Hi-Fi Corner
In a 12 by 23 room firing down the room, what might the optimal distance be. If I pull the speakers way out into the room (60"), so that I sit slightly further back from the speakers than they are apart, the music lacks input and sounds a bit thin....
My 52 arrived today. Cold, out of the box it sounds great, far better than my 102 (which I always thought to this point was pretty good). The difference is quite staggering. I am amazed. The 52 really sounds like music.A question though. The locking...
sorry not really worth a new thread. am i dreaming, or did i see some "how to" instructions of this forum on soldering naim speaker plugs correctly. can someone point me to a URL?? many thanks...enjoy...ken
Got the above amp second hand.Sounds good, but buzzing a bit.Anyone know if you can get a cicuit diagram on the web for it?Cheers!Wal
Even in the focussed world of "Naim's bloody excellent", is it just me or is there too much hype and, more to the point, TOO MUCH CHOICE with hi-fi gear and gizmos?There seems to be too much of "this works well with that" and "don't buy that" and...
Hello,I've had the 82 for more than a year and up till now, i've not really tried listening to it at insane volumes. My volume pot has never had the need to make its way past 11 o'clock for comfortable(loud!) listening. Just today, i had some...
ChapsBefore I start, this thread was inadvertly posted under another thread, so my apologies to Dev,who may be wondering whats going on.My question is about speakers.You may recall, a few months ago, Vuk had his system Mana-ed (how could we forget)and...
I am on the verge of switching from my Arkiv (lINN tt, eKOS, Lingo, Linto) to a Lyra. I have rather poor eye-hand coordination and sight in one eye. Sometimes I mess-up on the cueing and the arm goes dancing across and hits the spindle. I have never...
The Super-Cap arrived at my office today! Of course I couldn't wait to take it home, so I hooked it up into my office system just to get a taste of the action. The resulting configuration was a Cambridge CD6, 32.5, Super-Cap, 110, and Royd Merlin...
Why to the Dynaudio Contour 1.8's sound more dynamic and much better PRAT wehn not toed in?Jay
My Prefix Hicaps gone kaput and I want to check if the Prefix has gone too. Anyone know which 52 / Supercap sockets will power the Prefix (I've lost the manual). I s there a risk of damaging the 52 if the Prefix is the culprit?????
I've ordered naca5 in white to exchange for the black naca5 I've got now.My dealer said that Naim is having problems with the firm who makes these cables.Is that true, because I've been waiting for 4 weeks now.Greetings,Rob.
I'm trying to make an intelligent decision. I have a Garrard 401 in a solid plinth, on 15mm carbon fibre feet, on a 10mm glass shelf, on 6 sorbothane buds, on an Ash design stand.So far the most spectacular change I ever made with the support was to...
Is the helikon worthy of twice the price of the Beta?Jay
I changed my first name to Paul.Can I find a job in Naim ? or at least, can I be a moderator ?PG
Most of you will think this a waste of time, but due to my interest in audio history and culture, I've acquired (very cheaply) a long run of old Absolute Sounds. While the magazine has a strong point in taking note of the importance of pressings of...
Has this match worked?Jay
Just pondering on how naim will approach the av2. Will this be a digital device that decodes an AC3 and dts signal, or will it be an analog unit that has a 5.1 channel input? An analog input would require the use of a dvd player that has onboard...
I read somewhere here that in some system applications Naim customers in the US have used graphic equalisers in a Naim system. Also didn't Cello (Levinsons previous brand) have something called a pallette or something. Does anyone know more about the...
hi: anyone done business with these guys in shrewsbury? what are they like? any views greatly appreciated -- this friend of mine who lives in shrewsbury is threatening to spend seriously on some big naim boxes... and he has asked me about one or 2...

I'm now a happy Naim owner. Yesterday I setup my first Naims, a used 72/140 combo. It sounds so great and I find it a definite upgrade from my old Arcam 290+290P. Being a newbie to both Naim and this forum, I need some advices on the way connecting my...
In a previous naimless lifetime I obtained a free sample of this lightweight but stiff fibreboard from Mantecore (RIP). Anybody know where I can source some more of this board ?thanks.Peter... a bit later ...I've found from searching the web that it's...
