My current kit, purchased new over the last 18 months, consists of: CDSII, 52, 250, SBLs, all housed in a "Soundstyle" tripod rack (glass shelves model). Also, I have had the dedicated mains and spur trick done.Question is (as always!) where to...

I am considering putting my XPS, Super and 135's on Mana. Are the sonic gains significant or only sutle? Any help on this is appreciated.John

Had the cd5 and Nait 5 for a few days now, firstly when I close the drawer, just before it shuts, it seems to come into contact with something internally and makes a disconcerting 'flap' or 'light clunk' for want of a better description. Is this...

I've started this thread because the measurement of PRaT thread is too good to corrupt.One of the things I've noticed since the Naim move is that I enjoy music a lot more irrespective of the source. e.g. I find myself nodding to the radio in the car,...

Hi, I tried to leave a message 'next door' but I keep being denied access, might be because I mentioned the 'H' word ;-))).It looks like Father Christmas has come early for you. Congratulations on your new babies. I look forward to hearing about...

Hi,I have just been informed that Hutter is available with 'special' spikes in place of the nylon feet.I experimented with many surfaces under the Hutter when they first arrived but found that the nylon feet on carpet was the best. This surprised me a...

for anyone who may have had any questions regarding the styling, feel, or performance of this new unit, read the recent, very positive article in listner!

Hello everybody out there!Is it true, that the burndy cable is only included when you buy NAC52 and SuperCap together as bundle?As I bought the SuperCap as 82 Upgrade there was no Burndy included. This makes sense, because of all the different black...

Is it possible to attach a surround processor/amp to a Naim active system without compromising the main stereo music system? I am tempted by DVD (telly is between SBL's), but wonder if I can add the other channels only when I need them. As a related...

Hi,Linn's new dome treble-unit with a neodymium magnet for the Katan and Ninka speakers appears to be very good. Any views on if they would improve on the Isobarik's original treble-units? Any reason why they should not match the original treble-units...
