Decided we needed a new amp to replace the alpha6, so duly went off the listen to Arcam FMJ A22, Nait 5, and was going to try 112/140 but dealer had a second hand 92R/180 which was at a very reasonable price (of course).The rest was as my existing...
Has anyone else run into this? I recently bought a used 102 to replace a Linn LK-1 preamp. When I turn on a light switch or the fridge motor comes on, I hear a popping sound through the speakers, but only when the preamp is in phono mode. This can be...

Can anyone give me the low-down on setting up a pair of the above.I bought them new about 5 years ago, with the upgraded bass driver and run them with 72-hiCap-180/LP12-basik-K9/Sony 339ES CD player! (purchased before any naim stuff hit the shops).The...
After 18 months of hard use the in-ear headphones that came with my Panasonic SJ-MJ70 (minidisc walkman) have finally died. I listen to my walkman mainly on the tube and at work so I need something that doesn't radiate a lot of sound, is comformtable...

Being a fairly recent convert to the world of Hi-Fi, (and somewhat more recently to Naim) coupled with being in the most evil of professions..... marketing. I started to wonder how the many forum members actually got into what has been for me both a...
Hi!I am quite happy with my current setup, but am already thinking of my future upgrades. My setup is CDI, 102+napsc+HiCap, 180, Intro's+CXO. I have the chance to buy some Epos ES22's for 1000 Euro. Would that be a good upgrade, or would it be more...
Looking at some of the other posts, there is a lot of advice about what to do to fix this / improve that etc. I wonder what other people have found are definite ly bad moves, not a matter of taste, but plain useless upgrades / sidegrades and placebo ...
rather that hijack the "novice" thread -- i thought perhaps better to start another more specific thread.alex s: i think you have something in "The P in Prat, for Pace, to my mind equates to a hi-fi's ability to deal with Transients satisfactorily -...

ChapsMy CDS2 arrives tomorrow and as you know, it has a flap which needs to be lifted in order to insert the puck and disc.The standard height of a Hutter rack is too narrow to allow the flap to be lifted up. Therefore because Mrs Mick insists on...
No more jokes, a serious question.Why did a dealer tell me that I should use the Tuner input on my 82 for my CD player? He mentioned something about the standard CD input being buffered, is this true, and if so, does it matter?ps I don't use a tuner.
Today I had a bit of fun comparing my LP12 with my CDS2The LP12 is Lidless, Baseboardless, Lingoed, new motored, serviced, ittoked, DV20Xed, sitting on cones on Base on Sound org 5 tier rack (with Lingo in bottom shelf).My CDS2 is partnered by CDSPS...
Praise due to NANA for fantastic customer service. On Monday my local Naim dealer came to the house to set up the SBLs. During this process he found that the phase plug was loose in one of the drive units (thanks UPS!). I had to go out of town the...
