Hi-Fi Corner
Quick question. I know that the FC2 can power two components, so can I use one to power a CD5 and a stageline ? Or better still can I use it to power a prefix and the cd5. I know that a prefix really needs a hi-cap ( or a super cap according to some),...
I am totally new to Naim equipment and would appreciate any advice. I have listened to CD5 Nait 5 with Ruark Prelude speakers and Chord Odyssey cable. Does anyone have any views on this combination. Or suggestions for other speakers/cable that might...

A few days ago I was disconnecting a tape deck from my NAC92. Unfortunately I'd forgotten to switch the NAP140 off so this was met with loads of loud feedback/distortion emanating from the Keilidhs! Since this cock-up the bass soounds a lot less agile...
Today I received the NAPSC and Headline (both one year old) I bought some days ago. I connected the Headline with the NAPSC to my NAC 102 as described. To try them out I used my KOSS Porta Pro headphones, but I have the impression something is not...

Has anyone made this comparison? I can't get to the dealer for several weeks, but I'd be interested in hearing about other people's experiences before I do. I'm planning to upgrade from a Linn LK-1 preamp. Front end is all Linn: LP12/Ekos/Karma and...
hi, I'm new to the list but I'd like people's advice on this. Later this week I should be getting my LP12 Lingo back from my dealer, complete with an EkosII and Klyde. It's the best front-end I've ever had, but I'd like to know what to change next to...
Just a quick question. I suspect I know the answer to this, but roughly how long would one expect a brand new preamplifier or power amplifier to take to 'come on song'?John
I wondered if anyone from Naim wanted to comment on what plans you have for AV processors/amps. I heard tell at Bristol that you soon to be launching an 5.1 amp (or was it a 3.1 processor - 2 different answers from different people). Is this correct,...

When I visited www.zetex.com, supplier of transistors, I realised that some types used in the Naim preamps, like ZTX384, are marked obsolete from end of March 2001 on the site http://www.zetex.com/s46.shtm.Did I mix some things, if not, then I am...
Greetings all - I recently purchased a pre-owned CD 3.5 from a seller on ebay. The unit was packaged in the original carton with all packing materials, and he was the first owner. The platter was locked in place with the screw. The original sealed...
I've purchased a Rega Planar 3 and Dynavector 10x4 mk2 for playing a bit of vinyl now and then. My CDX is still very much the primary source.I've read the recent thread regarding improvements in the 82 when phono cards are removed. Since I'm now in...
Has anyone tryed using a CDS2 as a transport only,if so how did you get a digital output socket fitted, thinking of buying a second hand ML 30.5.
Hi folks.I've got a question for you guys - not really Naim related, sadly, but maybe someone here can give me a rough idea anyway.The question is this: how much to ask for a secondhand Arcam 10 three-channel power amplifier, in mint condition with...
I wonder, if I want to buy an expensive rack, isn't it enough to buy three expensive shelves for the sources (TT & cd player) and the pre only. The other equipment, power supplies and power amp - can't they rest on a cheap rack ? Doesn't the "source first" goes for the racks too ? Arye
I am seeking advice regarding my LP playback.I currently have LP12/Aro/Armageddon/Lyra Lydian Beta/102/Supercap/250/Katans.The Cartridge is not a good match with the current phono boards due to its relatively high output. I use the K boards as these...
GentlemanToday I drove down to Bournemouth to puchase a 3 month old NAT 05 tuner and a 10 month old 6 way Music Works block. Not too bad a deal for £500.The NAT 05 has replaced a NAT 03 which is now in the dining room system and it does sound a...
Is it possible that by removing the phono boards from the 82 that one can experience an improvement in sound. I have heard that this the situation for the 72. Any help in this matter would be appreciated....Cheers for now Matt.
