Went to the Hi-FI world Linn LP12 vs CD12 demos yeaterday. Interesting. They were using LP12,Lingo, Ekos Archiv vs the CD12. Linn amps (don't ask me what - sleek and expensive) and some truly massive active speakers that will be available in July....
Hi,I have just purchased some Rega Ela 2 speakers. And am looking for tips and advise on how to get the best out of them.Things like against wall/freespace, Toe-in/straight. covers on/off etc.Also,how does this "Quater Wave Transmission" thing work...
music recommendations aside, the most useful tip i have picked up on this forum is the one about reconditioning the rubber rings on the naim cd puck -- i believe this was from the "puck off" thread. as a result of this advice, i can now play quite a...
My Nac 52 is powered by the original 52PS supplied, what are the benefits of upgrading to a Supercap and is there really such a big difference for the amount this would cost?I understand there might be a second hand market for the 52PS as it can be...
What is the difference between the 52ps and the Supercap? Can an old 52ps be changed for a Supercap ? Is it worth doing?TIADavid Slater
I had the XPS on order, and it had arrived in the shop. However, after long deliberation, I've decided that CDX/XPS is not for me.Instead, I'm going to go for CDS2, and while I'm at it I'll upgrade my 82 to a 52. Hell, you only live once. So now the...
In your opinion, where does naim sound come from mostly. Is it from:1. Preamp2. Poweramp3. CD4. SpeakerThanks.
Hello everyone,It's the first time for me to participate in the forum. But I'm a devoted reader of it. Today, I put this message to get an advice from you about the problem I have with my NACD 3.5. I bought it about two years ago, as demo model. It...
Ok, here's my situation: Because of the configuration of my room, I must locate my equipment on the wall perpendicular to my new SBL's (they will be here soon--very excited). Unfortunately a large entryway to another room sits between my system and...
hi,just a short update on my active system. i installed it last wednesday. it is obviously not yet fully warmed up but there is a very powerful aspect of the system that is beginning to surface already - and quite emphatically -- INTIMACY. lots of it....
Hi,Are the swing trays in the CD 3.5 and CDX the same?If so, is it possible to tighten/adjust the tray action in the CD 3.5 so it feels the same as a CDX?I find the tray in the CDX has a more solid feel; it take more effort to swing it in and out,...
Any opinions about the Ortofon SPU-100 and how it compares to the Audio Note AN-S3?Is the SPU-100 a good match for a Helikon?Ortofon recommends a cart between 0.2 - 0.4 mV output but I think the Helikon has an output of 0.5mV
Is Linn introducing a new Lingo?Jay
Can anyone please give me information on the above options for a TT with my 52. The is a significant price difference between them but how are the sonic benefits? Are there any other alternatives that are better?ThanksJohn
I had a friend over on Saturday, and we spent at least 4 hours spinning tunes. We played a wide variety of material, including folk, jazz, classical, dance, rock, etc. After all of this my friend, who has heard my system many times before, commented...
Who knows the Version-history of SBL:How old ist the latest SBL-version with all the improvements like new cabinet-maunfacturer, new stand-tubing, new bass-driver and updated PAXO?When was the last change/update and how can I identify?Thank you, Jun
I've never heard any of the various popular Lowther speaker/cabinet combinations that are out there(Medallion, Hedlund, etc.)Is Anyone familiar with these, and has heard them connected to Naim or at least something more substantial than the 3-watt DIY...
I am very curious about the option of buying a turntable. I have not listened to one for over 10 years but based on a lot of the posts here many people claim the mighty CDSs are humbled by modest turntables. It seems most people have LP12s but are...
I used to own a pair of Kan IIs a long time ago but sold them when I got into tubes. After reading all the posts about Kans and Kan competitors, I have one question. If you disregard *all* aspects of a speaker except PRaT, are there any speakers out...
Can somebody straighten this out for me. In my continuing search for a reasonably priced 110 or 140 in Canada, I called Dimexs ( Cdn Distrib. )I started to ask about recapping / conversions. I was under the impression that the 110 and 140 were closely...
As many of you know, I have been flirting with the idea of moving away from my Spectral gear to a full Naim system with my Dynaudio 1.8's, as I was very impressed with my CD5/Highcap and headline. I finally had a chance to compare both Naim and...
To those of you who have Armageddons:What are the pros and cons?There doesn't seem to be much info avaialable about how this thing connects to the TT which it powers...How long can the cable be?Do you have to leave it on all the time, and if so how do...
