I have one of these new houses on an estate where you are not allowed to put aerials on the roof (its in the covenant although people can put sky dishes up). I live in Kingston (Surrey) and there is an aerial (it appears to have an amplifier stage...

I have my B+W CDM1 Se speakers on Atacama 724 stands, filled with about 12kg of sand.I'm wondering if an open frame stand might be a better choice ? I'll have a spare amp soon for TV/Movie sound so if I'll need some stands for that TV/Movie system...

Over the last few weeks I have noticed that the number of interesting posts has dropped through the floor! Is it just me who thinks this?

So, I just plugged in my recently purchased, used setup (72, Hi-cap, 250) and am getting a ton of static-sounding noise from my amp. I noticed it when I turned on the amp for the first time, after I connected the speakers, but before I had connected...

1) I am currently using a grado Headphone amp and Grado RS-1's. How does the headline amp compare?2) I am currently using a highcap to power my naim CD 5. Would the CD 5 suffer markedly if I used the high-cap to power the headline? Are their better...

I noticed whilst tinkering with my hifi that my Naim CD player has hard feet whilst my Naim amps have soft feet. Assuming that this is intentional (would be pretty surprised if it wasn't) does this give some clue as to the kind of mounting these...

I tried 4 integrateds this weekend. Myryad MI120, Audio Analogue Pucinni Remote, Linn Majik and Nait 5. Impossible to know where they stand compared with the home system, but I haven't been dissapointed when listening to the demo discs back home. What...

Many thanks to everyone who replied to my previous request about upgrading. I haven't actually done anything yet, but I now have something in mind which I would like to share with you. To recap: I currently have an LP12/EkosII/Klyde (this I will be...

Since Naim has let on that they have an A/V preamp coming out in the near future, does anyone have any idea on the specs?Is it an add on to a current pre or is it a stand alone? Is it a complete conversion to 5.1 surround sound or what?Paul and Paul...

Having been amazed by the help given about what t o buy, I am now slightly worried about the set up problems I may face - I am moving out to Spain soon, and will have to get everything going on my own..So, what are the basic rules ?I am going to...

Just a thought - how much have you spent on your equipment, and how much on your music collection ?I will have to think about this before I state my position, but it interests me..!What do you think ?Steve

Hi,My LP12 is in for a service, and whilst there I've had the Troika sent away to be checked. My suspicions are confirmed, and the cartridge is past it's best. I've now got to decide what to do. My options appear to be:1.Linn rebuild2.Expert Stylus...

What do you guys consider to be the best product that naim either currently make or have made? Please don't just opt for the Nap 500, think about how representative the product is of the brand, VFM, cultishness etc. I am going to plump for the Sbl!...

My system is rather unbalanced (CD3/32.5/HI/250/Sbl) and its present installation may sound a nightmare for Naim Audio since I got not more than 30-30 cm free wall space near the short corners of my 5.6x4m room. Sbls are stuffed into those holes with...

Has anyone had experience in "going active" with a pair of Ruark Equinox's?The problem I can see is the crossover is in the base of the speakers, and the base is conected by an umbilicle cord to the speakers. Is there a way of going active with these ...
Top CatPosted: 20 March 2001Last Updated: 22 March 2001
Last night I finally hooked up an external PSU onto my headphone stage, everything at Phase 6 Mana. The sound of the LP12 playing a decently mastered LP through the HD600s was nothing short of phenomenal.Thing is, even though I am happy with my new...

I have been a good boy and replaced my speaker cable from cable chord flatline to Naim NACA5 as recommended by Naim and the forum members.The speaker cable goes between my Naim 82/Hi-cap/180 and my Ruark Equinox speakers being fed by a Naim...
