Hi-Fi Corner

Hi Forum.   I am currently using a Nap 200 with a Hicap psu, and Napsc.The preamp is a Nac 202.   Could I please be advised if a Hicap should be connected from the Nap 200 to the Hicap then to the preamp ,as I have the preamp fed from...

  - so true indeed...  recently i purchased a MacBook Pro Retina to replace the Oppo 105 in my system; the sound has improved considerably (provided, the Mac is powered with internal batteries while not connected to the power circuit) even...

Hi, my system is composed by a uniti (first model), n-sats and n-sub. I'm thinking to upgrade to a superuniti (I do not use the cd anymore). D o you think that  the audio quality will be much improved ?  

2nd time I've ask this question I know, but would like to hear more ideas.. Naim or otherwise. 

The NAP250.2 has the ability to deliver 400VA on transients. Everywhere I look it states 1VA=1W, therefore I assume my amplifier is rated at 80W @ 8 Ohms,  ?W @ 6 Ohms  and 125W @ 4 Ohms, ?W @ 2 Ohms, and with 400W on transients.  Do we...

Does using one of these on a NAP 250 or NAP 300 void the Naim warranty?

Guy's, I really need your help before I unnecessarily spend some money, My current system is a unitilite with B&W 685s2, but I keep looking at ex demo/display U2 or SU to replace the Lite. My question is I am really happy with what I have, if I make the upgrade would I notice the sonic upgrade with my current speaker which I would not upgrade for about 18 months or do i stick with what I have??? Or do I buy a NAP 200??? Thanks in advance.

 It is so easy to take for granted excellent service. I would love to give massive kudos to Naim Christchurch NZ. It's people like Bruce that make Naim more than just a music box. I had posted yesterday that I was concerned about an issues with...

hi all , can you tell me a bit about the nac 62 in terms of sound quality etc .Seen one serviced by class a at cymbiosis ,it will be used with a 250 hicap,thanks 

Hi all   I am in 'mid save up mode' towards either the SU or a 272/250 early next year.  In the meantime I had sold my Linn gear and am currently running a Marantz setup (NA6005/PM6005) ad interim with some Monitor Audio Silver 1's....

Hi, I unfortunately gave my Cds2 a good knock yesterday.  Fortunately It still works, but I've noticed that when I give my rack a little bump I can here some knocking inside the Cds2 transport, it's not the tray either. I searched this forum...

Has anyone any experience with 'grounding boxes' I just saw a picture where one of these boxes had been opened and there was practically nothing inside! H

I would much appreciate any opinion/experience re using Super Lumina speaker and IC cables in my humble 272 + 250DR + ATC system.   Would it be overkill in a system at this level?   Clearly I need to arrange an audition and preferably at...

I am using a Sonos connect , Nait 5i and usher s520 speakers. There is a considerable buzz on the speakers which increases if I turn the volume up. The reason for the buzz is the Sonos connect. Is there anything that I can do to eliminate this...

Hi, I have been the owner of a pair of KEF ref 205.2 for 5 years now. They are very nice sounding speakers, but I think they lack bass attack and their treble are far too much. So they are sounding too bright, I think. They are monitor-like, only...

Hi all, I have just purchased a Naim CD5si from my dealer and will be picking it up on Thursday, it will be replacing my TEAC T1 and Eastern Electric DAC. This is mainly due to age of my TEAC and also its just too big. I have also just purchased a...

What are Naim standard interconnect cables. The grey often referred to as lavender is what I'm thinking. I may have my Stageline S sold and the product specification indicates it comes with a standard interconnect but doesn't specify 5-5 or 5-4 PIN. I...

So I've owned a Superuniti and Neat Elite SX speakers for about a year now. First used a NAS then latterly a unitiserve. I put a Power line on Superuniti after a few months. Wired rather than wireless configuration. Though undoubtedly the finest...

I see the notice of the reopening of HiFi Corner, Falkirk this coming Saturday.    I bought my first "hifi" there in around 1987, a Mission Cyrus 1 (which I still have and replaced my Technics SU-V3), and a Philips CD player, my first...

i had a lot of work thursday night so decided to press on into the wee hours. By 0100hrs Friday, i had to stop as i was extremely tired. then i decided to play just a few pieces of music on my system just to relax.   Mistake!!!!   Its now...

What about the a.m interconnect cable, DIN/DIN configuration, obviously compared to HiLine? Has somebody tested it and choosed it as definitive cable?   I currently use an HiLine between my CDX2 and SN2, but recently I moved to Tellurium Q Black...

I'd like to own a Naim DAC, like the V1, but without the headphone amp inside. A half sized DAC, with the ability to put a HiCap next to it on the rack to have a 2 piece / 1 rack DAC with the SQ of the full sized DAC & P/S. Is that possible to achieve, or indeed warranted. It would look neat, reduce rack size and be a great use of a proper hifi separate to join the rest of my system, What do you think Naim?

XPS2 for sale pretty good price, looks mint. The DR upgrade is £925 I think, would it be worth a punt on this XPS2 then DR upgrade later on? Wanted to keep to 2 boxes, but it is a good price and might be worth it? Has anyone here gone for XPS DR already to assess the performance jump? Thanks.

I have just read a few articles on Naim, and it's founder Julian Vereker. The Wiki post is quite informative, and after reading that,  I developed an even greater appreciation of being a member of our Naim family. We have a company whom...

For some time I've been trying to get my non-technical brain to understand the whole speaker resistance/amp power needed and there's been a number of threads on other forums about it that I have been reading.   However the latest of these (with...
