I view of recent events, I have decided that I must upgrade my cat. Anybody know which ones are least likely to leap onto the turntable?

BADA have made the recent interview that appeared in the British Audio Journal, between Ivor Tiefenbrun and Malcolm Steward, available from their website.It's in Adobe PDF format, so you'll need the Acrobat reader if you don't already have it,...

BobI have been trying to contact you via E mail, ref Hutters, without success.Could you have a go at contacting me.ThanksMick

We have cats who are now jumpers up to my wall mounted shelf (we tried evrything they won't stop), when the dust vover is slosed. Will the cats jumping on/off the TT cause it to loose its setup. Am I better with an un-prund TT? (Linn, Trampolinn,...

Has anybody have any experience with this equipment? I've heard two different thoughts on these. Very good and very bad. What up??

I am being offered a pair of ARCs second-hand (or 'pre-owned' 'second-user' as the guff seems to be these days). The seller got them s/h himself and has no idea how old they are! I've emailed Shahinian with the hope of some advice but is there any way...

I've just read the review for the Reference series (Nos. 30.6 DAC, 31.5 CD transport, 32 preamp and the 33H power amps) in Hifi+. Anyone heard them and pitted it up against a 52/500 combo? The review is glowing and the looks impressive but the price...

To Naim et al.,Because I've been waiting so long (5 weeks) for my 5 mtr. runs of WHITE NAC A5 I got them for free from my dealer !A better deal than Mr.Pig paid for his ten year old 250 (very sick joke).Mr. Pig:send the unit to Naim and let it fixed ...

Recently I've bought a Nait5 integrated. I am wondering if it's possible to biamp with a Nap150.

I'm intrigued by all of these comments on dedicated grounds for your stereo.In North America, the house ground is used only when there is a fault, and the current flows to ground as a safety measure. There is never any current flowing to ground in a...

I have some old stylie 135s and they probably need a service - does anyone know whether you can pay Naim to upgrade them to new style cases? I'm not expecting a wonderful audio upgrade, just some aesthetic improvement.

Are the foam grilles on SBL's (and other Naim speakers) part of the design parameters for optimum performance, or are they designed to be optional in use. I have tried listening to them with grilles on and off, and I am not sure whether I am imagining...

ChapsI want to install a dedicated spur and also it appears that spiked earthing (whatever that is) is also recommended.I intend to ask a few electrictians to quote for doing this job and to prevent myself from looking like a total idiot, I want to be...

you will recall quite some time ago i had some interesting results using audiophile bases together with my QS for my cd2 and nac52.now with the isoblue, things have changed somewhat. i did try to put a base on the top isoblue shelf and then my cd2 on...

Several weeks ago I asked how to spend £5 - £7,000 and got loads of great advice...Thanks !Yesterday, I went to Grahams, in London, and heard what I could get, and came away amazed !Looks like a CDX, 102/180, flatcap, and a pair of B and W...

I am using a pair of Ruark equinox's on the end of my CDX,82/Hicap/180 and I was wondering what you would recomend is the best power amp to run the Equinox's.

hi folks,tomorrow morning i am off to infidelity to dem my cd2 vs the mighty cdsii (foregone conclusion, right??? but i am looking for other things...)while there i will check on status of my lp12 -- and if there is time, i might actually listen to a...

Innovative Audio would like to thank everyone who stopped by our Naim suite to visit with Chris Koster and Doug Graham, as well as to see and hear the full Series 5 system including the new Naim loudspeakers and the Naim equipment racks. We really...

There is a very interesting article in the muso mag Sound on Sound this month(june 2001)On the recordings and techniques of The Naim Label. Well worth a lookSteve

When placed straight ahead, PRAT is much better, but images are slightly less precice and a bit "cooler" with less glare. Bass is leaner and MUCH faster. More mid-range presence when toed and bass much fatter/richer (slower). What might explain these...

I've noticed a surprising lack (inasmuch as one can notice something that isn't there) of discussion about the name of the new naim - 'allae' (see main site news page).Course I'm probably looking in the wrong place and it's probably all been sorted...

There were two main changes in case design in '80 and in '89. As I understand in '89 olive case with green logo was introduced, but what is the difference between pre-80 and past-80 cases? I know that there was case with green button with little bulb...

Hi all.Ok, so I've decided on the Intro II to partner my 32.5/110 Linn LP12. I still have my original Arcam CD player (recently fixed and upgraded by Arcam). I listened to the Intros at the shop using both my Arcam and the CD 5. The CD 5 was superior...
