There is now an updated version of the unofficial FAQ, although the content is more or less the same and its only really changed to remove the dead links for which I was getting regular hassle of various people.BTW it is increasingly out of date and...

My remote for the CDX is no longer working when the 'numbers' are pressed. All the other functions work perfectly.Has anyone else ever experienced this? Is it a fault with the remote or the CDX? It all sounds as good as ever, thank goodness. Any help...

Hi,Currently I use Isobariks and Kan IIs in my Naim setup (LP12/NAT02/CDSII/52/135s). I have the unique opportunity to buy an old pair of walnut Kan Is with Kan I stands(serial number 189xx)in mint condition for just under GBP 200. They are almost...

I have been a fan of JPS cables before my Naim conversion, and recently bought some JPS Labs jumper cables for my speakers. While looking for literature, I noticed from http://www.jpslabs.com that they claim Naim Audio loves their cables. Can Naim...

It was cheering to read the massive bollocking Hi-Fi+ gave the HFN Show in Hammersmith. Due to some stupid corporate-imitating prannock in HFN, Hi-Fi+ and other UK-based magazines were banned from appearing at the show. The likely cause was...

Currently have 72/hicap/140 with P9 and CDX and have been reading the threads regarding the new 112 / 150 combo, which indicate that the 112 is a significant improvement on the 72 and maybe even the 102.Has anybody tried a series 5 component without...

I appreciate that black SNAICS and Burndies for 52 (etc.) to Supercap (or flat/hi) are better having recently changed these. Excuse my ignorance but can the source to preamp interconnects be had in black, or are these and the Black SNAICS one and the ...

For some time I have been complaining and asking advice about the treble harshness of my system to Naim, local dealers and my friends. I upgraded 3.5/hi/62/90 through to cdx/112/hi/150 looking to cure a top end graininess that made listening a real...

Having ended up building the system 'back-end' first as a result of some good 2nd hand finds (active SBLs now), I decided to treat my LP12 to an upgrade for Christmas.A tired old Ortofon MC10 was ditched, replaced by an MC25FL and a new Prefix. Set up...

Our German contributors might be able to fill us in with the scoop from the latest massive rack test.........( if such things interest you)I have not seen the issue but have been told the Fraim did very well.

I have an OC9 in a full spec LP12 set up (Lingo/ekos /circus) and thought I had it set up optimally. I have it on 1.75 tracking and 1.75 bias. Everything was hunky dory until I played REM 'New adventures in HiFi'; at first it sounded awesome but then...

I like to leave my 72/Hicap/180 switched on for obvious reasons. Recently, the RCB in the consumer unit has kicked in a few times during the day and I wondered if this could harm the equipment in any way, perhaps not by going off, but if power is...

Hi,Given the importance of the power supply, what can anyone tell me about getting the mains sorted - I am in Spain, and the power fluctuates badly, so need a surge protector ( so Naim tell me..)Do any of you know anything about these - A PS Audio...

I have been thinking about supports a lot, and independently of the previous stands thread, which I have just read, have decided the following.A stand has two jobs--a)to isolate a component from structural vibration, and b) to deal with any vibrations...
