Hi all, I suggest that the words "Rack" and "Mana" will be illegal in this forum at least for the next 3 month... Arie [This message was edited by Arie_Gur on THURSDAY 02 November 2000 at 13:49.]

Hi there. Recently purchased the naim nait3, rega planet11,royd spkrs. This is my 1st serious hifi purchase(excluding a bose lifestyle). Living in New Zealand with a weak currency, this was a fairly hefty purchase($5000 NZ). Auditioned Arcam,and rega...

I am interested in seeing if anyone has compared the flatcapped CD3.5 against a hicapped CD3.5. Is it worth the extra dough? Also, has anyone auditioned the hicapped CD3.5 against the CDX. My dealer says that the hicapped 3.5 is very close to the CDX...

Hi Folks, My Naim dealer here in Holland always had a great passion for Naim amps. To him, Naim always was the best when it came to amplifiers.(He especially loved the old Naities 1&2) But...recently he discovered the "Sonneteer" integrated amps. Lately it seems that many people are trading in their Naim amps (int & pre/power) for a Sonneteer "campion" or "Alabaster" at his store. (the campion cost about the same as a Nait-3) now, I'm very happy with the sound of my old Nait-2 and I haven't...

I can get a good deal on the just discontinued flatcap is it worth it, or should I wait for the new flatcap?What about considering a high-cap?

I have waited for a while to post this, and considered not posting it at all. But here it is.I have done what I have been threatening to do for some time - I have sold all of my Naim kit in favor of a much lesser system.I received the check a few days...

Before I ask my question, I would just like to point out that everyday I log on to the conference to find more and more registered members - amazing. Why is this conference growing so quickly compared to the original one???Okay, here's the Q. I have...

My first CD system was a Audiolab A8000, Marantz CD-80 and Rega ELA, and something was wrong... the music that i knew and love in LP simply was not... there..Now I have a CD3 - 72 - 140 - Rega XEL (transmissionline speakers, i don´t like the...

Hi,Few days ago while surfing the internet looking for stereo and records webs, I found an old article that was published after Julian Vereker death.This article described Julian Vereker as a special person who had great managing skills and as a one...

Hi people with Naims!As I was going through some stuff I found an article in Stereo 10/1999 about the source first question. The starting point was that one should spent equal amounts of money on all components or a bit more on speakers!They made a...

I have recently returned from holiday to find that my, fairly new-to me, CDS is not very keen on reading the ToC. If I persevere (by opening the lid a few times) it will eventually complete the operation. If not I get the ERR message. Any ideas out there?

My pre-amp is non Naim with only 1 tape loop. Does the naim headphone amp have an output which will allow daisy-chaining of the headphone amp and a tape deck with a single tape loop? Creek affords this option, but I would rather not use the creek...

Has anybody out there been able to compare both Kans and IBLs at the same time? If so, could you explain the differences? Do the smaller Royds have the same qualities? I currently have Credos on the end of a Nait3/Flatcap. For a source, I use an...

I replaced the Napsc with a Hicap on Monday and if anyone else has this option available to them I would highly recommend it.I haven't really made full use of the headphones since I bought them two years ago but this has made a substantial...

Guys , I have a problem, a really BIG problem with my system. It sounds so bad at times that I literally cannot bear to listen to any music at all,it feels like all the life has been sucked out of everything I try to listen to at times.I took to...

I am looking to buy a 5-pin-DIN to 4 Phono Plug Inter-Connect to connect a Minidisc player. Which is the best?, how much should I pay?, are these leads made with both directions taken into account (in/out)?thanksian

My system consists of LP 12, ARO, ARKIV 1, Armageddon, Prefix K-type with SCAP, 52 with SCAP etc..I want to buy a new cartrigde. Probably an ARKIV 2. I ask myself if the prefix should be changed from K- to E-type because the ARKIV 2 has another output...

Has anybody out in the ether tried the diminuative Acoustic Energy AE1 in a naim system? I am thinking of ,perhaps, going for standmounts in the near future as I feel they may suit my room better. On paper it looks like a good match, I have an...

I've just bought a Minidisc player & am trying to connect it to my setup. Playback is fine, but when I try to record I am getting virtually no signal strength to the Minidisc. I have tried taking the Output from both 4 & 5 (using 5-Pin DIN to Phono). I have tried connecting the Minidisc to my TEAC 2nd system successfully & get full signal strength. Any idea what the problem can be? Do you think a Flat-Cap will have a noticeable benefit on my CD3.5, 92/90 setup?

Finally managed to write back to you all about my big Linn vs. Naim amplifier shoot out.This may also interest those who want to know what the Katans sound like.The demo was as followsSpeakers = Linn KatansCD Player = Linn IkemiAmps (Kairn/Klout) vs...

my shelf aspace is tight, so I need to know exact dimensions in inches BEFORE i buy. Thanks.
