Hi-Fi Corner
...I have a question for those in the know regarding ProAcs.I'm currently running a pair of ProAc Response 2 speakers - these are the original Response 2 - not the 2's' that came a bit later. I'm running these on Atlantis stands (made in Canada ) that...
If someone currently has a half decent rack (Ash Design in my case), at what point in the hierarchy does the performance benefit of replacing it with a Fraim outweigh the cost involved. For example, would I benefit more from replacing my rack with a...
I have been running my Isobariks for quite some time with coins between the speakers and the stands. As I remember it, they removed some muddle from the bass, and cleaned the sound up nicely.I had also thought this in a friend's system (although he...
All I want for Christmas: ˇChris BellMore Fi, Less Hi
After many years of being unimpressed with the sound from my Hi-Fi I recently decided to buy some second hand Naim equipment.The sound has now vastly improved and I am very pleased. I have a CD3.5/flatcap/NAC92/NAP90.3 and intend to continue to...
I have a LP12/Ekos/Asaka.Will be getting an Armageddon.If I were to upgrade the cartridge, is there a big difference between Asaka and Arkiv?Arkiv is about £1,200.Is it worth upgrading to this or are there better value for money cartridges?
I am at a crossroads. I have cdx/01/lp12/ekos/rega exact/82/supercap/135s/linn5140s and linn 5150 active sub. I just got the 135s and my system is sounding real good. A friend can sell me his 3 yr old cds 2- to buy it I would have to sell my subwoofer...
Hi, i just received a new CDX (i had a cd3.5/Hicap).The rest of the system is Nac102/Supercap/Nap180/Linn Kans.What should be the next upgrade??new XPS?, s/h CDS2/XPS (very hard to find!!!), Nac52, used Nap135's, new loudspeakeres (SBL, Martin Logan...
I've used the 17 and was quite impressed. I think I could get by without the auto features and don't expect to clean many records in a session, so I'm thinking of buying a 16.5, but have not tried one.My question is: Is the suction on the 16.5...

First post. Apologies to the forum hosts for yet more on a competitor’s speaker, however I will try and keep this fairly balanced. I used the original SP2s for more than 10 years before buying SBLs. However, after 3 years with the SBLs, a year...
Is ANYONE out there listening to this album??The band is called KosheenThe singers name is Sian, and she is awesomeANYONE?????
Hello altogetherI'm using a NAC 102 with a Hi-Cap and a NAP 250.What does a Super-Cap instead of the Hi?(Shall I first upgrade my CDX with a XPS, I'mwondering if in case the format changes (SACD, DVD) the XPS will be useless for that future...
Ok I only have a lowly rega 2 record deck. Apart from having some nice chord plugs on it I don't think theres a lot else changed.The trouble?Well I just don't listen to it, never have really. This too me is a little concerning after reading so much...
Can someone post the history (style changes, electonic improvements and serial number ranges)please. Thanks.
I have 2 hicap 180 82 62 and 140 and always left it switched on all the time.However I noticed that all of it feel cold (room temperature) except the 140 which is quite too warm (hot) either played or not.Is there anything wrong with it ?
Hi folks.I'm coming out of my 'hibernation' to fill in a few gaps and clarify some of the rumours that I hear have been flying around regarding stands and so on. Firstly, this is a rather long post, so please bear with me. It backs up a lot of what...
I've been running in my new kit for about 2 months now and thought it had really come together, then last week something happened where the sound was truly transformed yet again and sounded bloody fantastic!...I mean major major transformation....then...
ChapsThe leaflet that came with my Isobariks said that they should be placed between 5cm and 10cm from the wall. Naturally I have done this and they sound good.The speakers are a self contained unit, so how can it make any difference whether they are...
Does anybody have any pictures of an openedNAP 250?Cheers.Reto
And of course why?I will soon try to upgrade my CD player, but as always it'll be used and the 3.5 used is about the right price. I heard a friend's 5 and I was very impressed and very jealous.
If the answer is blindingly obvious then forgive me. I've asked the dealer who sold me the kit and he doesn't know either..............If I add a add a power supply to my 92 preamp, I'm adding a second 24V rail.Question. Where or what does that second...
Hello All! There is a friendly offer of an Akito Tonearm - very reasonable priced. As I have a Basikplus arm here is my question:Is the sonic difference between them noticeable?As the Akito is quite reasonable priced this would be a nearly free...
