Hi-Fi Corner
Hello.My system comprises of CD 3.5, Nait 3 and Credos, I am in the process of arranging a demo of a second hand Hicap but have just seen comments on the flatcap2.Has anyone any experience of comparing the 2? which would you recommend?Cheers
Well, I was fortunate enough to get my FlatCap2 just before Christmas and I can report that it is simply outstanding. Any newbies or poorer Naim fans (like me) need hesitate no longer: go forth to your dealer and order one.The improvements to my...
I'm interested in exploring the potential of using alternative sources of power (e.g. solar or wind) for my Naim system. Please let me know of any experiences that have been tried. Thank You!.Markfyi - I already run a separate circuit dedicated to my...
When I saw Mike Hanson's house I started to wonder if someone has an experience in the way a stereo sysem sounds in a wooden house compare to the same system in a concrete house.In a concrete house the speakers are standing against a solid "hard" wall...
In another thread, the point was made that music lovers spend more on music than on equipment.This assertion is often made. In fact, John Atkinson of Stereophile is proud that he insists his writers invest more money in CDs and LPs than in their...
HiSorry to refresh one of the weirdest threads since I've monitored the Forum.Get a STRONG cup of coffee--and I'll begin.To precis the original 'fuse' thread Mark Tucker's 'tuning tip' was that on newer products the fuses on the back panel should be...
i would like to report the result of changing nac52 from the 4th shelf to the bottom shelf of my 5 level QS.i took the usual control precaution of eliminating the effect of self cleaning by connecting/disconnecting my system by making only this change...
After a year of research, a few days of shopping, and a month of frustrating negotiations with the current owners, we've bought ourselves a house. It's big enough for me to have a dedicated listening room (separate from the Rec Room with the home...
I bought an ex-dem P25 recently and attached it to the wall with Rega's own shelf. A week later the shelf parted company from the wall, leaving the P25 in a heap on the floor, with bits of the lid scattered far and wide across the room.I took it to my...
This may seem obvious to some,but not to me hence the question; Is it ok to warm up a power amp and/or pre-amp by just connecting it to the mains,with no speakers/source connected (ie. as a standalone unit)Regards Chris
Vuk old chapI notice from another thread that you are planning to visit the UK fairly soon.Where are you intending to visit.Would definately like to meet up with you and buy you a whiskey in my club or go for a decent lunch at Rules, which is Londons...
My new CDS2 was installed a couple of weeks ago and, wow, it already sounds great - even though common "Forum wisdom" would suggest it still needs another month or so to properly run in.One very odd thing though. I have about thirty Naim CDs and the...
What are the differences between The original Arkiv and the newer one. I have the original that has been rebuilt by Linn. When it comes time to rebuild again, are the differences great enough to consider going to the Arkiv "B"?
Can anyone shed any light on the available counterweights from Rega for the RB900? Especially how to identify them.At the end of the Hutterly Amazing thread, just before some regrettable name calling etc set in, Ron suggested that Vuk, Kevin, and...
I spent much of my Xmas holidays listening to CD players at Grahams and would like to add some new and old opinions about the CD5.I listened to the Linn Genki, CD5 and Arcam FMJ and the new Rega in back to back tests with Vivaldi, Coldplay, The...
I'm wondering how compatible these are with Naim equipment. What socket do they feed out of from the pre? What are the positives and negatives of using this type of headphone with its own amp in a Naim system?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Many...
After a delay of a week or so my Hutter tables finally arrived on Friday from Austria. The tables were ordered from a dealer in Vienna, mainly because the price they were offering was something like a third less than the UK dealers. Most of the...
i dont want to restart this debate, but can someone remember the bottom line to the various discussions that went on in this forum as to relative merrits of passive 135's vs active 250's with sbl's. if so, grateful if you could send this to me. many ...
i'm looking for some advice. year ago i was reading on old naim forum about hooking up flatcap to nait3. right now this is allowed by default in new 5 series. is it worth to do such upgrade (has anyone tried it?) or it is better to buy nap140? my...

I've recently lost access to my amps headphone socket when I upgraded to a 90/92.System...LP12/CD3.5/90/92/Linn kans 1.I would like to add a headphone amplifier to the above system but not want to go to the expense of a headline. Can anyone suggest a...
Does anyone know of anyway of getting LP12 setup instructions? I have had one for about 15 years and had various upgrades done by Linn dealers but I have never had a manual (I brought it S/H). It now is sounding better as it goes towards the centre!RN
I've been reading the forum for over a year and have enjoyed the shared perspectives and experiences. This is my first post.I got interested in Neat Speakers after reading Vuk's impressions of the Neat Elites. I've been trying a pair of Neat...
I have had a pair of AVI Bigga-Trons on the end of my Naim/Linn for a few months now but have only recently turned their location into a proper listening room ( it had become a sort of dumping ground). The fireplace has been knocked out, an arch built...
