Hi-Fi Corner

Ive been looking around, but can't seem to find anywhere which states the dimensions of IBLs.Can anyone help?

Hi all, just bought a pair 0f 135`s and wondered if anyone has experimented in the way they site their naim gear. Does it make a huge difference in regards to pre-amplocation/power/supplies/power amps?. Which way should i be looking at stacking the...

I was adjusting my balance knob, and found the the sound coming from the right speaker seems slightly muffled, compared to the left...Don't believe its the poweramp, i have been driving my speakers reasonably hard but not that hard, can it be that...

I vaguely remember reading somewhere about registering one's Naim equipment online. I couldn't find such a link on the Naim website. Can anyone link me to there ?

Found out that a dealer nearby has got 5 pair of new IBL's for sale.He offered me ex.dem 72/Hi for 750 GPB !Seems like a very good deal deal.Must then reassemble my 2 systems.He also has a NAP 180 for 600 GPB(ex.demo).Greetings,Rob

Can anyone shed light on what the major difference will be from moving to a Prefix "K" from the normal "K" board on my 52 ? Will it be worth the extra cost ?BTW, I find the "K" boards on either my old 72 or 52 really superb - for it's price, a giant...

I've mentioned this as part of another thread but had few takers. I have just bought a s/h NAC52 with NA523s. However I currently have a MM (LP12/Valhalla/Ittok/K9. Therefore I either need to buy a MM phono stage (NA522 or Stageline or others - please...

Hi Folks,I have one of these arms (Ittok LVIII/v2) on my LP12. From the descriptions of the Ekos I have read it sounds as if it is fairly similar: no arm rest, headshell glued on instead of screwed. I even believe that they use the same cabling. That...

OK -I was in Best Buy browsing DVDs and, what do I see? A DVD with the Alice Cooper 'Welcome to My Nightmare' album cover on it? Hum...this must be a concert video or someone has misplaced the CD. But no...it is a DVD-A version. And there's more - the...

Guys, apoligies, this is all becoming very boring people raving on how good the CDS2 is, well I am no different.Just picked up a used CDS2, drove home, plonked it on a sound org table, CDS2 freezing cold, Amp freezing cold, cables all over the place,...

I have a second system at home which consists of Toshiba DVD/32.5/110/AE1s. This combination makes a pleasant sound which equates to music with surprising regularity. But it would take a very expensive cocktail of mind altering substances to believe...

Well, it appears that music will be back into the life fairly soon. Set up the Fraim the other day.Thought I would send a pic of what is going on.Marc NewmanIt's been 17 monthes since I don't know when.

I have a 1996 pair of Credo with the crossover inside the speaker. Sould i bother to change it for the newer one that goes outside?Bernard Paquet

Any opinions on Contour 1.1, 1.3, 1.3SE (which apparently don't work with Naim), and still, the Crafft/C2.As you may have guessed I'm looking for imaging/overall speed/transparency/fast bass/sweet treble/ability to go loud/'disappearing' speakers,...

Currently have the following setup and looking at adding a supercap to replace the FC powering the 112. CDS1+CDPS112FC150Have searched the archive but still have the following questions1. Silly question really. Is the SuperCap an overkill for the...

My system restructuring is nearly complete now, I’ve got the Nait 2, got the CDX, and got a buyer for the Mana (the esteemed Mr Hanson) and enough money in the bank to buy the QS Reference when the Mana deal is complete. After all this I still...

Just moved to Geneva from London where I had a great listening room (22ft x 15ft). Now I'm faced with renting an appartment with a much smaller room, probably more like 14ft x 10ft. My setup is CDX / 82 / HiCap / 180 / B&W CM4s (and a Revolver Rebel - bring back memories anybody?!). Problem is the B&Ws need a lot of breathing space... Any recommendations of a pair of relatively inexpensive speakers (preferably floor standers) that work well with this kit and will work well in a confined...

Hey all,I need some advice about the minimum power and grunt needed to drive Kans. I'm considering getting a pair of original kans for use in a smaller listening room. For a while now I've been using a dynaco st 70 with my 72/hicap. For those...

Hi-Fi dealer in Geneva is recommending a 2nd hi-cap for my 82 rather than putting the money towards a PSX for my CDX... any views (I've not heard the effect of either yet)?The advice may be somewhat biased by him having an ex-demo Hi-Cap in stock but...

Having just become the proud owner of my new CD5 I can finally say that CD sounds as good as my turntable - about bloody time too!The most obvious change I have noticed is that it is now very easy to tell which speaker the sound is coming from if it...

OK, for over a year I used B&W Matrix 805s (on very heavy Osiris stands). These are very good in many ways, but I wanted more--in particular deeper bass, sweeter treble, and a more incisive, clearer, sharper sound. Feeding my speakers are a VPI turntable with SME IV, a CD3, 32-5/hicap/250/Nac A5. A few months ago I bought Spendor S100s with Sound Anchor stands as an attempt to solve the problems listed above. Their reputation is very good, and I figured if they failed, they would be easy to...

Leaving aside room problems which may account for most of it does one a) just blame a badly ported speaker, b) blame a power amp which just can't control the drivers properly, c) blame it on the software: many CDs have a synthed, boomy bass in the...

Help ! Can some kind CDS1 owner confirm the position and number of the transit locks.I have located the two allen screws in the loading tray .Are there anymore that I have forgotten ? Ray
