...here.Best;Mark(an imperfect forum environment is better than none)

My local dealer tells me he has an early (Chrome?)32.5, Snaps, and 250 for around £500 and I have no experience with these models. I'm currently running a 72/140 and the basic question is would this represent a worthwhile swap?They are being...

What do you experts think of the CDSII review on the www.enjoythemusic.com site?Theo

My middle daughter is married to a Canadian and they live in Vernon BC. They are over here in England for a few months including Xmas.I was just about to buy them a modest DVD player for Xmas, eg Pioneer 737 or something similar for about £400...

.....going cheap at Bristol Audio-Ex....UKP495 if anyone wants one. I'd love it but can't get the cash. Bugger.Scott

I myself, like many others on the forum, use the LP12. My experience on other 'tables is very limited. I would like to know which other options I have if I would like to go for something else. This subject has probably been discussed before but I...

Hi folks.I just thought I'd let you know that I'm going to be easing back from this and the other forums for a while - I've got the system at a state which I am delighted with, and so I will be concentrating on enjoying what I have and buying new...

I was just wondering which component is the most responsible for PRaT (besides a good recording). If I were to list the order of importance, I would say source first, then pre, then speakers and finally the amp. But then I wonder if I had all Naim...

Would there be any chance of adding cables to the items sold through the Naim E-store? I orded 2 of the Naim sampler CDs online yesterday and they arrived in the post this morning - very impressive by however is doing the fulfilment for Naim.To...

I have just returned from my dealers and installed the new CDX (I'm listening to it as I type this, BTW)Does it sound like a pile of poo cos it's new out of the box?In a word, no! At my dealers we had a quick 15 minute test listen, and a tune dem...

Paul S.That's good that you've thought of that, but please makes sure it's big enough for real turntables like my Garrard in a 52*46cm plinth and weighing in at 22kg.Peter

Hi all,I'm planning to rearrange my system tomorrow (Sunday) and would like some input on recommended minimum distance (lateral) between the individual components.I expect that more distance is better, but for practical reasons I'd like to know how...

Or: things I have put under equipment in a (mostly) vain attempt to improve sound quality:CoinsDrinks coasters (plastic, metal and cork)Ping-pong ballsDrawing pinsCrosshead screws in rubber feetAluminium conesSoft rubber half-spheresLead...

Hi,Tidying up my system and considering a Hydra (Grahams).Anyone with experiences / comments regarding the use of a Hydra (or equivalent) to feed a 250, HiCap AND non-Naim CDP; in my case a Karik/Numeric (Separete feed to each) ?(Rest of system 82...

Hi Dan I've come upon a 140 that is supposed to have been professionally recapped with nichion muse caps improving the sound. What do you think? Thanks for your time, Dean

System: P9, CDX, 72/140/Hi Credo. Cartridge is a Rega exact.I've had the P9 and cartridge combo since I first purchased the deck about 7 years ago (actually I've had 2 Exacts, but I won't go into that here!)Any thoughts on cartridge upgrades, bearing...

According to you , which is the best of these two systems:1)CDX/XPS -Nac102/Supercap -Nap1802)CDX -Nac82/Hicap -Nap250Thank you for answering.Charles

Looking at the thread on speaker direction got me thinking about doing wrong stuff in ignorance.Here's 2 of mine:Having the left and right channels reversed on the back of the 250 since logic tells you to connect the speaker cable that way.Not knowing...

Until April this year I had been a regular reader of the forum for a period of a more than a year. Because I was very tied up redrafting a book I stopped visiting the forum regularly for seven months. I have been back for six weeks.Before April I...

Hi Guys, I have acquired a Nait 5 a couple of months ago. It's really fantastic. My cdp is not a Naim yet. Which upgrade path will be better?1. Get a used cd3.5 and a flatcap2 or2. A used cd3.5 and a used Hi-Cap2. Buy a CD5?Due to low fund,...

Recently I have added DNM cable throughout the system: 2 spurs, rewired a 4 gang, mains leads to equipment, all interconnects and speaker cable. I can't be accused of inconsistency.DNM cable, for whatever purpose is good and it is cheap, but I am...

Hi all!Reading the topics in this forum I got the idea that the boxes shouldn't be placed beteen the speakers; furthermore as the armboard of my lp12 was not in line with the plinth I felt the urge of setting it up properly. So in the early hours of...

Howdy, Y'allAbout 30 minutes a weird thing (imho) happened.I wanted to listen to some music. (no,no that's not the weird part )So, I got me a CD out my collection and I put it into my CDX. Pressed play and guess what.....For about 3 seconds the...

I am desperately in need of advice. At present, I own the following: LP12 (Ittok LV II), Rotel RCD-950, Hi-Cap, SNAPS, 32.5 (two! one is unused), 110, and a pair of Tucans. I will be selling the unnecessary equipment. I am considering the purchase of...

Is it possible to get links to each page of a given topic on the front page so it would say "Forum Features 1 2 3 4" in the box if there were four pages? I just saw what appeared to be an infopop-driven forum with this feature.--Eric
