Hi-Fi Corner

HowdyI have been searching for a pair of second hand SBL's for as cheap as I can get (max £600) I think I may have tracked some down.They are old versions (serial number 86243) and the seller has told me that they do not have the later version...

Hi All!I remember reading in a thread about a late series of valhalla ps being able to play at 45 rpm.True?If yes: how are they labeled - how can I track one?Could my valhalla be tweaked?Besides the different pulleye - are there other budget solutions...

I am sure that this is a tired topic on this forum, but I have been unable to find the answer searching through the archives. Please forgive the mundane subject of this post.I currently have the following kit and expect that I will need a four (or...

Can anyone tell me..What is the difference between a Supercap and an XPS?I know what they both do...its the internals that interest me

Is there any information as to when the AV2 will be available?

I just bought my dealer’s demo CDX a couple of hours ago! Prior to taking the plunge I performed an A/B test between the CDX sans power supply and the CD5 / FlatCap2 combo, both running into a Nait 5 (my current amp). The CDX of course won hands...

Could anyone tell me how much the Linn Isobarik panelled Stands cost? Thanks, Ray.

there will be a stereophile show in NYC end of May of this year. Will Naim be their? I hope so! Let us New Yorkers know. thanks, David.

Finsihed off my new hifi stand last weekend. So far is sounding pretty good and everybody who has seen it thought it looked good.Need to get some picture together and will post them for your amusement.Matthew

I have just purchased a second had Snaxo 3-6 to replace the Linn outboard passive Isobarik x-overs. I have a 2 Hi-cap powered 82 and I am going to place the Snaxo in line to feed 6-135's.Question 1: Do I need a third Hicap to power the Snaxo or does...

My system consists of a pair of 135s/52/Supercap/Prefix/Hicap/Proac Response 3I have recently introduced the Prefix/Hicap, and I must say it is one hell of an upgrade, even better than moving up from a 72 to a 52, at least in my system. But it can...

Who can give me name & address of recommendable NAIM dealers in Switzerland or southern Germany? (OR alternatively: Warn me of bad experience, you might have had..!) The ones I dealt with in the past have committed the heresy of discontinuing the NAIM brand. Unfortunately, NO-NAIM dealers appear very reluctant to do trade-ins, (which is -among others - a strong point in favour of NAIM, especially for those suffering from “chronic up-graditis”!) Should you prefer to stay discreet...

ChapsFollowing my recent aquisition of Isobaricks with some Mana stands on the way, I have decided that I should hit the weakest link in my system which is the Rega RB300. The power amps and Fraim can come later.My TT set up is a reburbished Garrard...

I have just acquired a s/h cds2 and it sounds great. I noticed from the get go that when you push "start" that the machine makes some whirring noises that sounds like the motor or other mechanical noises. It lasts for a few seconds and then the...

Hi! Between summer and now I did a very large update from Axis/Akito1/K9/CD3.5/FlatCap/92/FlatCap/IXO/2*90/Credos to [see my profile]. My LP12 is in progress right now, my dealer took it back because of a problem [see topic "Is my LP12 defectively?"]. I am really looking forward to get it back soon... A few days ago the second pair of 135s arrived, that was the last upgrade-step... I plugged them into the S-Naxo (removed the PXO), and wow! It sounds fantastic! I cannot say much about it, I...

Could you please send me an email so I can reply to it -- you know the reason. I have a medicine-related question for you. Thank-you.

I have a tough decision to make. My setup consists of a NAIT5, CD5, FlatcapII and a NAP180. I want to upgrade to a NAC82, HI, NAP180 and CDX in the future.I am looking for a second hand Hicap at the moment and might have found one in Germany. This...

A friend gave me his digital camera for the weekend. As I'm going to change my speakers - from b+w cdm 9 nt to cabasse fregatte - here a couple of shots, showing the old setup. hope it works

Its time for some vanilla help here people. About 4 days ago my system very suddenly went 'off' and it has stayed that way!Without me changing anything all of the bass and warmth has disappeared leaving a thin much more aggressive sounding system with...

Does anyone have any experience with the modifications available? I purchased a Prefix for my P9 which has the ARO connector. I have also ordered the corresponding ARO connector to connect to the tonearm wires. This way I can easily change the prefix...

Many of us here, including me, go 'Pah!, CD's rubbish compared to vinyl'. Indeed, on many levels it is, but it suffers from a problem which I am deciding is so severe that the benefits are outweighed by it.Its a simple question of one disc duration or...

Several of my mid 1980s CDs are going brown - some are giving playback errors.There was reports of one of the pressing plants having problems and replacing the faulty CDs but I do not have any details of who and where.Can any one tell me the name and...
