Hi-Fi Corner

I have just moved house, and I am thinking of changing my speakers. I currently use Naim IBLs on the end of a 102 pre Hi-cap'd and a Nap 250.It's quite a smallish room and I could do with the floorspace the IBL's occupy. So I would like suggestions...

I noticed John Treggett's thread on the role distributors play in the int. market. On a related subject why is it that there is a significant difference in the second hand price of a Naim 250 between US and UK? In US 6-10 year old models are...

I have a pair of Saras in black which I no longer use. They are boxed with original stands and cable. Feel free to make me an offer, or I would swap for something interesting. Just nobody offer me a pair of bloody Keosas! A part-ex towards a Kairn or...

No doubt most of you will have heard about Linns new Komri loudspeaker, and I'm sure it's very good too, if early reviews are to be believed. But how can they justify 25k? Errr they can't, because they don't feel they have to! Linns customer base has...

This years forum sessions will be at 3.30pm on each day. All one has to do is go to the Naim info desk on the mezzanine and tell the nice lady that you're a forum contributor and you'd like a ticket. In the interest of fairness I'd like to think that...

In an effort to jump on the bandwagon, I am interested to hear peoples views on Linns entry level floorstander, The Keosa. I found them hideous, with a thickness in the bass I haven't had the misfortune to encounter since 1970s Wharfedales. Yes I know...

I have recently taken my Linn to Rayleigh Hi Fi (Rayleigh branch) for a service. Can anyone tell me what they are like for this.Unfortunately I did not ask on here before taking the plunge.ThanksMark

About a year ago I entered a great stereo forum in Israel. This forum, shares members with several different views about stereo equipment. Few engineers there are sure that there are no benefits with interconnects, speakers’ cables and the...

Interested in view on what level you all feel constitutes the beginning of the so called 'high end'. I suspect that for many people in the street a CD5/Nait/Intro system would be considered a very serious hi-fi indeed but I doubt anyone here would...

Hi,Whilst meandering through the forum, I happened to check my profile details and had a look at my posts. Strangely, I found a post credited to me which I have never seen before and certainly never written. (The NME one).Can anyone shed any light on...

I run a separate spur from the consumer unit (fuse box) 3*5sqmm 14m long.I asked my dealer and here the forum whether 3*10sqmm improves the performance of my hi-fi system. Nobody could let me know. Thus I let insert the new 3*10sqmm cable the day...

Hello, this is my first post, so please take it easy. I'm trying to figure out if some of the dissatisfaction I am having with certain records has to do with my system (music hall 2.1/nait I/tukans) or the quality of the vinyl. While most of the time...

I have just had to dismantle my system to accomodate decoration and moved my cd 3.50 pretty carefully from my stand and am now paranoid that I have damaged it. Can you easily obtain replacement screws as I have not managed to find it yet.I have...

when playing vinyl, i often "hear" a very faint beginning of the track (2 seconds or so) before it actually starts, as if there is a part of the stylus tracking "ahead". i am sure you understand what i mean??whats the explanation for this ...
