Hi-Fi Corner

My present system consists of: CD3.5/flatcap, 92/flatcap, 90 and a pair of Linn Kans.I've been offered an IXO crossover and a further 90 at a very reasonable price. My question is; what speakers are possibles for audition?My Kans are great, are there...

Can i connect a HiCap to my Nait 3? If so, is it worth it sonically or should I just wait until i go pre/power.Is £400-500 reasonable for a 7 year old hicap.I have read much in the forum about the 'character' of some Naim equipment. Is there a...

. . . are any goodI've trawled a few other fori.Exposure was more pleasurable than I expected.Mana was from Hell.

I just tried to check the Royd website and forum. The Royd website just re-directs to the Exposure site. The Royd forum is not listed (!).Does this mean the worst for the company has happened? A sudden change of Royd's line-up has resonances of what...

I've been running an active DBL system for about a year with 2 *135s on the treble and 250s doing the mid and bass ... with a Hi-Cap on the SNAXO. I was finally in a position to make an upgrade to the system, but didn't know whether to go for a...

Currently MimicII / TD160/Basic+/AT140lc / Nait1 / early Kan1'sI want to upgrade my amp to pre/power. I have a $1K Canadian budget.I have been thinking 32.5 / 110.( I have a lead on a 32.5 with 72 mods for about $400.00 maybe a touch more. )Is this...

I've noticed that using 135s with a SNAXO, that the amps fed by the top row of outputs - that is the channel 1 treble amp and the 2 bass amps, both have the speaker cables plugged in upside down.Could anyone explain to me why this should be.

I am having my TT serviced (Linn, Ekos, Benz L2, Lingo, Linto, original Sound Org Wall shelf. My fllors are concrete and walls are concrete/cinderblock/plaster. There has been some bebate whether or not the Trampolinn is a good thing. My dealer feels...

Just tried to play a cd, and all I could hear was a faint tune behind a very loud pink noise. OH NO! thought I, especially after lastnight's storm. Thankfully though, it was just a loose connection from player into pre-amp socket. I can't blame the...

hi folks,again, not sure this is worth a thread, but here goes...you will recall i mentioned in one of active system reports that my system has become much more revealing. of course, this is a double edged sword.however, i also mentioned that the...

Hi folks,Just got me a demopair of Kan-ll's last week.Together with my Nait-2 and CD-3.5 + f/c they bring a smile on my face and I can't hold stillwhen these babies are swinging.There's only one little thing..."What !?!? nag,nag,nag, why aren't you...

I've just bought NAC 72 with 323 Standard MC phono boards. Right now I'm using NAIT3 with MM. My plan is to upgrade my cardridge from MM to MC. Are there any special requirements for 323S or I can use almost every "standard" MC cardridge?tzk

chapsI have been keeping my eye on the Ebay auction facility over the last few weeks and I was wondering just how reliable it is. I have a spare Leica lense I would be happy to part with and have noticed that "auction fever" tends to push the prices...

It is now a month since I bought my first (but not the last, I´m afraid...) Naim kit; a Nait 5, a CD5 and a FC2. After a week I was frustrated (-"Hmmm, didn´t it sound a lot better in the shop?") BUT then things started to happen and now I...

I have now acquired an original Naim Nait in a bizarre cartridge deal over the weekend. I really have not been getting on well with vinyl lately, and I thought the reason was that I needed a LP12 to match the Kans. I also knew someone who really...

Is resting: topica

I have seen mention in some threads, and a number of s/h adverts, that various kit has been 'recently serviced'. This has included amps/pre-amps etc.I see nothing in my owners manuals or on the Naim sites about this.What should be serviced?How...

Just wanted to say a belated thank you to Doug and Paul for sparing me some time last Friday afternoon. It was quite a revelation looking around the factory and seeing the level of detail that goes into every piece of equipment you produce, especially...

I am trying to convince my Dad that as he doesn't listen to his turntable anymore that I should have it as I am keen to get in on the vinyl scene. The thing is I am relatively inexperienced with them and need some advice. I understand Rega and...

We expect around 200 dealers to have the Fraim in their stores by the end of May, after successful shows in Bristol, Toronto and the forthcoming show in New York its full steam ahead. If our suppliers don't let us down some great sounds will a bound....

I've been very happy with my system since last August, when I added a Karma to mu LP12/ARO/82/hi/hi/250 - so happy, in fact, that I was listening exclusively to LP until very recently.I'm unhappy with CDs. What I don't like is what I hear as...

Since I've lived in this apartment (going on four years), every amp I've had has periodically passed dc to the speakers--grabbing hold of the woofer and making a thump/hum.Amps have included Musical Fidelity A1 and A100, Rotel 20 watt receiver,...

You don't know it, but we have a secret friend who is a great fan of Naim and follows this forum daily.We work at the same company. He listensto classical and jezz music and has a great knowledge at the area.His system is CD3,NAT03, Flat/90/92,...

Just received a call and my hi-cap arrives today. Just about to leave and pick it up. I presume that the burn in time for a new hi-cap is going to be a few weeks ? Any comments on this ?Happy Simon
