Hi-Fi Corner
Dear All,The other evening i invited a hifi buddy,his wife,both daughters both over 21 and one of the daughter's husband. This was to play a silly game of simple upgrades to a simple system,so as to see if any differences could be heard.The hifi buddy...
Today I got my new CD5, which I bought after listening to Linn Ikemi, arcam FMJ23, Rega Jupiter, AHTjoeb and a CDX. I can enjoy my CD collection now like my vinyls on my Rega P3.Can I consider myself now as "somebody"?My system consists now of- Naim...
If I want to play around using my Naim preamps with other power amps (and also Naim power with non-Naim preamps) I take it I just need a 4-pin DIN to 2 RCA cable (I'd be powering the pre from a SNAPS).I'm going to get the soldering iron out soon to...
Happy new year to all!!
Can someone post or send me pictures of SBL in either black ash or walnut finish? Have not seen a walnut finish before.ThanksRoland
I have the opportunity to pick up some very reasonably priced Yamaha NS 1000 M. Has anybody had any experience of them and what are the pitfalls [if any ]? Due to the distances involved..... I would like some pointers please . Ray [This message was edited by ray dodd on SUNDAY 02 December 2001 at 21:30.]
I am sure that most of us would like the inside scoop on Naim's plans for the future, especially regarding the new "552" preamp, CD player and SBL replacement (or is this just a rumour). However, as usual Naim will probably only tell us to be patient...
Today I went to my naim dealers shop to listen to the new Allaes. He has them demonstrated with the fully optimised series 5 kit of which I have aquired the cd5/112/150 so far. I noticed that every time I go there, he has his nap150 powered down when...
Howdy, Y'allThe last couple o' weeks I haven't read the/been very busy on the forum.Now, that could mean that I'm so happy with my system that I couldn't be bothered with the forum for a while,and I was listening to my music,or...yep,...I haven't been...
Have a look at this link! http://64.70.137.136/cgi-bin/f...sPrune=30&LastLogin= John.
How do you tell the difference between the new naim "lavender" interconnect and the old grey one.I supposedly just received a "lavendar" interconnect, but it looks pretty grey to me, and in fact looks the same as the one I was using. However, the...
As a retirement present a friend of mine has acquired a Linn Classik CD/amp/tuner. He is asking for my help to set this up and complete the system with suitable speakers/cable.Although he enjoys the music aesthetics are also important.I wondered if...
Does anybody own or know anything about this early Naim speaker?Two way stand mount I'm led to believe. Rumour is that they eat Intro/Credo's for brekkie.Happy New Year
Had the pleasure of listening to an £86k Linn System in Harrods today.It consisted of a CD12, some multi-room pre, 8 Klimax's (fake i guess), and some majorly large speakers...The whole system lacked any drive, detail, twas boring.This is my...
Anyone had any luck shielding RF from their Prefix? I tried some fancy RF shielding fabric and it did nothing...my K boards in my 52 are fine, but a Prefix is worth the trouble to get the most from my new (yes new) Troika. Chris Bell
Just noticed in an ad for the Bristol Sound and Vision Show that the new Naim Pre-amp will be launched and henceforth we shall Naim it 552...
Well, we finally got moved into our new digs and have had the obligatory Open House. So, with all that done, time finally to get back to my Pesky ProAcs.When we left off, I had followed ProAc distributor Richard Gerberg's advice and loosened the...
Hello all,My system consists of:- Linn LP12, CDI, 82/Hi-Cap x 2/250, SBL. My question is would a CDX be enough of an upgrade, or should I wait until I can get an XPS at the same time.I live in Jersey so I don't pay vat, so second hand isn't that much...
According to HFW sellers of CDS' can pretty much name their price at circa £700. If anyone is going to sell a CDS at this extortionate figure please drop me a line as I am a sucker! Why was the Allae review given to this title? Do they employ any...
Was tinkering around with my system yesterday and wasn't to happy with my slightly wobbly speakers, the floor under the carpet appears to be not very flat and I could get the spikes right.So I decide I will go for the screws into the floor boards and...
I always keep my Hi-Fi switched on 24/7.Last night I had to switch the house mains off for 10 minutes ( nothing to do with Hi-Fi)Prior to loosing the house mains I powered down my Naim system in the correct order. When I switched it back on I noticed...
Hello My system as it stands is listed below and I would appreciate any thoughts on the upgrade path(s)which are open to me. I came by my system second-hand and previously ran a cd63 k.i. sig\32.5\nap90\infinity reference 4 which sounded great...
Hello everyone.Through 10 happy years of climbing the naim ladder, I am stranded with CDS2/52/250/SBL which I like very much. I did some strategic thinking, which keeps me from sleeping. So I hope some practical experience from you could wipe off my...
Someone I know has recently mentioned to me that they prefer the sound of the CDS to the mk II version. Saying that although people consider the II more detailed, they find it boring. Also apparantly the only reason the CDS was ceased was because the...
As a newbie to this forum (well, I have been "listening" for quite som while) I'm just dying to bring up this topic. I can't remember I read or heard much about it.Well, the topic then. Here in Naimland PRaT is considered to be the main thing when it...
