Hi-Fi Corner

Just thought I'd migrate any pics or discussion about CES topics to this thread. Pics are included below (too tired to HTML our site at the moment)...Small system: CD5 / NAT 05 + dipole antenna/ NAC 112 / FLATCAP 2 / NAP 150 with unused Stageline on a...

I want a separate spur for my system and already had talked with the electrician and lucky I read something very imporatnat here - all equipment connected to the Naim must have the same earth.My system Lp12, CDI, flat/72/140, NAD tuner, Akai tape,...

did anyone visit the LA CES show? I heard they showed the new Linn KOMRI speakers. I dont know what you think but I think they look dreadful.

Hi folks, Yep..It's me again.Just wondering...Many Naimoholics on this forum will have a LINN LP12 in their system.Those same people probably have a CD-player aswell. If this is/was a CD-3.5, this question is for YOU.Now, at this moment I can get my...

I finally balanced my system: I just bought a one year old NAC 102 MC, Hi-cap and NAP 180 for less than 50% of the new price! I intended to skip the NAC 102 and NAP 180 and go directly for a NAC 82 and NAP 250, but it would have meant I would have to...

Last year I was lucky?! enough to attend Britney's mega concert at Wembley in London. Having been a good few years since attending a live concert (i'm getting old now) i was very keen to find out if the atmosphere would stir my loins again.After...

Keep that napsc well away from your 'boxes', and that includes you musicworks (or any other block ???)... the difference is very noticeable.naheedmana induced naim maniac

Hi folks.Last night I had a visit from a friend.He brought along his beloved Rega P3 and alsoa Sound-Factory isolation platform.His audio-stuff was collecting dust on theattic. ('cause of his low WAF, ...poor guy)Now,we were compairing his Rega P3...

Hi everyone,Lately the vinyl-bug has bitten me.So, the last couple o'days I'm hunting downHiFi stores and s/h-ads on the internet to findme a decent TT to start with.Now, since I don't owm many LP's anymore, (about 30 I guess)I thought it would be...

Out of curiosity, does SBL stand for 'Single Box Loudspeaker' or 'Separate Box Loudspeaker"? (I happen to own a pair.)Does NBL stand for 'No Box Loudspeaker' or 'Nested Box Loudspeaker"? (I may aspire to a pair one day.)Do Naim suggest a minimum...

lp12/armageddon/prefix/hicap/aro/arkiv-I (re-conditioned). lp12 on audiotech table. was going to get rid of vinyl section, but can't bring myself to do this.cd2/nat02, hicap/ nac52 on a 5 level QS (level 2 and 4 unused right now). the cd2 and nc52...

I remember Guy Lamotte writing Naim's new Electrostratic/Ribbon hybrid speaker in HiFi Review circa 1986 and Chris Frankland going into total rave mode about their sound. So what happened to them? They just seemed to disappear while in the...

A guy at work recently bought a home theatre system and is looking to find some good but relatively inexpensive wire to connect the 57 speakers that seem to come standard with these things.He's not using Naim amps -- I think it's a Sony 5-channel...

I know I'm constantly bemoaning the fact that my wife doesn't appreciate my stereo/music obsession. However, this Christmas she showed that she does occasionally pay attention to my "needs". To this end, she got me a Super-Cap!More specifically, she...

I know there's another thread going re Naim & non-Naim speakers, but what the heck - this forum's all about starting new topics! I just spent an evening with the new Linn Ninka speakers - in the hope that they would continue the mellowness and coherence I still hear in my 8-yr-old Keilidhs, and maybe add some of the dynamics and openness of the Credo, without the rather brittle top end. What I heard was an incredibly detailed and upfront speaker, with a squeaky-clean and almost plasticky...

I asked several weeks ago but maybe it was new then - now I guess more members listened to the 112 and I wonder if the 112 is better or not than the 72.Arie

Has anyone else found that InfoPop has become InfoPoop again?Slow responses, 'not available' messages, etc...Martin

I know how highly thought of the NAT03 is/was. Unfortunately I missed out on that one,as I had other upgrade priorities.I hope to change my now ageing Arcam tuner this year. Has anybody heard the new NAT05?any conclusions? I shall demo one, of course,...

Hi,Today, I'm using a Naxo/Hicap to drive my active Isobariks. I may have the opportunity to trade my Hicap (2 years old )for used Supercap (also 2 years old) plus around 1,000 GBP. The Naxo does not have the Burndy cable option and therefore can not...

Hi, you all often talk about Mana and it sounds great.But i don't know much things about that...I have a cd3.5/nac102/hicap/nap180.Which Mana's should i buy?Do you if there are Mana's retailers in France.Thank you all.ByeCharlesps: i intend to buy...

It's a question, not a slight on Brit M**a fanatics. I have an old Tripod system that is pig-ugly. Are there any good rack/shelf systems for my stuff? LP12/Lingo/Aro + 72/HICAP x2/NAXO/NAP135 x4. To survive (Sound of fiancee sighing and rolling eyes...

All--Thanks for the feedback you provided me regarding speakers. I pursued two main courses of action: auditioning new speakers and making the SBLs sound as good as they should.As a brief refresher, I was frustrated with the performance of the...

I just recently purchased a CDS1 and was wondering what the sonic benefits are of upgrading to the new black burndy cord. It sounds like it is a good move but if someone could comment on the sonic benefits.ThanksJohn
