Hi I currently have a DAC-V1 which is fed by a Cyrus CD. I'm looking to either: 1. Upgrade the CD to top of range transport or 2. Get a Unitiserve to rip discs and connect to the DAC Does anyone have experience of comparing the US...
..... That my new rig consisting of a N272/250DR/XPSDR/Kudos C20 is sounding rather wonderful. Not sure what component stands out, they all just seem to blend superbly and enjoy each other's company. I am a month in now and the system...
Has anyone heard with Naim 500 and what was your thoughts. Is a 500 enough to drive Maestro? No dealer in my city. Difference between the two when driven by 500? Thanks in advance
Any advice on what would be better? I currently have a Sn2 with HiCap dr and Ndx but have the opportunity to get a N272 + nap200dr for an interesting price. How would these compare? I also use a Superline, so I would have to keep the hicap dr...
Hello all, I'd like to ask if anyone could offer me some feedback on the Totem Mite speakers. I know the PMC 20.21s are a popular choice among forum members and these are on my list for a demonstration. My current system is CD5X, 122X, 150X, Flatcap2X...

Hi Folks.. I am a little disappointed with the sound quality of my Majik LP 12...and I am not sure if there is something wrong with the set up, or is this the sound quality to expect from the basic LP 12 set up. At the moment I have the LP12, Unitiqute2, NAP 100, stageline N and Kudos X2. When I listen to a 24bit/192 download via the unitqute the sound is excellent, very clear, fills the room with sound. But when I listen to the LP12 the detail is there, but it doesn't seem to fill the room...
hi all anybody tried these with naim regards
A friend has just purchased an RP2 and is looking to build a 'retro' system around it with amplifier & speakers. I recommended a Nad 3020e (or i?) and KEF Coda 2's. No remote control for the real hair-shirt 70's/80's experience - he may want this however. He also mentioned 'big floorstanders'....hmmm. What would you suggest to get the best sound per pound? Thanks, G
Having recently sold my NAP100 and while waiting for a new amp delivery, it's the first time I've had a chance to listen to the qute2 on its own for an extended period so I thought I'd post some thoughts for anyone who's considering either product.

I visited my Dealer Signals for a brief demo of the new NAP500DR against the previous non-DR version. The system was NDS with two 555DR PS with Melco source, Statement S1 Pre, the 500 Amp and a pair of the larger Focal speakers and a full-loom of SL...
Richard, your opinion please, how do you rate the Ovator range of speakers, compared with SL2 and other Naim speakers. Thanks Steve King
I've never had the need, or want, for headphones before, but occasionally a bit of solo late night listening is in order without disturbing the whole house I recently demoed a pair of AKG K702 cans and they sounded great, but I was wondering what you would suggest is a suitable match for the built-in NAC-N272 headphone amp? Budget up to £300. Musical tastes extremely varied, but I support voice/acoustic/jazz is my mainstay. Thanks.
Just a quick question. The 5 pin snaic that connects the 252 to the Supercap would it be the same as a normal 5 pin Snaic i.e. one that comes with a Hicap. It is just that I have a nice new spare one and would like to replace the older one connecting...
Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good one?
Will a Nait XS (old model) be challenged, especially at higher volumes, with 4 ohm speakers with 88dB?
Hi, I have an Uniti (1st), Stageline K and Rega RP6 with Denon DL103R. As it is a rather low output cartridge (about 0,28 mV) I have to set input gain on +10 to get the sound level comparable to other inputs. However, I tried high-input Benz Micro...
3 x 4 m room. speakers on the desk in front of me. Hugo DAC. Thanks!
I'm seeking advice and user experience regarding the following. The current situation: Sonus Faber Concerto Domus' fronted by a Nait 5i2+CD5i2 and a Pro-Ject dacbox-s for digital duties (all TV related) and I have been saving for...
Strongly thinking of buying used NBL; however, have found out through Naim no parts available. Would you buy?
Has anyone had any 1.5m or 2m lengths made up? How does this affect price? Hopefully for the better! Have you compared shorter lengths against the off the shelf minimum of 3m? Thanks
Curious if anyone has any feedback about these. Here are some photos: https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipN6YpQkhd_s8n95rsy6fjyjBIplkVm7Ikb_KDsf...
Hi! I'm looking for a Phono Preamp to connect to a Supernait2. Do you think that it also have to be a Naim or are there others, for example by Rega, that blend as well with a SN? I know that Naim Products are well known for giving their best when working together but I was wandering if there's an alternative to spending 2500 € for a Superline! And a Stageline, I suppose, is a too small calibre for a Supernait, right? Thank you!
Nap 500 (dr) has been landed in my house yesterday, but still not connected to my rest of my system that includes Nds/555ps Nac552(dr) and Sl2 speaker. i`m curious already to listen, cause i was waiting a long time to get...
