Sorry for the repetition guys and gals--i got alittle overwhelmed scanning the details, but whatspeakers in range of US $1500 to $2500 would you recommend for for CD5/Flatcap2/Nait5. Smallish12 X 13 feet room, can get bright easily. Wouldlike...

Here is a new topic from a member who publishes with his real name ...Arye(Who changed Arie to Arye and found out that he has to spell his name Arieh ... ) .

I intend to shortly upgrade to NAC102/NAP180 replacing my current Nait3 (the rest: LinnLP12 Lingo-Itock-K9, NaitCD5 - powered by Flatcap,and Rega Elas). Therefore any views on keeping or replacing my Elas? If so any others I should audition?Any...

What would be a better buy:A secondhand (about 2.5 years old) NAC102/NAP180 or a new NAC112/NAP150.Any opinions?Also if i bought second hand when would I need to service the NAC102/Nap180?Thanks

Looking to step up from a pr. of Credos, driven by 140/HC/72. I'd like to purchase the speakers b4 upgrading the electronics. Room size is 25' x 25' w/15' vaulted cielings. Probably cannot listen to either b4 making purchase decision, has anybody...

I was searching through loot the other day and saw a pair of Active Isobariks with Naim Naxo 3-6. Nothing unusual about that you understand but the driving amps were QUAD 303s with a 33 pre!!!!! A nasty little 303 can just about excrete 20 dodgy watts...

Current system is Xerxes/Artemiz Hicap/32.5/250 CD3 SBL. I've been very happy with this since getting it setup in 1991 or thereabouts. Recently I've been buying mostly CDs and getting fed up with the poorer performance I get from CD as opposed to...

As a Naim believer, I was listening a wide range of many so called high end electronics around, like Levinson, Krell, Sonic Frontiers, Bryston, Jeff Rowland etc. Those american house heaters was never impressed me with almost nothing, but few weeks...

Dear All,One of the things i find most interesting on this site, i know it is a NAIM enthusiasts environment, is how quickly the sensibilities of the audience are raised when somebody challenges theyre point of view.I have over the last several years...

Anyone used this site before?http://www.ex-dem.co.uk/Seems like a central searchable site for dealers ex dem and secondhand stock in the UK.I was looking for an 82, found a 52/supercap... watch this spaceBruce

Just had an XX2 fitted and in home setup (to replace the XX1) courtesy of Derek at New Audio Frontiers. Well chuffed with it, I had almost written off Vinyl after the CDS2 head upgrade. The LP12 now has the edge over the CDS2.Derek also brought the...

Hi All!Just read about a new Linn MM cartridge called ADIKT - filling the K 18 Gap; has anyone further information?Furthermore, are k 18 replacement styli still available somewhere?Just in case...Happy MondayGuido

Anyone out there got their speakers either side of a fireplace?This is a big no-no in the purists book I know but out of necessity my SBLs have been either side of the fireplace in my lounge for quite some time now. Some things are just unavoidable...

I'll probably get banned for trying to start another support equipment thread, but I do need your advice anyway:The only decent support I have is a (1990) Mana wall shelf on which sits my LP12. 102/180/NAT01/Linn Ikemi are on an old Goldring table,...

Finally got around to having the phono sockets replaced with BNC's (as that's what I have on the end of the Ittok arm lead); and whey.....hey.Remarkable improvement in sound quality. All the usual things. As those nice people at Linn used to say:...

Would the lucky new owner of Griffin's £6950 NAP500 and £4500 NBLs please own up. You didnt visit the old girl did you Marco?

I went to my Naim dealer looking for a reasonably priced cable 'upgrade'. I have a Micromega Stage 6 connected to a Nait 5 via phono to din Nordost Solar Wind cable. In the course of the conversation, which included the discusssion of the upgrade to...

I was thinking about Atma-Sphere

Borrowed a 250 for the weekend from a local dealer with a view to replacing my existing 180 in CDI/102/HICAP/NAPSC/SBL.Initial impressions are favourable with more detail and a better balance between bass and treble ie more bass and a bit less treble...

Who wants one?Show dates 22nd-24th FebLaterDoug

ever since i sorted out the problem with a tempremental 250 almost exactly 1 month ago, my active system has been sounding shockingly good -- in fact its been getting better and better each day. this is not just my view, my daughter -- my nephew -- my...

There were TWO new things on show from Naim:A new speaker - not sure of the name but it looks like a small NBL. A sort of upgrade / replacement of the Credo - a figure of around 2000 pounds was mentioned. This was on the end of a CDS11, 52, 135...
