Hi-Fi Corner

I will be receiving a pair very roon and know there are folks on this forum familiar with Signums. What is a good starting point to set adjustable stand height? What about toe-in, distance from side and front walls etc. I can go fairly out into thew...

Hi,A while ago some of you may have seen an ad. in the LOOT for a CD3.5 with a battery which emulates the Hicap. I spotted this whilst looking for a cheap Hicap for my 3.5.I still cannot justify the £780 for a new Hicap so have been searching...

I recently was faced with the decision to renew my Stereophile subscription. I did. Please don't ban me from the forum.Let me explain. I completely dismiss most of the tripe contained in the reviews. (One of the reviewers consistently writes that he...

I've got a pair of walnut MkI Kans in the garage which can't be used because some inebriate cranked up the volume till they fried. (I bought them new many moons ago and the woodwork is in excellent condition)Point is, at the time of damage Linn had...

I have in-board phono card in my NAC72 powered by Hi-Cap.What sort of improvement should I expect with Prefix?Would there be any improvement if Prefix was powered by a lesser PS (i.e. FlatCap 2) or is a Hi-Cap the minimum required?

Apologies to all, but seeing as the forum's suddenly turned into mini-Loot (guess Loot must be full up), does anyone know what would be a fair price to ask for my NAC82 (no.158887)?And, er, do you want it?Alex

Yesterday I bought a SolidSteel 5.5 with a big marple stone to place it on. It sounds so f#cking good! (excuse my language, I'm thrilled)Don't buy any other rack, this is it. No fortune spent, "only" about 750 Euro for 5 shelves. Okay, I paid even...

Garyi’s recent post regarding the HDCD recording of Tubular Bells’ has prompted me to start this thread.I, like I suspect many others on this forum, are interested to see which new format succeeds CD. (If indeed one ever does!)Now...

Just wondering Is there any difference between the nait 3, 92 and their respective R versions apart from the obvious remote?

I recently asked the forum for advice on upgrading my CDS1 to a CDS2.The kind advice offered, was to upgrade the head unit to a CDS2 at Naim,then try to pick up secondhand XPS at a good price. As part of the logical process was that some money could...

I was involved in such an argue. People are claiming that by definition, products manufactured in small factories must be more expensive than products that are manufactured in a big factory.The argue was about the prices of products from small...

Any ideas what a pair of Epos ES14 with SF14 stands, guestimated at about 10 years old, are worth?Any help appreciated.cheers, Martin

My system has ended up as becoming somewhat mullet orientated, and my last purchase of the pre/power amps has really highlighted this. My system as it currently stands:Rega PlanetNaim 72/140Cura CA10Since I picked up the 72/140 (had a nait 3) I have...

The penny dropped this morning...Three years ago when I lived in Northamptonshire, I happened upon Listen Inn's dem room, (they are a Naim dealer who also stock Linn suff).There were some Keilids perched on these, er stands (?) which I thought rather...

Had an interesting conversation with a Rega employee today after I expressed an interest in the P9; apparently it is being replaced with an almost all-new model fairly soon - I think the only component which will be exactly the same will be the...

..OK, I know, it's just happy to be a CD 3.5, but the hum is really loud. It's mechanical hum from the transformer rather than mains based hum - and, did I say? - it's really loud! Any tips for reducing this without cocking up the sound?RegardsStephen

I currently have a NAIT3, MARANTZ CD67SE, and TDL RTL2 speakers. Advertised ( privately ) locally at a very reasonable price is an ARCAM 170 CD/AUDIO ALCHEMY D/A Converter.Are they worth the hassle of a listen, I have found little aboutthem on the...

There seem to be three stands. One fixed and two adjustable. I will be using them with Spectral gear. The fixed are MUCH cheaper. Are the ajustables that much better and if so, which adjustable. There are the wood/iron and wood/stone adjustable. ...

Hi,I have followed the recent QS etc threads and a couple of times the use of ball bearings and nuts (as an intermediate decoupling between shelves and equipment ?) has been mentioned. If I interpret things correctly, this 'mod' was regarded as...

Hey you people from Naim,where's the newest news about your products?(We have just got first snow in Switzerland, soWINTER 2 0 0 1 is just arriving)

My old Philips/magnavox CDP needs replacement. A Naim CDP seems to be a good choice I can choose between a CD5 and a (new!/demo) CD2. What is the better choice? Or what are sound differences?(The CD2 is $350 cheaper).
