Hi-Fi Corner
I have selected Sonus Faber (concertino or Signum) as a replacement for my Dynaudio Contour 1.8's, which put out FAR Too much bass for my room. Ultimately, I will be moving away from my Spectral amp/pre-amp/MIT Cables to a simpler and far cheaper, but...
Will Naim have a 'closed' session again, at this year's HiFi Show, for members of this Forum?I recall being aware of one last year, but not being a member, felt excluded by some sort of exclusive clubCheersDon
Hi everybody,Yesterday I recieved a CD2 that I bought from a dealer in Sweden. I think it´s a great player, but I find the sound a bit harsh.System: CD2/nait3/KanII on KanII stands/Naim cables.The CD2 and nait 3 is on separate IKEA tables.I...
I'm running out of room for all these black boxes. The LP-12 and Numerik sit on Sound Org tables, the Karik sits on the Numerik, and the 102, 250, cassette player and tuner share a Target stand. The HiCap and NAPSC sit on the rug under the...
A couple of three years ago at a high fi show were these disks of thin plastic with some black lines on it. It was said to improve sound if placed on the cd in the drawer.They were about 20 quid, and in my opinion made no difference whatsoever infact...
I have move back to London and have a fantastic new room. The system sounds great. However I have noticed that my Prefix is more affected by RFI, probably due to my central london location. Curiously when I try a direct connection to input 2 of the 52...
Yesterday there was a stereo forum in a place here, and one of the speakers was a person who supposed to be an expert in speakers manufacturing.He told us that there are 3 known different approaches followed by different manufacturers to speakers...
Please help.I've been putting off fitting bncs for ages even though I've read many times that they're bound to sound much better than phon-bnc adaptors.Anyway, I've finally found the courage to get round to fitting the bncs to my OL modded RB300, but...
I am seriously thinking of replacing my Dynaudio Contour 1.8's, even if it means a lesser speaker that integrates better in this room. I have tried a lOT of speaker placment alternatives and can at best achieve moderate results with trade-off'sBecause...
I have been trying for 6 months (no, i'm not exaggerating) to find a solution to this little problem but have resisted posting it until now because it's not just a Naim problem.Basically when i plug my DVD or TV into my Nait the hum is extremely loud....

Phono stages.Looks like I will need to start thinking about out board phono stages. I'm predictably looking to get the job done as cheaply as possible. The ones that come to mind are:Tom Evans Micro Groove - its relatively affordable at 400 quid, and...
Hi,everybody is talking about prices. Of course Naimequipment was/is/and will always be expensiv. Ifyou buy a Porsche you will get a perfect car, andof course it's expensive. You pay the qualitiyand certainly the name as well.Naim is exactly that kind...
There are now the occasional NAP500s appearing on the second hand market.Here is my naive questionHow good are they in passive non Naim speaker systems, how do they compare to a brace of 135s.I know that we all believe that they are the "ultimate" but...
Mark,can you mail me again privately? My answers to your query keep bouncing back.CheersUwe
HiI need original packaging for a Linn tonearm - I have an Ekos. I'm not fussed about that wooden box they used to come in, and am sure an Akito box would fit the bill. Am freighting (not by air) my Ekos - I figure original packaging will give the...
ChapsI thought that I would set up this posting to save Mike Hanson / Vuk the trouble when they decide to complain about the new layout.There's bound to be something about it for them to moan about.Yours in eager anticipationMickNB...I cannot enter...
OKSAVE THE KANS!at this rate the veritable Linn Kan will be second only to MANA as a topic done to death on this forum... but there is a point to this one.Someone recently said that "Kans are not just for an evening" or words to that effect. It...

Hello allI have just bought some new kit, and would be most grateful for any tips concerning its setup. I'm not after general things like not touuching snaics and things, but specific to the models.They are a CDS1 and a NAC52/52PS. They are both being...
Having survived a burst tank and a house move I now need to rebuild my system. In particular the SBL's have been broken down. Anyone livinf in the Surrey/Hants border area who would be willing to help (of course followed by a trip to an excellent pub!!)?

Hi,This spring I bought a brand new 102 (with NAPSC).So far I'm happy with it. Now, I'm wondering (a bit late, I know) about how much better the 82would be. It's certainly not the difference likebetween a 52 and a 82 but.... what do you think?Anyway,...

Hi, Wonder if anyone has experiences or advice to share ? I am trying to localise a problem in my system which I have described in an earlier post ( http://forums.naim-audio.com/e...8019385&m=4211960362 ) and have (so far) found two 'funnies.' 1. The mid-range 'buzz' which I am experiencing is not speaker dependent, switching outputs on my 250 moves the problem to the other speaker. With the CD on "repeat" over a ca 2 second part of a track on which the buzz is clear, having turned off the...
