Hi, Another stupid question.I have a pair of Credo with the crossover fited inside. I know there is an upgrade crossover. But i can buy a SBL crossover for cheap.Is it possible, a good idea to try a SBL crossover on my Credo or is it another of stupid...

Does anybody know how the IXO active cross-over works. Does it put one stereo amp on the tweeters and one on the woofers, or does it put one amp on each channel. Can you use differant amps with teh IXO (such as a 250 and a 180)? Can you adjust level...

Okay, here goes......Let me first say that, from browsing previous topics, I just know there's going to be a load of people shouting "Get Mana......". The only trouble is, Mana is expensive, and I don't have the budget to buy their stuff now - and I...

Dear Naim -I suggest using this thread to tell us a bit about the Moderators. What do they do for Naim? How long have they been with Naim? What systems are they running at home? What other hobbies/interests do they have? What is their blood type?All...

I've got a pair of Royd Squires to use with my home theatre setup. I was unpacking them this morning, and the instructions indicated that I should fill them with 3Kg of sand, or some material of similar volume. The old forum had a bunch of messages...

Due to the lady in my life liking my Nait 2 so much that she doesn't want to go back to her Sherwood amp (and who can blame her), I have been tasked to find her one for around £150 or less. She likes it because it's 'cute, compact and sounds...

I think Vuc said it in a one of the endless argueswhich is better - and he was right.Arye

Hi there,I've got a 72 / 140 / FlatCap and last night afterabout 4 hours of playing at half volume, my 140 turned itself off. Touching the lid, it was very hot and would not go back on. I opened the box up and could feel the heat coming out of it,...

hi folks, you will recall that i had promised to report on the comparison between isoblue and quadraspire in my home. unfortunately, at the time the isoblue was installed, quite a few things went wrong so it wasnt possible to compare properly. right...

Hi!I´m, soon about to visit friends who lives close to Kendal in Cumbria in the UK. Can anyone give me some names of good Naim dealers in the "neighbourhood"?I will try to finds some second hand stuff, as the second hand market here in Sweden is...

I friend of mine loaned me his SBL's last week for a quick comparison to my current boxes, some proac tablette 2000 sigs. The SBL's better the proacs in almost every way. In fact, I now feel that i cannot live without the incredible bass and treble...

A lot of us old-time analogue nuts remember when you could find a cartridge at every price point from as little as $50 to well beyond $5,000. Not every cartridge was good or even good value but at least you had lots of choice. But not any more. The...

Hi All,Have been lurking the boards and must say thanks for all the information, it's been a great read.Well I've finally gone and done it. I've bought my first hi-fi system and I'm happy to say Naim is part of it.System as follows:Naim Nait 5Arcam...

Does SACD sound better than CD? Any first hand experience to share?Reading a website recently it stated that SACD records 1-bit samples at 2.8MHz. CD records 16-bit samples at 44.1kHz. By my calculations this means that the sample values of CD can...

Hi guys, been lurking for some time but first post today:I’ve been using Naim gear since I got a 12s/SNAPS/160(all bolt case) over 20 years ago – now have 72/hi-cap/250/SBL with CDI and LP12/Lingo/ARO/Klyde front ends.The system is...

I just (and I mean just) took delivery of a vintage 250. I have a four-shelf rack by Solidsteel--mdf on tiptoes, on a metal frame.Prior arrangement was Hicap/140 on bottom, Nak DR2 on second, 32-5, on tiptoes, on third, CD3 on fourth, turntable on a...

Hi All,I had always had my equipment on it's rack in the following order (top to bottom) LP12 on wall shelf, CDX/82/Hi/140 with the Lingo and NAPSC sitting away from the rest of the equipment. I hadn't really considered changing things round as I...

I am looking forward to seeing/hearing the Fraim (hopefully in June) and now have it under serious consideration. However I have some questions so I thought I would start a new thread as the other was getting rather long:- How does an LP12 perform on...

there was a subject about changing brightnesson keys on 82. is there any way to change thebrightness of na logo on any other equipment?

Picked up a SH planar2/Nait2/Kan1 as 2nd system to my 52/4pack/SBL. Find the left channel inaudible at background listening levels (but fine at higher levels. Is this a characteristic of the Nait2 or is there a problem.PS Suprised at how good it sounds

First off I apologize for the length of this query, as I fear it may go on a bit. Yesterday my dealer fitted my long awaited CONN 401/E cable to my Lingo. I brought the deck home & tried it out.... WOW, an instant improvement over the previous lead. Much more dynamic, inner detail & surface noise has all but disappeared. At this stage I was a very happy bunny. I then tried a CD to see if I could hear any improvement there. This did not sound quite as good as I remembered, this I put down to...
