Hi-Fi Corner
Today a college at work approached me asking what I think of Bose speakers. It made me realize that I dont really know much about them by facts and I never listened to them. Apparently they are pretty pricey, but from hearsay I know that there exists...
I am nearly ready to part with money at last! I think it's going to be CD5, 112,150, FC2 (with speaker to be decided from a shortlist of two, or four depending on how you look at it!). I cannot see that line line up justifying a Fraim which is just as...
Today I upgraded the sound from my system in a very big way. Normally it lives in my study, sharing the 12’ x 8’ space with a PC, various musical instruments (synthesizer, guitar, violin), loads of storage (including about 1000-1500 CDs...
Redid the stand installation 'chez Stockwell' this weekend and, following the advice of Mr Toy, installed the components on the stand in a different order. Now it's TT/CDP/TT psu/Stageline/Nait5/Spare shelf (for HiCap, when I pick it up). This...
Did anyone try the kit for upgrading the IBLs ? What does this kit do for the sound ? Did anyone try to locate the IBLs on a surface higher than the floor surface ?

Hurry up with your replies as I'm sitting the back end of a contract 'on the bench' (football parlance) and it's getting frustrating waiting for interesting posts to come in... TC '..'"Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a Muffin..."
Just installed the RR1s last night. Some observations:-They sound bl**dy atrocious. I've never heard a speaker sound so muffled, it's like listening with two pillows pressed to my ears. I hope this is an extreme case of break in.-10 o'clock on the...
The illuminated switches on a couple of my old-style 135's have blown. I've had a look inside, and the switch is wrapped in all sorts of black plastic and neatly cable tied to stop the likes of me prodding around. Is there a simple way to get the...
I understand (?) these are the equivalent black vs grey SNAIC upgrade for source to preamps ??? Anyone have any direct experiences - is it as good as the black vs. grey ? naheed thanks in advance [This message was edited by Naheed on SUNDAY 09 December 2001 at 22:40.]
Are there manuals for older equipment anywhere? I'd like them for my CD 3.5, FlatCap, 72, 140 & Hicap! Stephen
My systemLp12/ittok/asaka/armageddon, CDI, nat03, 102/napsc/Hi , 140, IBLs.The CDI lies on the top of a QS, the TT lies on a cheap metal/mdf stand.The bass from the TT is much better than this from the CDI and the sound from the TT goes lower than the...
Some time back, here: http://forums.naim-audio.com/e...385&m=8551911411&p=2 David Dever mentions the possibility of using the SCap digital suppy to power the switching on an 82 instead of a NAPSC. Some questions good people: 1. Has anyone done this? 2. Is it better, worse or what? 3. What cable does one need to do this? Any other comments or help gratefully appreciated. regards, Mark
Can ayone suggest a way of reviving the "rubbers on the Top hat puck for a CDI. Mine appear fairly nackered and no amount of flicking and squeezing will bring them back into shape. For the first time I am experiencing disc slip/ misstracking because...
Yesterday I had a demo of the CD5 and the Ikemi.Impressions:Ikemi: clearer highs, more detailed, wider and deeper soundstage, voices and violins better.BUT: I liked the CD 5 more. It played more music. I didn't listen anymore to highs, a voice left or...

Anybody is using NACA5 with less than 3.5 m in length (which is minimum recomended by NAIM)?
Sorry, it's about M*** again.After all these positive reviews for M***, I want to try out the SBL sound bases, any of you can tell me what can I expect.Perhaps Cornflake shop can arrange a demo?thanksMartin
Ok folks, been lurking for yonks but here's my first question for the forum. System is LP12 Valhalla, No Circus), Itok IV-II, DV20-X/CD5 FlatCap/102/NAPSC/Hi-Cap (Prefer the HiCap on the CD5 but for best sound from LP keep it on the 102)/140/IBLCD5...
Any advice from experienced users of the goldring 1042 about the tracking force? Mine probably has fewer than 20 hrs on it so is probably not broken in yet. It came from the dealer set up at about 1.8/1.8 but seemed to have some sibilance on some...
I have a couple of questions for Naim (I apologise if these repeat previous threads but I have been off the forum for many months).Was the Fraim designed primarily scientifically, primarily by experimentation using listening tests, or by a mixture of...
If you have a cdp,ps and pwr amp which order should the plugs get stacked into the wall?Ta muchlyredeye
Ok, so you love Naim Audio, you discover they now make AV kit, you think GREAT I'll get a home cinema too. You race out and buy a dvd player then race back out and buy some allaes.Stick your allaes in the front, chuck your old Credos on the back and...
A recent topic and discussion with a friend, has set me onto thinking about this more...From personal experience this does make a difference, but when I was asked to explain the physics behind it, I was stuck.Can anyone explain to me, in a technical...
Hi folks. At some point toward the end of next year, I will be looking for a CD player to replace my long-gone Arcam player, which was never that great really. I am using a Marantz DR6000 right now as a player, but come the time I will relegate that...
My new (used) turntable has arrived and I'm looking for a bit of advice on setting it up. I bought my previous Project turntable new and it was a piece of p*ss to setup but this one has no instructions and is quite different.It's sitting on a levelled...
