Hi-Fi Corner

This is not a fishing or trolling exercise or a " brand loyalty " question but most users on the forum show/tell what systems they have. But what's do the dealer contributors use for their home personal use?    Anesters on a forum to...

Hi Due to kids sleeping etc I’ve been instructed to investigate the use of headphones for evening listening. My local reseller has advised me to consider the Stax SRS 3170. However, these are fine if you like radiator ears! An alternative would be a headline powered by a HiCap. I just wondered if anyone had done a comparison at all? My system is a NDS/555DR/282/250.2 Many thanks in anticipation. Nigel

I currently have a 202 / 200 with a Hi-cap and this week listened to a 282.  The difference was much bigger than I expected, with the 202 sounding as though a blanket was over the sound along with the expected space and soundstage benefits the...

Per title if you would. TIA Mike

My current main system is HDX, XPS2, 202, NAPSC, 200DR, into Gale GS 401, with standard black interconnects and NACA5. To me the sound is exciting, detailed, but gets a little messy at higher volumes. What would be best upgrade path for up to 1500...

Quite a few separate threads dwelling on the NDX or 272 conundrum with, from what I can determine, an roughly equal number preferring one over the other.   To remind myself what the bare NDX sounded like last night I bypassed the Hugo via a...

Hello, I just purchased two pre-owned components, a Supernait 1 from a private seller here in Sweden and a Stageline N from en English company. The SN performs without issues when I use it with a Apple TV. When connected to the Stageline i get a sound...

System 1:   NDS+555PS+SN2+HICAP   System 2:   NDX+XPS2+282+HICAP+250   Thx for your replies.

Hi all, there 3 limited edition kef ls50 announced. Lots of people are going to be happy having more choice. UK Exclusive: This weekend's Hi-Fi Show Live in Windsor will also see the exclusive reveal of KEF's LS50 mini-monitor in three special edition...

hi hope someone can help me ive connected a rca lead from my tv  to my nac 202 and not getting any sound ive plugged it in the aux 2  rca socket  any advice plz .

I've combed through past threads and the answer seems to depend - frequently - on the actual components one has and intends to move onto. System matching then being the operative word.   Let me be clear at the outset, that this is a contemplated...

I've just recently acquired a 1994 vintage Nait 3.   I've been using two non Naim CD Players with this Nait 3. I find that the volume starts to get loud from 7 o'clock to very loud around 8.   Having owned two 5i in the past. I never...

I asked a question a little while ago about the lack of bass coming from my LS50s. They are atteched to a Unitilite. I have since read a bit around the subject while considering replacing them or adding a sub. My current thinking is that the room is...

The Quad 77 Integrated I use in my UK bedroom system was showing signs of dying with error codes appearing in the LED panel and having to be reset by having its power disconnected for an hour. Given its age and a probably cost of around £600 for a rebuild which included the digital control system as well as the audio side, it did not seem to make much sense to continue with it. It will therefore go on eBay with a warning of a potential fault. My shelving was built around an amp the size of...

Hello and greetings from Florida! This is my first post on this forum. To introduce myself - I listen to a wide variety of music (although mostly classical). My existing setup is a decent high-rez mobile player, good headphones (B&O H6) and Meridian portable DAC when I listen to the music on my computer. So my listening experience is mostly limited to portable devices. I'm venturing into a wider Hi-Fi world now - I've recently ordered my first Naim device ever: SuperUniti from a local...

What do members make of this new ProAc offering It has become their most expensive bookshelf speaker having been their least expensive The old fragile foam surround for the woofer has been replaced by rubber Has anyone heard a pair?

Hi All,   After hearing a range of Naim gear at the Audio T statement demo in Brighton it got me thinking about my upgrade options from my current system (SU, Rega RP6 PMC 20.24s) into separates. The demo started with a 272 and 250 (non DR) then...

Currently on home demo I have the DAC-V1 and NAP 100 as well as the Nait 5si.  Speakers are Eclipse TD508MKIII and I'm using NAC A5.   For my tastes, I prefer the presentation of the Nait 5si over the NAP 100, as I find it to have more drive...

Evening all,   I run a very small / simple system in our lounge comprising of the Unitiqute 2, Chord Odysey speaker cable and Neat Iota speakers.  It produces a lovely musical sound with good detail, but lately I've been wanting more drive...

I would appreciate views about putting together a secondary system.     My question concerns a digital streaming source - nd5 or dac v-1.  What are the considerations should I take into account in deciding between these sources?  I...

Finally got to listen to Statement last night 15th at the Brighton Audio T NAIM event.   Usual caveats a Hotel Room, very many people and a restaurant the othe side of a not very sound proof room divider. Doug, Steve and the guy from Focal...

Current system: CDS3 w/555-DR; 252 w/Supercap-DR; NAP 300-DR and two Fraim supports. Does anyone have any experience with NDS w/two 555DRs and is it a dramatic improvement? Regarding other upgrades are outcome from any of...

This thing has uber-hum going on. Worst I've ever experienced in anything I've owned - Naim or otherwise. The mains are cool as I have multiple other sources that behave themselves impeccably. The local Naim agent suggested get the thing rebuilt with...

As the title says, is the 252 a fully balanced preamp from input to output? Fully balanced means essentially two preamps in one. The reason why i am asking is i have two other 2 box preamps of other make and both of them are fully balanced so it makes...
