Hi-Fi Corner

There seems to be a healthy secondhand market in Naim equipment. Where are the best places to look for used gear in the UK? Any tips?

Hi folks, Well, I got me some Linn Kan's this week to match with my Nait-2 & CD-3.5 + f/c. I'm very pleased with the sound of these babies. At this moment though, I'm still using my Target HR-60 stands for the Kan's. Now, my previous speakers (MA Studio-2se) were sitting on these stands with some blobs of blu-tack. Now, I don't have any left over spikes to go on the top-plate of the stands,and if I would it would look horrible, because the top-plate is smaller but also dieper then the Kan's.

Just did a very detailed comparison between my headline/hicap and the Grado RA1 with my Grado 225 headphones.My system consists of cdx/52/scap/135s/dbls/pxo3. Judging from my system, you can see I am a true naim devotee. I bought my system in 98 and...

Hi,I'm acquiring a SLIC cable to try out my headline with my spare Hi-Cap in my main system. I don't have any decent hadphones at the moment (only some half-decent Beyers which cost around £100 probably ten years ago). So what would the...

Hi,I'm not sure if this has been covered before. I've owned by cdx for about 3 years now and as you might have guessed, the 3 rubber rings on the cd puck is losing its "grip". Softly pinching them can only temporarily restore its shape and last a...

Having 80ies Naim gear in my lounge setup comprising 32.5+Snaps2, 101+Snaps, 140, and a CD player/DAC combo California Audio Labs Delta and Musical Fidelity Digilog (the latter heavily modded), my wife asked whether we should have a CD player visually...

For the last 3 month I upgrated my system - I bought a s/h Hicap to replace my flatcap to run my 72. (The Hicap was belong to Omer who bought a Supercap to run his 82). I bought a s/h QS standand I bought a s/h Nat03.The best improvement of all above...

Ok, I've finally worked out a way to locate my 2 NAPSCs away from the other gear AND hide them from view. There is a large improvement in the sound, no doubt about it. Now then, anyone tried locating the Headline in different positions, or doesn't...

Infidelity helpfully delivered my 52 two days ago and I am quite stunned by just how good it is (with CDS2/LP12/Aro/135s/SBLs).I know it will take a long time to warm up and wonder:1. If I leave the mute button on while playing something (eg when I go...

Naim Audio is not on the list of exhibitors on the Stereophile website for the upcomming NYC show. Who and what will be there, if anything.Thanks!P.S. Does Bruce Degan ever come on the forum or is he computerphobic? Will he be at the show?

Things move fast. Since I joined this forum last Friday I’ve done the following:1. Sold my house, car, yacht, wife, hamster.2. Bought CD12; 52, 2 Supercaps (one to power my new hearing aid); Tri-amped TAG McLaren F1 AvantGardes (quite good...

Well, well, well. One can no longer access the Naim forum from the Morgan Stanley computer network. There goes one of my main ways to kill time. When you load it a screen says the site is blocked because it contains inappropriate materials. The only...

OK - not really, so I won't be ordering a CDS2/52/500/DBL system anytime soon.BUT...I WAS chosen by my boss to be the Lucky Guy to travel to the UK for a month!!! Yup - the ex-Naimee is crossing the pond.Travel dates are June 3 to June 30 and I will...

Dear Naim,Can we have a forum only listening session at the Stereophile show?--Eric

Hey All...With all this hullabaloo about mains quality, dedicated lines, spikes in the ground and such I thought I would ask if anyone has tried using an uninteruptable computer supply to power audio components (of whatever ilk).The latest generation...

I've seen mention of a modification to run a Snaps as a dual rail ps. Can someone tell me (in simple language - it's been a long day ;-) how to check if mine can be converted?Also, is this a mod that Naim do, or is unofficial and requires owner...

Am I dreaming ? I remember reading two big threads on having all the articles from "The Flat Earth" online on some web site, it was yesterday, and I cannot find them any more.regards,Hartmut

Do/should HDCDs sound any better than normal ones on my CDX?Are HDCDs clearly labelled as such?Where can I buy them (in London or mail order)?ThanksAlex

It's not on their profiles?cheersNigel

I would like to see Naim to make a decent sub. Will it ever happen?Self powered of couse with the speed to match properly with Naim speakers.I think amongst Naim users this could be quite a popular product.Views or thoughts?cheersDev B

We all know that our equipment runs better when its kept switched on. I had an interesting experience the other night when I came home from a 4-night trip away. The Naim electronics were left on as usual but the central heating was turned off. I put a...

Hi all. I've been offered a SNAPS for £100. Will it be worth it with my 72 modded 32.5?RegardsStephen Bennett

Hi folks,Finally I've the chance to check out thoseold Kan's. I read a lot about those very special speakers,but never had the chance to listen.Today is my day off,and I talked to a Naim dealer on the phone, who told me he stil had 3 pairs of the old...

I've posted a couple of messages recently about my upgrading exploits and would like to thank the people that replied with advice.The situation as it now stands is that I have an LP12 Lingo/EkosII/Kylde for my main source, a 32.5 and a 180, which I...
