push the boat out as far as a Denon ...
Did someone at Naim stay at the Burj Al Arab and think up the SL2 design a few days later?? (honest question BTW) It would be interesting to know how the kit is designed the way it is apart from the obvious performance angle.The evidence:Steve
Just returned from bristol and its all been put into context.Now I know a lot of you folks like to get all technical and compare things and rubbish things etc etc, but if anyone that visited the naim room today wants to a pipe up and say it sounded...
Showgoers, any comments on the center speaker performance ? Price ?Thanks
A quick question.Does anyone know for sure where I can buy antistatic innersleeves in London (UK). Preferrably within zone 1.Need to make a quick trip into town to buy a load of sleeves. LP12/Lingo coming tomorrow AndrewAndrew RandleCurrently in the...
break from 552/SL2, etc...i notice that most radio announcers voices have a rather "chesty" resonance about them. what causes that. i am using a NAT02, but i have heard this on all good tuners i have listened to, and not necessarily in my system...
My systems stopped working, tracked it down to the lead between my 102 pre and the Hi-cap.I remeber reading somewhere that the lead had been changed from a grey to a NEW funky balck style SNAIC. Any comments, and how much will naim charge me for this....
