Hi-Fi Corner

I have it on the very best authority that the Post Office has been developing a hi-fi rack, in total secrecy, for many years.Its project title is "parrystand" but it will be sold as "ParryStalsis".It will satisfy everybody. It is made from recycled...

Hi folks.I'm currently working on a forum for business users, written in COM/ASP and with a SQL Server backend.As a regular user on this forum, I've picked up a lot of ideas for my own forum, but would like to basically borrow a minute of your time to...

Any opinions ?

!) Which is better Naim series 5 Tuner or Linn Tuner? The new Linn tuner is about $300 cheaper. Is it worth the extra for the Naim series 5 tuner?2) Can I stack the Series 5 tuner or the Linn tuner on top of my Naim CD 5 CDP?Jay Fischer

Tried these fresh out of the box. Unbelievable from this brand! Tuneful, dynamic, fast, rich, punchy in the bass. Perfect on the end of CDX/ Densen B200/300. I'll try them on the end of '82/'250 sometime next week. As they run in they should get even...

It may be hard to get a good tuner into my apartment as I can't stick it out the window and I don't have a balcont. What about cable FM reception?Jay Fischer

I live in an area with EXTREME multipath problems, being between the Booklyn and Manhattan bridges. My apartment complex does not permit an antennae and I am limmited to the kind of ribbon antennae that attaches to the tuner and hangs down. Is it even...

Being a twit, I didn't read the instructions, and removed the transit bolts from the CDSII underside with the unit upside-down (this was always ok with the CDSI). It made a bit of a clunk, and now the suspension seems to grate if bounced even a mm or...

My current sytem has both Naim and Non-naim gear. My Naim componenst are a CD5, Highcap and Naim Headline/entry level power supply.I have two options.Option 1:Plug the Naim CD 5, Highcap and headline into the wall. Spectral amp/pre-amp plugged into...

Hi all:My current system is Armageddon/LP12/ARO/DV XV-1/102/NAPSC/HiCap/250/A5/Credos.I'm considering an upgrade and as I'm a vinyl only user the logical step would be a Prefix/*Cap. However, the RF issues of the Prefix scare me a bit. Another option...

I eventually got my seconhand Planar 3 home last night just in time to plug it in and play one record. I have no idea how its meant to sound but it was so different to my CD player that i think need alot of help. It is plugged into my Nait 3 and some...

...any pointers to how much a secondhand Nait 2 is worth? What speakers would work well with it?It's for a second system.John

I don't know if anyone has ever used this stuff before, but having read of excellent results from people whose opinion I trust, and the fact that the main point about this solution is that it is designed to clean and not leave any residue (the reason...

I am currently running my CD5 with a highcap. However, I have heard so much about the Flatcap 2 CD5 pairing that I am really questioning is the Highcap significantly better than the flatcap 2?Jay

At the risk of losing my flat earth points, I used the demagnetization track on the Cardas Sweeper lp last night, and it made a huge difference to my ears. I hope I'm not hearing things (actually, all that matters is that I'm happier with the sound)....

hi,My rack is made of MDF-shelves and steel-ropeand is hanging from the ceiling.Makes big impovements in bass-control and coasts peanuts.The third shelve is waiting for a Hicap.any comments?Regards,Wolfgang

Please email me if you bought a Quadraspire rack from me in January.ThanksTimo

Hi folks. I was following with interest the other thread about demagnetism CDs, and I followed the link and ended up coming across this beastie - sounds just too bizarre a claim to be anything but true, but still...Can anyone shed any light on...

Anyone know if there is a website (?) for used Naim gear for sale in Canada/USA? (I just put in an order for a 52 so will have my 102 up for sale shortly.)My apologies if I have broken the forum rules by mentioning this.Paul

Hi Uwe,Can't seem to get e-mails through to you - is your server playing up?Regards,Steve

About two months ago i decided to replace my standard ac outlet (socket) with an off the shelf MK Logic unswitched from B&Q ~ £7. I only managed about 1 weeks listening after about 3 weeks settle in, but from initial power-up, there was a marked improvement in the lower frequencies, deeper more forceful bass, and generally just more solidity to everything (made my pre-system sound quite thin in comparison). My system is still warming up after a months switch off, but i was wondering if...

This would enable me to re-position the Linto and Lingo to lower shelves in the racks. As things stand now, I have had to place my pre-amp and CDP lower than is really convenient, in order to accomodate the Lingo/Linto. This means I have to bend down...

I couldn't find a price list on the Naim site, I thought it would be useful when weighing up the options for upgrading. So, (according to Audio Excellence at least) the current retails prices are:Naim CDX CD Player - £2,335.00Naim CD3-5 CD...

Hi people.I was just curious about how other people actually listen to their music, i.e. how far do you prefer to sit from the speakers, how wide apart should they be, are you fussy about how well you orientate your head relative to the speakers, do...

First off, i'm skint so it has to be a cheap solution, but does anyone have any suggestions for fixing the hi-fi to a wall? I've already done this, but with Wickes own-brand brackets; you know, the sort of thing that they use in shops, where a U...
