Hi-Fi Corner

Hi!As I go through the Forum, I keep seeing the same topic over and over again. I will contribute to that with a poll.System:CDI - NAC92 - FLATCAP - NAP90/3 - NAT03 - INTRO'SWhat to do? Everything I will buy will have to be new, the only s/h item I...

You have to applaud the programming talent that goes into stuff like this -- the Dialectizer, a Web page that converts other Web pages into a variety of styles... Redneck, Jive, Cockney, Elmer Fudd, Swedish Chef, Moron, Pig Latin, or Hacker.Thanks to...

Hi,I'm posting to this board from Tokyo!! I went to Akihabara again and found a rather interesting department in a store. This department stacked a load of valve amps - many from very small home-grown manufacturers (such as "Spark").There's a cute...

My system is cd3/72/140/audiolab tuner/royd abbot speakers but in need of an upgrade , I think. Any advice on a £2k budget - cdx? cd5 + hi-cap?Change the amps ? Or should I just buy £2k of cds? Cheers.

Has anyone heard the top of the line DNM Reson preamp or amp ?I had a look at their website and the gear looks very interesting. They use separate power suppplies for their preamp and amps, DIN connectors and the gear and cables seem to be designed to...

I have been using this for around a week now, it works in Parallel (the current goes past, rather than through the filter), and is mounted either near an offending device (washing m/c, fridge, etc...) or in a spare outlet near your hifi. (I used it...

Hi Folks,My primary system consists of:CDS2/XPS52/Supercap2x135sSBLsBlack Burndies and Snaiks2xfour shelf, Base-Starbase supportsSince reaching this stage, I have been amazed at just how good SBLs can sound, but I feel that I would like a little more...

Just a wee question, and not to be taken as anything other than an innocent question, but why do Naim persist with those darned pucks?I'm wavering between CD5 and a couple of other players as an upgrade to a fairly cheapo CD player, but the puck thing...

Hi,My current system: CD3,Nait3,Credo`sI could buy a s/h 72 from 1994(no Cap) and a new 140 for a fair price.Who did the same upgrade path? What will be the hearable difference in combination with theCD3 and Credo`s?Are newer Credo`s better than my...

Can anyone see this image?

I have been making my own cables for years as I'm afraid I don't accept the Naim party-line about their feeble bits of wire.After much experimenting I feel the best cable available is Shark twin-core screened, with 130 x 0.07mm conductors in each...

I have a (new to me) circa ’93 CDI. Should I be packing it off to Naim for a service? Has any one else here done that recently – If so what’s the cost / benefit?- Simon

Hi folks, I've had a pair of Audio Physic Virgos on loan now for around ten weeks from a acquaintance who now wishes to sell them. They are mark I models and around five to six years old. They are also grey import (he informs me that they were...

Thought I would share this with you all...Recently received my nice new shiny Nait5 and thought that the "volume down" on the remote didn't work. Now spoken to the dealer and it now transpires that the volume control on the NAIT5 is often pushed in...

As i leave my amp on continously, do i really need to go through the process of switching off the amp before turning the cd player on. Why is this necessary-should i just leave the player on all the time as well?

Sorry for the word game, but I am really interested why nearly every analogue Naim user has an LP12 as source. I never saw someone mentioning the Voyd turntables and Helius tonearms. Can't those boogie ? Or is there less synergy when playing Voyds...

OK, some questions on the new 5 series: 1. FlatCap2 can power two pieces of equipment (eg CD5 & Nait5) -- is it better to have one FlatCap2 dedicated to each piece of equipment, or is sharing one FlatCap2 between two pieces of equipment just as good? 2. As the FlatCap2 has two outputs, is it possible to connect both outputs to one piece of equipment, so that it effectively has two external power supplies? 3. Naim's literature says that the new 150 power amp can be doubled up when more power...

Here is a silly little question maybe someone can answer. Why is there a "mono" button on the output section of my 82? When would I want to listen to something in mono if it is recorded in stereo? For that matter, why is there a mono button on the...

I have the Naimn CD 5 for almost 2 weeks. I replaced my classe CDP. My amp and Pre-amp is spectral (DMA 90 amp and DMC 12 Line Stage). Compared to the Classe, I find myself more involved in the music than before. I find it MUCH easier to follow the...

I'm starting a new thread, because the most recent rack-related thread is now onto its fifth page. If anyone reading this doesn't want to read anything more about equipment racks, you've been fairly warned, and can exit now!After all the comments...

I am the happy owner of a 52 and 2 * 135's with Rouark Solstice speakers.I have just bought a secondhand CDS 1 and it will be delivered this weekend. Now I have to decide whether to get it upgraded or not. It is 5 years old.I have to decide this...

Can anybody tell me from where the rating of individual threads comes from and who decides how many stars are awarded for certain topics?Just curiousFranz

In the thread "Are the Mana comments impartial" tf (aka Tanais Fox, aka Clive Grace) says:quote:(I'm expecting this to be censored along with all my other posts). On the Mana forum tf says that numerous of his postings on the Naim forum have been...

Priorities are low colouration (I hate midrange colourations) and the ability to play loudly without strain.thanks.

I posted to the Mana...impartial", found a misatake and updated my message there.After that, I entered to another post "system analist" and wanted to update my message there (as I have a new system now) but couldn't do it because of a software...
