Don't you feel alone."Paul Graham" is not so bad.And if the music choices at the next show is criticized, it will be Paul's fault.Emmanuel

Oops! Sorry, I will start again.My analog front-end is Linn LP12 Valhalla, Ittok and DV10X II.I have an old Karma that needs to be refurbished.Should I do that (cost 350UKP) or go for a DV20XL (cost 300UKP).Is it possible to use a Prefix in this ...

Hi there,if you haven't spotted this one: there is an ex-dem CDS2 for sale on the audio-excellence site (4040

I had a little devil's advocate, hypothetical disussion about Andy's mod with Linn. Here's a paraphrase of what they said: "We've done extensive side by side dems of this mod recently (I wonder if that's your fault AW). At first it seems as if a veil...

I have just purchased an Armageddon to replace my Lingo. I will therefore no longer have 45 rpm available, and before the surgery I would like to transfer my 45's to CD. What do I buy ? How do I use it ?

Picking up on later posts on the "Downsizing ..." thread (and others), a specific thread about QS supports seems overdue .Quadraspire have a dealer in Lulea in the North of Sweden (That damned country again ) so they should be thick on the ground...

I know that this topic had come across a few times on this forum, I just want to ask Ken C,I found a thread from him that he was decided to get either one or the others, then found another one for updating on his active 250, so obviously he went for...

Expert Stylus have offered me a rebuilt Karma or Troika for the same money (£380, which seems reasonable). My instinct was for the Troika, their advice was to go for the Karma.What's the forum advice?(Please don't tell me to buy an Aro and keep...

Today I have so far spent 3 hours listening to different combinations of equipment. Before I talk about specifics let me first explain my hi-fi philosophy. I asked myself a few questions: why did I buy Naim equipment in the first place? Answer: the...

Howdy,Y'all.Well, since this is my last week of vacation,I thought,I'd pay my favorite flat-earth audiodealer a visit. (also one of the few left in Holland,I'm afraid)Since I'm a regular customer/visitor I picked a Nait-2 from the shelf (He even had a...

i am often amused (bemused?) by divergent views on this forum, especially on upgrades and merit or otherwise of certain non-naim equipment. other than that naim amplifiers are world beaters, what do you guys believe that we have universal agreement...

Anyone on the forum live in the north of Sweden ? Naim re-sellers are thin on the ground up here, but that does not mean to say that there are no Naim systems up here./david

I have found a lot of recent threads fascinating. I thank Tony Lonorgan and others for that. The more I listen and the more I think about this the more important I think it is to have the courage of your convictions and to trust your own ears.I find...

Folks on this Forum - who have posted on a regular basis at least - seem to win them and lose them with impunity, but who is keeping score, and what are *our* scores?What are the measured criteria for winning them and losing them?According to your...

I'm just about to upgrade my system which existsof the following:CD3NAC 102NAC102, NAPSCHi-CapNAP250Linn KheilidhMy dealer recommends to change CD 3 first (CDX)and later (about 6-8 months) upgrading the loudspeaker. That's what I think as well but...

quote:There is also something that I have over the past few years I have come to realise that I don't get on with about the many big systems that I have heard. I think there is a point with equipment as good as Naim where the amplifiers and speakers...

My analog front-end is :

Too right – it really doesn’t matter if your system is mulleted to the nth degree. You still get to hear your music, and a great pre-power and speakers will still provide the music with much of the character to which one is accustomed....

I have just bought a pair of 1998 135's and I got no sleep last night. This pair has been out of service for a while, so they'll take some time to warm up but I am really enjoying the music.My question is whether to leave them permanently powered up ?...

Hi Everybody,As some of you might already know I bought a s/h CD2 from my dealer. Initially I was a bit disappointed as I found the sound a bit harsh.Now, after having been up an running since last wednesday, the system has transformed into something...

I'm sure everyone knows this already, but if you have a TV in the same room as your hi-fi (and obviously use the hi-fi for the TV sound), then it is advisable to remove the speakers from the TV. I have known this for well over a decade, but having...

Curiosity piqued by all the recent Kan-talk I decided I'd just have to get hold of a pair and see what they sounded like. A friend of mine has a pair of Mk I's that he uses as rears in his home-cinema setup, so a little begging soon had them round to...

Hi,I currently run long naca4 cables (ca 15m + souced in about 1984) but due to rearranging the relative position of my gear, have the possibility to change to shorter cables. I don't want to cut the existing cables since having long cables in a...

Dear old Russ keeps bombarding me with Emails ever since I bought some of his CD cleaning fluid and anti static stuff.I got this yesterday :-"We all know Autumn is fast approaching, but it also marks the start of our "CLASSIC SYSTEM SOUNDS" days at...

I have a line doubler which I use to give me great TV pictures, but the bad news is that this takes its power from a dc transformer. I feed the L/R channels of my AV stuff into my 82/250, which means I have to have the hifi on when I'm watching TV. ...
