Hi guys,have you ever tried to mention 'naim' on another (general) hifi-forum? What where the reactions? I happened to do so on a German-speaking hifi-forum and got slandered. 'Too expensive, boring sound, old-fashioned conncections, ...'. When I...

I've finally got my hands on a LP12/Armageddon/Aro/Prefix/HiCap/Lyra Lydian and am trying to set it up. Since I bought it used it didn't come with a dealer for setup, or any instructions for that matter.I need to know what the connection from the...

Lots is mentioned about purchasing second hand naim Kit, thing is where do you guys get it from online?I have advirtised in Loot online, is there anywhere else I should go?

We will attempt to add some new features to the site this week-end.It could all end in tears, we cannot just add the features without upgrading the whole forum, there is the catch.Oh well as they say in for a penny! You might love it.......you might not..

Hello allI'm new to this forum and maybe you've discussed this topic at length in the past but....How do I stop my CD3.5 having problems registering discs? Maybe 1 in every 50 discs I try to play seem to make a slipping noise and then the disc doesn't...

In another thread, the value of dealers was being extolled by the Forum Admin.I totally agree that we mustn't use dealers' facilities eg dems, then buy from 'box-shifters' or privately. This is morally wrong and unsustainable. Also, we can't all buy...

What a pile of drivel they have written this time. "..the Cobalts struggle when it comes to the thumping transients of on Missy Elliot's set, where a lack of attack makes the music sound lifeless and dynamically flat-footed..."What were they...

Having tried lots of different power distribution devices, ranging from cheap to ridiculously expensive, I think I have cracked it!.Recently, through a work colleague, I got to meet a manufacturer of distribution blocks. Obviously I interrogated him...

My brother has a Linn Karik. He's never been totally happy with it (he's also got an LP12), even more so since it's had to go back to Linn a second time since it's last service about a year ago.Has anyone compared this machine to the Naim players - a...

What do you guys make of this rack? Goto www.qsandd.com and click on "welcome"It's called the HF268 @ $299.I saw this today at the dealers. It was very light, very rigid. It weighed about 20 pounds, max. There are spikes which isolate each level. The...

I've done a search but can't find out which 3M feet are the correct ones to use on a CDS2 or LP12. Anyone know the model no.

I really should be posting this in the music section, however with such short notice I've decided to post here. Kruder & Dorfmeister will be playing in London tomorrow (Friday 17th July) at "Fabric" in EC1 from 10pm. If I got the address right, it is 77a Charterhouse Street. Anyone interested? P.S. I just checked with the club, the tickets are sold out BUT if you arrive early (9:30 or before then they'll let you in).

I've been offered a second hand CD2 at what I think is a fair price (around 700 GBP). Another option is to buy a CD3 at 400 GBP. The CD-player is going to be used with a nait3 and KanII's.I havn't heard the CD2, but I've heard a CDI and that was alot...

I moved from one flat in my building to a different one five weeks ago. The circumstances were auspicious, what with my landlord installing a dedicated spur for me, the floor being solid oak ‘glued’ to the hard surface underneath, and room...

I seem to remember somewhere on this Forum reading about a London hi-Fi show later this year - is this true, is it one of those big Hotel jobs I used to go to 20 years ago, and where is it? Thanks in advance, Steve

Hi again,The replies to my post yesterday about not being really happy with my system and wondering about what to listen for sparked something off and I decided to go back to square one. This, however, is not a tale with a happy ending (yet). The...

I am using a Linn Linto, BUT it does not seem to like my New Benz L2 Cartridge. I plan to alternate between my Arkiv I and my Benz I had the idea of getting a stageline and alternating with the Linto, depending on Cartridge.1) Any thoughts on the...

Ok I have a 92/90 and a flat cap. Which direction should the connecting leads be the leads are NA 40 & NA 46 the names of the leads are at one end of the lead, if someone could tell me therefore where the 'named end' goes that would be great. That is of course providing they are directional.

Hi folks,I'm enjoying my well deserved holiday right now,but since I'm not going any where this year,I'm left with a little amount of cash.(let's say around 450,- UKP)Now,as y'all may recognise, I'm thinking aboutupgrading my front-end. For a while I...

I've done a search on mains and had a look over some of the posts related to dedicated mains lines. Seems like a spur is the way to go. Could anybody specifically advise me about what I need to tell an electrician,in France, to get a dedicated spur...

1. Would a Nait3 with flatcap sound better than a NAC72 (plugged into the amp section of the Nait3)?2. Would a 32.5 with 72 boards sound better than a 72 (again with the amp section of a Nait3)?3. Would a 72 with flatcap sound any different than a 72...

Hi, tout le monde!After some years of furtive searching, I may have found affordable insurance cover for Naim gear: if the replacement value at today's market prices of your Naim equipment way surpasses the overall limit of your household contents...

Hi,Recently bought a 2nd hand 82 to replace my 42.5. As you can imagine, the difference was noticable ( ) and, all in all, I feel I am one step closer to a 'transparent' system.However, something is wrong. The problem is that I can't really put my...
