Hi-Fi Corner

GentlemenI have just received the latest copy of the Naim brochure through the post (thats helped push my bonus up)and I have to say that this edition is the best one yet.I must say that page 2 was a little 1980's in its style, rather boxey and bland...

Sorry, double post [This message was edited by Chris Bell on SUNDAY 10 December 2000 at 23:04.]

For the last 15 months I'd moved my system 4 times.On the first time, when I wasn't satisfy of the sound quality, Naim dealer suggested that I buy a new 220 V connector (the wall connector).I did it (as I always do what he tells me to) and like...

the XLR leads that ship with 135s are either left-channel- or right-channel- only.The leads from older 135s (like mine) carry both channels, and it is apparently worth snipping the unused wire. My system is currently out of commission, so I did this...

Iam starting to think about my next upgrade.My system consists of Roksan Caspian CD, Naim 82/180 Amp with Hi-cap and my speakers are Ruark Equinox's.If you had £2,000 to £3,000 to spend would you,1 Upgrade the CD to Naim CD5 or a Naim CDx?...

Vuk said"X% of people have dealers nearby who give them useful advice. Y% do not. I am part of this second group and merely wanted to point out that most of the people I know are in the same boat and that people in group X should be careful about...

What is involved - 3 screws plus what?I blew mine somehow.Steven

I am considering upgrading to a 52 but don't have a dealer who has one. I have a CDX/XPS,82/super, 135's, SBLs. Will the 52 expose any problems in my system. I hate upgrades that only force another one shortly thereafter. How does the 82 fail relative...

Is this combination sacreligious, idiotic, nonsensical, or is it alright, superb, so-so?? Reason for asking is that a used LP12 allegedly Val/Nirv with RB300 is coming up in my locale.The dealer says it won't be ready for a few weeks, but says the RB...

Hi,MMMM currently lookin' 'round for a s/h hicapI've heard that the post 94'ish models with the newer silver wrapped transformer have sharper transients and give less additional warmth to the sound--i.e better than the older black wrapped one...

I wish to buy a phono-DIN interconnect and want to use ARO cable - Jawed's suggestion - he has a similar system to mine so I'll take his word. Does anyone know a Naim dealer with a reel of this stuff? Thanks.

Afer a three month wait my Mana reference table arrived last week and on Saturday I assembled it and moved my LP12/Cirkus/Lingo/Prefix/Lyra Clavis from it's 12 year old Sound Organisation table.I sat back to enjoy the sound improvement which I have...

Unfortunately the thread archive of the old forumis no longer in use so that I have to start an oldtopic. After many years upgrading amplification andsource my current system is NAC52, Supercap, NAP250, CDS2, LP12 and Dynaudio speakers (Contour 1.3)....

Since upgrading to SBLs it's shown up my existing KEF Reference 90 centre speaker. Tonally and speedwise it's chalk and cheese.Could anyone post advice on candidates I could go audition?cheersalfps. the rears will be next so any thoughts on those too...

I have finally managed to get a captive Electrician to upgrade my mains supply to my HI-FI. Question is what do I get them to do? What size cable do I need 2.5mm 4mm or 6mm? Also what size MCB do I install?I am Guessing that you will all say the...

Anyone out who can share their experiences with me? Just managed to sell off my NAIT 3 and CD3 and acquired a 102 and 250. CD player's my headache.I need to buy a power supply to drive my 102 so I have to take that into consideration.I think my...

In order to reduce disorder among the cables, I am interested in using cable lengths shorter than the standard 1 m to connect my non-Naim CD and tuner to my Naim preamp.Major Naim sources in the US have little interest in building cables, say 15" -...

Hi all,I AM sorry to start this topic again, I know for certain that this has been discussed on the old forum, but did someone keep, by any chance, the old archive files about this upgrade (cost, what is done exactly, etc.)? If this is case, could you...

Anyone checked out the web based loot site lately ?Strange theres no naim gear for sale at all - there usually 40 items at any given time...naheed...

I'm planning on buying a pair of cheap (200£-300£) s/h speakers for my bedroom, I'll be using them with a nait 2 and pro-ject 1.2 turntable. Any suggestions would be highly appreciatedAndreas

Hi!There's something strange with my NAT03. At night the displays goes along with the beat of the music. It lightens up with the beat of a song, very strange... It is connected to the cable.Does anybody know about this effect?Regards, Bas

Hi!As most of you know, I'm planning on upgrading my pre-amp. I will buy a HiCap pretty soon and then I'll change my 92 for a 102 (1 or 2 years). Now I have the opportunity to buy a s/hand 250 (new style) for UKP850. Now there's not much s/hand Naim...

This evening I met a friend who invited me to his home to listen to music. He knows I love Naim and he wanted me to listen to his very expensive system.His system based on micromega transport, VAC d/aunit, VAC pre and VAC valves power amp,...
