Hi-Fi Corner
For those of you who are driving SBL's actively and are using a CDSII, 52 and Snaxo, I am curious as to the settings on the Snaxo. I have experimented some and have finally settled on the factory settings but have heard that many think the CDS is a...
When do Naim have a price increase?
AlexWhich pre are you using and are you still happy as a sandboy with it?
As I said on an earlier posting I'm new to this Name gaim. My system is CD5 112/150, now with FC2, and Credos. I paricularly like to listen to 20th century chamber music. My room is approximately 5m square and I sit 4m from the speakers.I've noticed...
First of all I would like to say hello to everyone since this is my first post in the forum and I would like to thank you for my membership approval.I would be glad to know if there is any technical expert around on whether the group delay is getting...
I'm currently using a Thorens TD160MkII which I purchased cheap on Ebay. It came fitted with a modified RB250 (it's fitted with the counterweight and stub from an Audio Technica arm) and an Audio Technica AT110E cartridge. The turntable is also fitted...
Well, its semi-official now. My ProAc Response 2 speakers are buggered!!!System just wasn't working right - vocals sounded "cupped" and the usual ProAc scale was lacking.I drove 2+ hours and had the local ProAc dealer (for over 20 years) give 'em a...
I hesitate to start this thread only because it points only to one person and his personal bias. But I present it only because he appears to have done an absolutely ENORMOUS amount of work in setting up and contributing the content to his website....
As a relative newcomer to this forum I have learnt a lot about Naim gear in recent weeks but please can someone tell me what is PRaT and Flat earth ???thanksMark
I have a late pair of SBL's driven actively by 135's and play at high volume setting. Last night I heard a buzzing from the right speaker. I removed the foam from the mid/bass to find the willy thingy had fallen off and was resting against the drive...
I purchased a Nait 2 many years ago and do not want to give it up, but am thinking about turning it into a pre amp and have serval questions about how to go about this. The Nait 2 is paid with Epos ES14s, a new Rega Planet 2000, the green Cord Co....
I'm new to this Name gaim so please accept my apologies if this is really obvious. When I purchased my system [CD5 112/150, now with FC2, and Credos] back in June my dealer told me that the minimum cable length rcommended by Naim was 3 metres. Is this true? and if so why? I had thought that short cables would be better as tehy offered least resistance. Steve
Anyone have any experience with the new Roksan TMS 2?
Sorting out some of my cabling tonight.Found some wildlife:-cheers, Martin
With adjacent threads raging about value-for-money and laws of diminishing returns, I thought I’d do a bit of juggling last night.For complicated reasons I’m entertaining a whole stack of Naim kit at the moment and last night gave a few...
Deja vu.OK, on my recent travels I've managed to get hold of a Dynavector Karat2 (for a sick amount of money that I won't reveal) and will be needing a suitable MC phono stage. I am still using a non-SE gyrodec with ol/rb300 which I'm hoping to get...
Hello,I know this isn't a Linn forum, but someone here can probably help me to find a place that will service Saras. I need to replace the rubber surround for one of the bass units. Mine has a tear.The U.S. branch of Linn won't help; I tried to get...
I'd like to seek some expert advice from out there in Naimland. How do you know if a PSU needs re-capping? Is there a finite number of years after which it should be serviced, or does it depend on how much use it has had and do prolonged periods of...
My wife asks me every other day or so whether she can turn off my Naim kit. I always tell her "No, it is supposed to be left on all the time; sounds better that way."She has astutely posed the question of how much electricity does it draw (read it -...
I would welcome any comments from anyone with experience of using a Naim Prefix. I have a Lyra Helikon/"K" Prefix/Hi-Cap/52/SCap/135s. Installing the Prefix gave a big boost to sound quality, as did adding the Hi-Cap, and removing the "K" boards from...
Dudes and Dudettes,Here it is, I did the demo and now for the details. Last week The Sound Organisation (York) managed to obtain a sample of the Resolution Audio CD55, thus enabling my demo on Friday against a Linn Ikemi and Naim CDX.Wow what a demo...
Hello everyone. I would be interested to know your opinion on speaker stands. What is better, solid heavy stands or light ones? Is there any pattern such as "heavy speakers match with heavy stands and the opposite"? It is said lately that the old and...
I am in the market for a not too expensive turntable to take advantage of dirt cheap used vinyl and some newer desirable stuff (eg the new Aphex Twin album which looks so spiffy in its longer than standard case) What does 'the panel' think of the...
As my darling wife and I are struggling to decide what to get each other for Christmas she has decided that we’re each to get 500 quid to spend on whatever we want (although I expect she might have difficulty accepting my preference being for a...
Hi Guys,Whats your opinion on best Brik seperation? I'm about 9 feet back from my briks with 9 feet of separation between speakers. However I just reduced the speaker separation to 5 feet (measured inside cabinet edge to inside cabinet edge) and...
