Hi-Fi Corner

Hi!I have just received an offer for a pair of SBL's. Serial number 105xxx for 1000 Euro! I think that's a very good price. Now I have a pair of Intro's, which suit my room pretty good. The sound can be too harsh sometimes, but I think the blame here...

End of May I have a business trip to Montreal. I would like to take this chance to get some LPs. Can any of our Canadian colleagues give me some info, such as addresses of shops (new or good quality second hand)?Thanks a lot for your help!Urs

My system is at the moment Linn LP12/Rega RB300(I think)/Klyde cartridge. The arm & cart are new & the LP12 serviced. Arcam Alpha CD (Recently returned from Arcam sounding much better) Naim 35.5/110 (probably Snapped soon) Rega EL8 I'm looking to spend in total about £1200 over the year to upgrade. The record deck sounds better than my CD and I'd like to tackle that. Also the Regas are a bit bass light, undetailed and polite compared to my Studio TB-2's. I don't want to have another...

Please answer the following questions? If CDX = 50 & CDX + XPS = 100 CDX + CDPS = ? If Vinyl is King, Who's Queen?

Wondered how long it would take Rega to figure out this Net thing.Several years, apparently, but they finally have.Joe

Here's a reasonable home-made Naim icon for your desktop shortcut to the Naim conference site!Regards Henry

Hi folks,I was surfing on the net,when I suddenly came across a speaker manufacturer website, CURA.Has any of you ever listened to these speakers?The entry-level CA-5 has a lot in common with thefamous early Linn Kan's. (well, it seems)They're the...

I'm having some problems with my 92R/90.3 at the moment - one of the amp channels appears not to have any appreciable gain. I think one of the channels on the power-amp is blown but it could also be a cable problem (unlikely as I'm getting sound on...

Hello everyone!After 15 years of cd and radio listening I'm back for vinyl. Reading the topics in the forum my understanding is that the lp 12 is the matching record player to naim gear. In the moment I am bidding at ebay for an lp 12 with Ittok LV II...

I have had a sick computer for a couple of weeks. a few upgrades later, and hopefully to the hi-fi as well soon, I'm back.My next upgrade will be:1)Another B300 to biamp, using one for each channel, almost as though they were monoblocks as I could do...

Does anyone have experience with Kuzma turntables, especially the Kuzma Reference? Any feedback, including system context, would be appreciated.

Does anyone out there know if there's an easy adjustment for the brightness of the illuminated source buttons on the NAC82?Mine are so dim that on a bright day I can't tell if I've hit the Mono button by mistake or not.(It's only the source buttons -...

Are there any reprints of this mag available on the internet or otherwise? I've read loads about it, but I was a little young when it was a going concern!

In order to receive more stations, is it ok to use two aerials fed into one co-ax, or does this set up cause problems? Tony

Does Naim have any plans to replace the SBL? I have SBLs and love them. The next jump up in product is a way out of my league. If the SBL could be improved I would probably be interested.Why doesn't Naim make a scaled down 52 to make it more...

I have cd3 + 72 + 140 + Rega Xel What should i upgrade to ?

I am using Ortofon MC 20 II with 82/180/2hicap. The cartridge has very low output so . in order to have a sound level I like, I need to turn the volume up to 3 'o clock or more. Will this be any harm to my amp. What's the limit ? Can I turn the...

OK, I've seen so much stuff about the 32.5 with 72 boards that I have to ask. Is the 32.5 that much better than a Nait3? Would a 32.5 and, say, a used 140 be a *lot* better? I currently have a pair of Credos on the end of my Nait and, on a good day,...

To all of you out thereI think I suffered from a premature posting frenzyMost of my questions have been answered by other topicsPerhaps from now on I'll read first, post later -but all the time I'm reading I'm not listening!

Hi all, last night after moving my speakers, I played a CD called EMI Audio test disc, I think, to check all was well. There are a few tracks on this CD that are basically clicks, ie full left, left, centre and so on. Bizarrely, I get only one click...

I happened to be visiting one of my two favourite HiFi dealers - John Roberts at Midland Audio Exchange in Kidderminster (to look at Pagode racks) and he was doing a demo for himself of the new Krell Integrated KAV 300 iL (£3690). It was fed by...
