I would like to use Nap 140 with one passive preamp. When i am turning on my Nap 140 witout Nac 72, than there is a loud noise from the loudspeakers and Nap 140 is not switching in "normal" modus. What should i do if i want to use Nap 140 with passive...

I am in the process of considering the use of a Naim tuner now that my favorite local FM station has just added the great Vin Scelsa to it's stellar lineup. (WFUV 90.7 @ New York) I live about an hour north of NY in the hills of the burbs and...

Just thought that I would share my pleasant surprise.After having recently moved to Holland I finally got round to setting up my IBL's properly at the weekend. My old listening room was fairly small, about 15 feet by 12 feet. The new room is about 30...

I know there is already a Bristol thread, but Rico took a load of excellent pictures and the link is buried deep in the thread so people may miss it.Credo replacement - the VivoNew Naim Rack (the Anarack?)The Anarack in blackThe Big One!If you want to...

Naim stuff has an excellent reputation. Excellent reviews everywhere - in magazines, on the Web, in newsgroups. All right.But my critical sense has always been very strong, and I was (for fun) desperately looking for disappointed Naim users on the...

At the Bristol show my wife bought me an RDC SPP platform for £90. This has a spiral of damping compound in a spiral cut into the underneath and four cones of the same material supporting it. The platform is made by Clearlight Audio and I got it...

If you hardly have any furniture in your listening room and suffer from too much reverberation, try hanging strips of fabric on your ceiling. I got myself some Lenda from Ikea, a fairly thick cotton fabric at about 20 quid for 5 m, and cut it into...

I would like to say that I have found the NANA guys to be some of the most helpful support people it has been my pleasure to deal with in over 25 years of buying HiFi equipment.Keep up the good work guys.regardsKen

....using a Hi-CAP to power those large flourescent-like "Naim" display lights - a great way of reducing flicker!!!! I was wondering what those Hi-CAPs were doing on the floor - until Jonathan Gorse [correction: Steve Dempster] pointed it out. Did anyone spot this? Nice one Naim!

Hi I am very disorganised.Despite a rapid expansion in my little green boxes from nought last yr after returning to the UK --I've only just contacted the AA who already insure the contents of my flat.My system is...

To the Naim Forumfrom: graphomanI tried to double cable length, using 10m instead of 5mof NACA5 between the sbl and NAP250. It seemed to help –to some extent but then I felt it was “slowing down”the sound. So I stick to the 5m...

In an idle moment i was wondering what volume control position people found was their "norm" Not very scientific, I know, but with my 250, NACA5 and Ruark Tali2's mines about 9 o'clock. Does a megga system ie 500+DBL's mean people listen lower or...

After some lengthy searching and listening, I ended up buying a pair of Vienna Acoustics Bachs. I initially had misgivings about their "warmth," but those concerns were misplaced. They reveal what the electronics are doing, so my initial introduction...

Hi,In this forum, I've often read the term "flat-earth". The significance of this remains a total mystery to me. Does any good soul want to explain me the meaning and the way it is used in Hifi-World ?Many thanks.Bernard

Hi,To make it clear from the beginning : I also suffer somewhat from upgraditis, like most of other users of this forum. The only reason I am not yet owner of, say, cds2/nac82/nap500/DBL is that I just haven’t got the money. Still, I could have...

Can someone tell me if its the 1st of April when Naim change their prices? On past form, what would you reckon the price of a NAP 250 would become (currently £1805)?I'm going to make another purchasing decision next month, which will rely on a...

My current system is cdx/82/180/es22. I am considering adding a super to the 82. What kind of quantitative improvements can i expect from it? Is the cdx good enough for it? Thanks in advance.RegardsLaxton

Curious having posted to the 'what volume level do you listen at' thread.What sort of vol position do Naim amps start audibly or even inaudibly clipping? Can you drive them at 5 o'clock cleanly or not?Jonathan(Who would rather ask than have an...

I have recently purchased a Moth record cleaning machine in kit form, and whilst most of seems straight forward there are no real diagrams as to how the internal bit's marry together. Has anyone out there built one of these? I have seen the pics on...

I am feelin rather low tonight. I am trying to get my Dynaudio 1.8's to perform optimally in my very difficult living room which is bright by construction (Plaster, Concrete and Cinder-Block). To make matters worse, the walls are also reflective with...

You're not going to believe this.I've recently replaced the floor under my equipment racks with new wood and now that its all working again I was trying to decide on a floor covering. I decided to just use a paint finish. I had a look around my garage...

HiWith my S/H ARO there was an Ortofon stylus scale ?is this original kitI've been given advice(by a dealer) that they(stylus scales that is) under read and I should set my Troika at 1.9g to get 1.7g--is this rubbish?The troika doesn't track well at...

Its been over a year since the NAP500 was introduced. When I first heard the 500 in Seattle I asked Chris K about the 52. Although he had no concrete information he felt that possibly within two years the 52 would be superseded by a new "500 series...

Hi All,The last thing I want to do is start another stand debate, so all I'm asking is does anyone else use Ash Design stands, as I recently obtained a 5 tier rack second hand, which I'm very happy with.I don't recall them getting a mention here since...
