Hi-Fi Corner

I just moved to a new apartment, and I've been dissatisfied with the system since I set it up, about 3 weeks. It's also been switched on and off numerous times, so that I can fiddle with light switches etc.Today it sounds great, and it's been switched...

Hi guys,I am a bit disppointed at the moment, as I lost the chance to upgrade my pwer supply to NAC82 to super-cap instead of 01 Hi-cap. Last Sat, my dealer called up earlier in the morning and told me that they got something which I would be...

The february issue of HIFI WORLD will contain a test of the Naim allae.Theo

The traditional extruded Naim cases ring, and I for one have never mastered the art of positioning that plastic 'damping strip' that can be found on newer stuff with transformers inside so it actually works. What I have discovered is that a small...

HEALTH WARNING (this might be better placed in the Padded Cell)The other day I was daydreaming. Ok, it was wishful thinking.What would be the best way to use 6*135s. (or 3*500…..or , in fact, any gain-matched set of six power amps)Would it be...

I noticed that my local dealer has a couple of Nait3's in their secondhand section for approx £400. Which leads me to a couple of newbie questions -- Is that a fair price? I think it probably is based on Loot.- Would I do better to save a little...

While recently reassembling my system, I found that my HiCap says that the 4-pin cable to the 250 should be in socket 2. However, my 82 manual says socket 3. My HiCap is about 10 years old. Which is right, or are the both the same?

Check out www.hdcd.com - what was once simply HDCD is now "Microsoft HDCD, a Windows Media Technology."... Does this mean that my Naim (Microsoft?) CDX will now take ages to boot up, be prone to ludicrously simplistic virus attacks, frequently crash,...

I'm curious about how Naim was reviewed in the past. I'm a historian, so forgive me. I'm interested in the old stuff and the middle stuff--how did the 52,62, and 72 get received, and what about hicap and 135s. I don't have an archive of British rags,...

George Harrison has just passed away. A real sad moment, a real pity.Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone hasn't heard.TC '..'"Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a Muffin..."

Anybody using Naim in a minimalist style room i.e. wooden floors, leather furniture (and little of it), etc?The room does echo, and I'm sure that this is impairing the sound of the system. I really want to keep the minamilist look... does anyone have...

Can somebody help me out on this?

I'm currently considering an upgrade to either active 250s or passive 135s.anyone with such setup? willing to let me listen.RegardsRoland

HiI'm just getting in to this naim lark. Just wondered if I could pick your brains. I am after a CD Player but as yet can't afford any of the Naim ones. Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives - I do not mind going second hand and often feel...

Following Bob Neill's recent postings on phono sockets, I have to wonder out-loud why noone has tried the lateral approach - to make a fatter DIN plug. Maybe it would need slightly longer internal pins that might be bent to take pudgy cables?Surely...

Last month the German magazin "Stereo" tested the fraim with good results: a second place behind the finite element pagode.This month another German magazin "Stereoplay" tested 5 racks: Fraim, Hutter, Creaktiv, Finite elements and Phonosophie. This...

Looking for Naim reviews I searched the archives of The Absolute Sound. I was surprised how little attention this magazin devotes to Naim products.Doesn't Harry Pearson like the Naim sound? Is it the policy of the American Naim ditributor or just ...

Hi there, I buy promo-copy CD quite often, you can listen to the new materials well before they are released, I also buy a lots of the official released ones of course.I just wonder whether the CDR will damage the CD player, I doubt it, just need to...

. Please note: This is NOT a joke. VV is trying to hook up a guy he met on a photography forum with a willing Naimie in northern California so this guy can be dispelled of the notion that a Rotel CD player is better than any record...

I've fairly recently upgraded my system with used purchases.CDS1/PS82/Hi-cap250 (replaced 140)SBLs (replaced Intro 1s)Due to availability (Thanks to a patient Mike Harris!) the SBLs came first. I've commented on another thread about what happened, but...

While the 52 is being discussed ....I’ve read somewhere, that the levels of all / some of (?) the input signals to the 52 can be trimmed in such a way, that all sources play at the same volume.Is this possible? – By what means? E.g....

After 4 months of intensive use I am definitely in love with a CD player: My Sony D-EJ925 Walkman.What impresses me most about this player is the way it manages to sound upbeat but not harsh as well as being pretty detailed. The 'structure' of the...

...why it's a cartridge, of course. And the same old boring ones at that (sorry). Since I don't have the money right now to make a mistake I need to tap this forum's broad experience and sage advice - and hot air :-)The system: LP12, uncirked, Akito...

I posted this on a different forum in response to some similarly themed posts. Please be gentle.quote:Contrary to some opinions I believe it quite safe to say that CDs will not be obsolete in a few years. Eventually yes, but not in a few years. Let's...

I've just been given on of these and thought I might give it a try.Does anyone know what board (K, S, E) works best with it?TIAJon
