Hi-Fi Corner

Hi All,I borrowed a 250 today to try with my 72/hi instead of my 140. CDX/72/hi/140 were all previously plugged into a double socket on the end of a seperate spur with no problems.Now when I try to plug the 140 power lead into the 250 (all switched...

Hey all--Anyone notice the character assassination going on in the maniac forum ? Most of it pure drivel from folks who don't know the subject at all.Well, the worse the product the louder you have to shout ! Especially when someone with experience...

Am I allowed to ask if anyone has Naim gear for sale on the forum? - genuine question, it ocurred to me that it might be against the rules to arrange sales/purchases.Also what would you expect to pay for an apparently ancient (serial 00433) but...

Hello,With the introduction of the new nat05 tuner, is naim going to release another variant of flash to enable it to control the tuner? Thanks.RegardsLaxton

Is is right to have my turntable connected to the earth tag on the 52, when the CDS2 acts as the grounded component in a Naim system? and how about other components, eg Video and CDR.Not technical Dev

Hi!Last weekend I bought a 102+napsc for a very good price. WOW, it was a lot better than my 92. So I decided to sell my 92+90/3, as I thought it would be difficult to sell the 92 separately. I had my eyes on a s/hand 140 (from '96) and when I arrived...

Flicking through a copy of "Hi-Fi in the Home" (John Crabbe; published 1972 (2000 anorak points claimed)) I notice that the Chilton 100s reel-to-reel tape machine was sufficiently well thought of at the time to warrant a photograph (along with the...

I have been advised that the M.C. cart on my turntable is a "little past it's sell-by date" and so I am looking for a cheap replacement.I mention cheap,due to the fact that the turntable is nowadays the seldom used secondary source and so something...

I have searched the forum about a year backwards and not found anything specifically about using REL subwoofers with active Naim systems. My questions are: a) what is the wiring arrangement, b) does anyone recommend it, and c) which REL to go for (and...

Am I alone in this? Personally, I find the topic to be a complete yawn.We all know that are so many variables that constitute good sound (rooms, speakers, etc) yet we still talk about the same thing.I think that a good 45rpm recording on a top flight...

In the Mana forum Vuk says - quote:Have you guys checked out the Naim forum recently? I think you'll find my thread entitled "where I stand" has escalated to levels of conflict hitherto found only here.I was hoping the posse would show up sooner.In...

Having recently purchased a turntable (nothing flash, only a Project Debut II)in order to rediscover my old vinyl, I've also realised that the lps in question are pretty dusty. Can anyone recommend the best way to quickly clean my collection (cleaning...

So - who's going to Bristol then? We are and decided to stop the Saturday night at the Marriott in Bristol. This is not the one where the show is being held which was full so we ended up at the other one near the Cathedral - it occurs to me that it...

Hifa is the world centure of the Bahaiim.Here is a picture of the Golden Dome.The top with a thin layer of gold.All the surround of the dome is stunning.Will post it letter - if I see I have a good quality pictures scanning. Arie

I called into a dealers today while out and about on business and heard a Sugden Audition amp playing into some small Dynaudios. Overall this set up was very good, it was smooth and lifelike and sounded a lot more expensive than it's price. They also...

Can anyone tell me what the lowest price is for a brand new NAP250 in the US and from where?

hello everyone,Why not found a footballclub called Man(a)United?Rob.

Hi again, Im trying to put together a system of used components. I came across a Nap 140 and a pair of Epos 14. I understand Epos & Naim get along very well in general but what about these two? Thanks for your kindness, Emil

This is a new cable from Naim. Going to test it this evening. Anybody knows the cable ? (I have a Naim morning here...) Arie [This message was edited by Arie_Gur on SUNDAY 28 January 2001 at 13:20.]

My system. You can see the top of the 140 on the rack (self made) behind the system, the flatcap is on a shelf under the 140.The speakers - against the wall opposite to the system.A private electricity power stationA picture of the northern...

I managed to scratch the metal tray sub-assy on my CDI the other day. Can the stratch be 'removed' using matt black touch-up paint or is some special non-reflective coating used?The stratch is approx 3mm long right on the edge (close to the platter).Q...

Hi all,Last Thursday I returned from a fantastic business trip to Tokyo. It wasn't all work, as you will see.First up is my return visit to the top floor of Sato Musem (opposite the exit of Akihabara's JR line station). This place features an...

I find that I have to turn off my Lingo when I do serious CD Listening. Otherwise, things sound bright/hard. Have you found the same thing? If so, what is your solution since turning the Lingo on/off is a pain as my listening is split between CD/LP. ...

Does anybody else wash their CDs? I do all mine and the sonic improvements are huge even to a deaf old Watt/Puppy owner like me.I use a few drops of ordinary washing-up detergent gently worked onto the playing suface under running tap water for a few...

Hi Y'allToday I ordered me some 2x3.5 meters of naca5cable. Since I don't have a car and there's noNaim dealer in my area, I ordered it blindly.Now, since practically all Naim users are alsousing or recommending naca5 cable I thought itwould be a wise...
