Hi-Fi Corner

Did anyone have a chance to compare the speakers offered by Naim and Focal?  I understand that since now Naim is part of Focal I wonder if Naim still actively promote their speakers.  In the most recent HiFi show I attend in Toronto (TAVES),...

Hello music loving people's   The transport on my CDX2 is on it's way out i fear. The little plastic ring around the magnetic circle that you fit the cd over has a piece broken off it, and the transport is now making a very unnerving sound when i...

I started this thread because I received a phone message from a forum member asking about the bases under my speakers.  Unfortunately, I could not quite make out the correct phone number nor do I know his forum name.  Hopefully this may...

I'm looking for some new speakers for my SU. Currently, it is driving a pair of Naim Credos that I bought off eBay. I think that I've narrowed the choice down to something out of either the Focal Aria range or the DALI Rubicon range. My budget is around £3000 so either an Aria 948 or a Rubicon 6. Has anybody compared these speakers or have any experience on either being driven by an SU? Many thanks...Peter

Had anyone used a REL sub, T-zero in particular to add a bit of bass weight to standmount speakers?? What are your thoughts / experiences?     The reason I ask is that I am currently looking to replace my Neat Iotas as the Bass is lacking,...

I was told both my 32.5 and HiCap were recapped when I purchased them, but there was no receipt or other information accompanying them.  If I open up the units will I be able to tell?  Is it easy to take the lids off?     The...

playing music on this wet sunday ,just upgraded my speskers from proac d20 r  to linn ackurate 242 and they sound stunning on my naim system .

Does anyone know if Naim interconnects (either the standard RCA-DIN Lavender cable - OR the Hi line RCA-DIN) fit the Hugo?   Any other recommendations for interconnects for the Hugo and a Naim preamp?    

I've finally got round to servicing my late brothers Linn Axis and need to connect to my Uniti. The turntable has two male RCA phonos and the earthing connection. What type if connector do I need to hook up to the Uniti and what happens to the...

Last week i ordered a Matrix 2 6 Schuko sockets power block. I was using a pretty mundane Vimar plastic 5 Schuko socket strip with Klimo fixed cord. Reading some reviews on this forum I  was expecting a mild improvement at...

Hi all, my system is , cd5xs powered by flatcap x2, into ndac with nac 122x and 150x and arrivas, i have tried sbls and preferred the arrivas, yes sbls had good seals  and seemed clearer in some areas but lacked the base, so im wondering if i...

Starting serial number for NAP 300 DR  

Bonjour all French national living in beautiful south east England. Heard about naim a decade ago when a naim friend got me the bug (he bought SU with unitiserve) Wanted to introduce myself. I am going to take the plunge after a decade of just testing...

Hi Naimers! I have a problem with a CDX-2 MK II. Connected to my QED A240 amp (using a Naim DIN-RCA cable) it makes a terrible buzzing noise. This doesn't happen when connected, with the same cable, to a cheaper Yamaha AX-9 or to a small ifi Nano...

This year I have been able to complete my system and reach the CDS3/552/500 system (plus a vinyl source chain) which was an informal goal when I began 10 years ago. I was not sure I would take it that far but circumstance and that upgrade itch made sure we are where we are. I’d like to try to describe the mixed feelings I get from reaching this point. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy to be here but I thought I would discuss some softer issues that came with the purchases and which were not...

Hi all, more advice would be appreciated, my system is cdxs, powered by flatcap x2, to ndac, pre is nac 122x and power amp is 150x, arriva speakers. To upset the appple cart straight away i have tried a pair of sbls and preferred my arrivas, i am now...

The dilemma presents itself, my CDX2 without digital output needs to be updated. I made the mistake of comparing a newer dac fed from my Macbook Pro against my beloved CDX2/555ps  and yes the Hugo got me thinking . Is the UnityServe/DAC...

Yea, so... Hi again. Since my last visit, I ended up with UQ2 and Nap 100 with Flashbacksales RCA to Din interconnect, and DNM Reson speaker cable into my Focal Aria 906. Lemme start of by saying I love the sound, and it suits my 16 sq m living...

Hi to all, I'm loving my Naim Uniti 2 which is connected via NAC-A5.    For or some time I've been wondering whether I need to move my Mission 783's due to some bass boom I experience when listening to music which is 'Bass Heavy' when Im...

I did try a DR power supply, I can't remember if it was the Supercap or the XPS. The reason I can't remember is because I was loaned both units by my dealer to try in place if mine in an attempt to see why my NAP 250 was getting very hot so my...

Hello, This is my first post and am new to Naim having purchased the UnitiLite around 10 months ago. I like the sound and features and was now thinking about what an upgrade path might look like. I've found that I just tend to listen to streaming...

Just wondering if a CDS2 + 555PS is possible? Did anybody have experience with this combo?   Thanks   David

Postie arrived this morning with a cardboard box containing 2 4m lengths of Tellurium Q Black speaker cable, bought from James of this fine Forum. Even with the PMC twenty.23's nasty biwire links reinstalled they are sounding very good compared to the...
