I've recently purchased a used NAXO to activate my system. Is there a NAXO to SNAXO factory mod? Im not much bothered about the S/C connector, but component wise as the NAXO is a 1994 vintage.

i've created neat naim-site. i've tried to add some new informations rather copying them from other naim sites, or at least provide nice visual form (product histories). there is also chance to see some vintage naim boxes.please give me feedback, how...
I recently upgraded the amp in my bedroom system from an Arcam Alpha 1 to a used 32.5/110 combination (a vast improvement and a bargain at 250 quid). Currently I'm using a Chord Cobra 5pin-DIN to 2 RCA cable to connect my Micromega CD player to the...
Has anyone seen Michael Fremer's review of Stageline in this month's Stereophole?My girlfriend just called from Arizona in a very excited state because she just got her copy (I live in California and seem to get mine after everyone else). Anyway, he...
The monitor bank mono switch on my 82 is always 'half on', even when it isn't engaged. To begin with (around february) it was very faint, but it seems to be getting brighter as time passes, albeit slowly. I haven't noticed any deterioration in sound...

I need to re-solder my naim speaker cable to the speaker plug. Is there a special kind of solder to use? Thanks, david.
Since I last posted I decided to turn my attention to my listening room rather than to my equipment or what it sits on. System refresher: Uncirkused, Lingo LP12/Ittok/DV20X; CDX/CDPS; 82/2HiCaps; 2 250s; B&W 805s on Granite stands (I like em and don't care what the rest of you think). CT4.1 to speakers/Chord Cobra CD interconnect/Grahams "Hydra" (Naim) power cord/all other Naim cabling. Sits on old Sound Org tables with Base platform under the lot. As I have said elsewhere I listen (at least...
according to information on the naim web site "The bass alignment has been chosen to allow the speakers to be used either against a wall or out in the room, depending on the listener’s preferences and room acoustics. "so, will this be the first...
The Naim forum is accessible again at Morgan Stanley. Looking forward to reading all the threads I haven't had time for at home.--Eric

lets spend a few postings helping each to design a poll that seeks views on the future of stereo as we know it today, in particular, listening to 2 speakers (maybe 3 with sub) in a non-shared (i.e single room rather than multiroom) environment. also...
My system at present consists of CDS/CDPS/LINN LP12+LINGO/EKOS/TROIKA/NAC52/2xNAP135s/LINN ISOBARIKS connected with NAIM A5 cable.I am in the process of having the CD player head unit upgraded to CDSII and the 135's serviced by Naim.Will be...
As a follow-up to what Ron the Mon wrote in a past thread about upgrading the Kan1/2 with the new Ninka / Katan tweeter. He has done this. I e-mailed Linn about this looking for a bit of info. The following is what they replied with.Can I fit the new...
Not only did I change cartridges, but I got rid of the trampolinn. My Linn (Ekos, Lingo, Linto) sounds completely different now. By comparison the Linn before the changes sounded downright laid-back and undynamic but had more depth (maybe due to its...
Anyone tried bi amping with a 62/90(x2). I am considering it to allow bi wiring to my speakers. System is Linn Karik 3, Snaps, 62/90, Tannoy R3.Any suggestions? Milan
Currently I own a nait5 integrated. I'm considering buying a FlatcapII to power the preamp. An other possibility will be to trade in the nait5 and to buy a Nac112 preamp and a Nap150 power amp. What will sound better the nait5+flatcapII or a Nac112...
On Saturday morning my bank account transformed from a paragon of strength to a wimp courtesy of my finally buying (or more accurately, paying for)DBLs. To enhance the Mike Tyson-like left hook on the account's health Rosewood finish was...

Looks like I've just aquired a 32.5 & 110 to replace the Arcam Alpha 5+ in my bedroom system but I've got a couple of questions: 1) How is the 32.5/110 likely to compare with my current 92R/90.3 setup when used with my Credos? 2) Is my SNAPS usable with the 32.5? 3) Any advice on small, reasonably cheap (sub 300 new or used) "Naim friendly" speakers to replace the Mission 731LE's in my bedroom system? The system already has a pretty good CD player (Micromega Leader II) in it. Cheers Steve
