Hopefully a quick question - will a NAP300 power amp built for the UK market work in the US?   Outside of needing to change the UK mains lead is anything else required?   Looking at the label on the power inlet on the PSU it seems to...

Hello Naim world,   I have a friend interested into testing the nDAC into his system. The thing is that he's using a DEQX DSP/Preamp to feed 3 amps on each channel in an active multiway set-up, and we need to know the Naim DAC's latency when...

I may have the option of acquiring a used NAP 300. the problem is that I will have only one shelf spare on my hi fi stand. The bottom shelf is deep enough to take the 300 and its power supply but I am concerned that stacking them will significantly...

Guys, as I posted on the other thread, I'm deciding between a NDS and a Linn Klimax DS/2 as an upgrade from my existing NDX, so one of the issues I need to consider is the interconnect between the Linn streamer and my Naim 552.  Can you share...

I'm looking to upgrade my speakers so I can experience deeper bass (I currently have small PMC DB1is) The other components are a DAC-V1 and NAP 100. The room is about 3.5x4.5m and the speakers preferably will be happy sitting close to the rear wall. It's important that I maintain the tight stereo imaging I get now with the PMCs I have £1000 to play with and don't mind buying second hand. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi to all,   I'm  interested in receiving advice on the new 250DR. Currently I'm using  2 Naps 200 -non DR- active in my system. I  love the voicing of the 200  but financial and physical  ( not much space ) constrains...

Hello. I've been struggling for some time to get a coherent sound in my office, which is home to my main system. Just reading a post last night, Richard mentioned the dreaded square room. That may be my problem.  Pretty much 4 x4 with little...

Just wondering if anyone here has ever compared them to each other in an all Naim system? My present NDX/555PS is good but I'm looking for a tighter low register, better dynamics , and a smoother (less "digital and edgy") sound.  I'm into rock,...

Hola muchachos   For some odd reason I came across a thread about Isoblue and mention was made of adding glass and ball bearings to improve the sound.   Can somebody who has done this show exactly what they did? And describe the sonic...

thinking of replacing my chord epic twin with tellurium black and my chord anthem 2 with tellurium graphite...cd5xs / hi cap / flat cap /supernait 2 has anybody had any experience with this or any thoughts would be gratefully taken on...

Hello,   i have an old model of nac52 with 52ps and I want to have a remote compatible. the original remote is not a aisle any more.   can I buy a universal remote an program it ? Or do you have some suggestions ?   thanks a lot for...

Hi guys. Just picked up a Superuniti for a good price. It sounds very good but I just cant figure out why a $6000 one box solution has no USB that allows me to connect my laptop to its DAC section. Is there a way I can get an adapter that will allow...

  Ok so I have understood the benefits of using a RCA DIN cable for a non naim source into a Naim preamp.   I run my DAC V1 into my Yamaha HT amp with RCA RCA but thinking of a  DIN RCA cable for that, is there benefit on putting a DIN...

Hi Just wondering if anyone else has experienced an audible glitch (like a static crack sound) in their DAC? The glitch would happen every few minutes. Source is Mac/Bridge interface. Anyways the problem was cured (for good I hope) by...

My newly bought second hand nait xs has a loose volume kbob so you can actually pull it off if you not careful, but easily put it on again and it works fine, also the green light marker.    This may sound weird. The problem is that I can't...

Anyone have experience with this product ? I have all olive system - all plugged into wall sockets. would using this power strip be an upgrade? david

Could someone please explain how the Naim warranty period works, as some may be aware I have upgraded to U2 from a UL, I bought my UL as an ex-demo unit which was supplied by Naim to the dealer in Feb 2014. I bought the unit in Dec 2014 and sent the warranty card to register and received a letter on the 22 nd Dec 2014 saying it was all set up. I am fully aware the further enhanced 3 years is only for the 1 st owner. As the UL is not required I am going to sell it on but wanted to check when...

I've just had my 15 year old 82 serviced by Class A - it's sound has been transformed. I'm hearing more weight, immediacy, musical resolution, timing, dynamics, expressiveness - in short everything that makes listening engaging. There's also a...

This may be a silly question, but is there a recommended minimum lenght on interconnects as with speaker cable on naim equipment?   Are interconnect 0,6 meters okay? 

Sadly i have to down size my system due to a forthcoming move At present i have    Lp12 Peter swain built hicap2 lingo 3 202 /Napsc / Flatcap XS/ 200 CD5i SBLs   By the looks of it I may have to go to a one Box job.    I...

I have a great sounding system - LP12SE + Khan and sKale with DV XV1S through a Whest ps30 rdt se into a 6 month old 252/SC/300 driving some old (20 years perhaps) Shahinian Arcs. The speakers were an unplanned addition, bought locally for £800 through claissifeds ads to replace my PMCs, and they sound really great. I like being able to move them out into the room for listening sessions (and SWMBO orders me to park them back against the wall afterwards!) but how big would the jump be to new...

I've just acquired an ex-demo 552/500 combo. The sound level between the left and right channels are not quite balanced. This is particularly apparent when the volume control does not pass the 9 o'clock mark. And when the volume control is set at...

Hi, I currently have a Systemdek IIX with a Month-3 arm & am having it fully serviced. Will replace the glass platter with a 10mm SRMacrylic one and intend to use a puck. Cartridge will be Ortofon Bronze (decided against Black due to cost & its probably OTT for the current deck). Naim NAC-82, Hi-Cap Naim NAP-250 Naim CDX-2 Epos-11 speakers and REL Strata II active sub. I have a plan to replace the Systemdek with an LP-12 Ittok, Lingo so I'm hoping the...

Spent an interesting hour or so at Acoustica this morning listening to dr and non dr amps back to back and the large Focal Sopras.  Speakers were impressive and the 300 dr was very impressive making a fabulous system but far and away the most...
