The lifter on my RB300, on a Rega P3, doesn't even come close (actually abt 0.5mm away) to touching the arm at its highest point (ie when supposedly fully lifted). How can it be adjusted? There doesn't seem to be a way of doing it via a simple screw...

It's common knowledge that twisting the cables will reject RFI in signals and on speaker cables especially.Has anyone done that on Naim system?King

Hi folks. Just a quick question. I've recently been through the mill trying to sort out my interconnects and I've made quite a bit of use of the little Mayware RCA Phono -> 5-pin DIN adaptors, due to the difficulty in auditioning properly...

My system is active and consists of, LP12/GRACE/SUPEX/CD5/32.5/NAXO3-6/3X250/ISOBARIKS. I am expecting delivery of a Naim factory serviced SNAXO 3-6 this week and my problem is thus. There is a FLATCAP 2 powering the 32.5 and the CD5 and an older NAPS...

Very occasionaly when the player is accessing a disk the front panel including the naim audio sign will flash in beat with the accessing noise. If this happend the output would be all broken like there was a dodgy connection or it was a really...

We've got mice and we friends keep recommending devices which a) produce ultrasound (37 - 60KHz)in irregular sweeps/combinations, b)send signals along the mains which disturbs mice and other rodents. The devices seem to work, but the idea of putting...

In another thread Steven Toy says:quote:ensure that no wire touches either another wire, or the rack, and speaker cables should not touch the walls. Many others have mentioned the importance of cable dressing, but it is completely beyond me as to how...

HiPlease excuse my ignorance. I am considering getting an external power supply for my old style NAC12 NAP 160 and was wondering what is the difference between a HICAP and a SNAPS. Which would be most suitable, bearing in mind that I plan to ugrade to...

I am about to purchase a Hicap which will make my existing 5 shelf atacama rack ultimately redundant. To cover future upgrades I think I need a 7 shelf rack. I have seen in Ash Designs brochure they do a 7 shelf rack at around £550. The rack...

Quick question. I have the following in my current setup: NAC82/Supercap (two black Snaics) feeding a SNAXO2-4/HiCap (black Snaic). However, I also have a gray SNAXO Burndy. So I could swap the HiCap to the 82 and the Supercap to the SNAXO. I am aware...

In preparation for an important visitor I thought I'd be clever and remove the lowering device assembly of said tonearm (so many people advise this activity). Fine. But in so doing one has to raise the arm pillar to get the thing out. Fine. But. The...

Dear Forum,I recently acquired a 92R/90/flatcap and am about to by a CD5. However, although cheap by Naim standards, I'm wondering about spending 2K on a format that is clearly going to change. Are there plans in the works for a Naim DVD player?Also,...
