....just browsed throught the forum looking for an answer...did one hear the two in an a/b test ? many thanks!   ralf

Good evening, this is the first time I go to the forum and have a question I want to please me resolved. I have a team consisting of a Rotel RCX1500 and a Sonus Faber liuto tower. I have the opportunity to buy the latest version of Naim Uniti 2 and I...

Years ago I had a very nice Naim setup, which used SL2s, driven by a 552/300. It remains the best sounding system I have heard. When I downsized, the speakers were the thing I was saddest to see go, though the nSats that followed them were a big consolation. Since that time I've had a few speakers and recently ended up with PMC's excellent twenty.23s, driven by my much loved SuperUniti. A few weeks ago, I swapped the SU for the new 272/250DR, which gave a massive improvement over the SU...

This issue seems to have materialised in the last few weeks, and to be getting worse. It is periodic/intermittent, eg occurring on & off during perhaps 1 single hour of the day, possibly more, sometimes less. It manifests itself as a pulsing buzz or drone through the speakers, sounding rather like the effect of a mobile phone in close proximity (just before it rings or receives an SMS). Accordingly I switched off any mobiles in the room, and checked for any others...

Hi forum.   I have recently introduced a Nap 200 into my system, that consists of a Nac 202 with NAPSC and a Hicap 2 , connected to the 202. I am also using a CD5 with a flatcap 2 as the source using input B. Speakers are intro 2...

I am considering upgrading my Nait XS, actually, using the pre-amp function of the XS and move to something heftier like a 250 for the power section (the end of the chain will be a pair of ATC SCM 40) In the future I could replace the XS all together...

Hi Folks,   How do you feel the turntable on the Naim Fraim ? Is it Good ? Any performance upgraded or degraded ?   Cheers, marcobb

How do I go from analogue 2 to analogue 1? Going from 1 to 2 is easy you press the input button...but to go from 2 to 1 do I have to go through the all inputs..? analogue 2,3 digital 1,2,3,4 etc..etc..?  this is time consuming and doesnt make...

Has anyone on the forum tried to improve the SQ of the CD5XS by adding a DAC (Naim or Chord)? I find the CDX2 rather expensive now, adding a DAC would be a lot cheaper. And CDS3s are few and far between where I live. Thank you for your replies.

I don't know if you guys have seen this, it's pretty old but it did make me laugh! With tongue firmly in cheek......   I can honestly say that the  Sonic Slippers  have, without a shadow of doubt, transformed my listening...

Hi All, I have framed floorboards which are on stumps into the ground, I don't know the correct term. Anyhow, my speakers are on carpet and when played at volume, the floor vibrates with the lower frequencies. I cannot find an answer anywhere online,...

I want to buy a DAC to connect PS4 up to my pc monitor.   I needed to convert the digital sound from the ps4 to my standard 3.5mm jack speakers. I saw a convertor in amazon But I want it powered by USB,  any recommendations? All...

I am looking to move from harbeth shl 5 to Ovator S400. The S400 is to be driven by a Supernait 2. My only concern is the room is a 4.5m wide by 6m long. The s400 will be 1m from the rear wall, 0.5m from side walls and 1.4m from each other. Is 1.4m...

Hi, I'm currently running a Unitiqute 2 & NAP 100 with good results, but am looking for a bit more dynamics and power headroom as my current speakers are fairly low 84dB sensitivity. I will be testing some more powerful amplifiers, but am also thinking of a source upgrade. I need a maximum 2-box system. 272 is out of my price range, so I'm looking at a 172 XS, probably secondhand, and other streamers with pre-amp function, but most likely the Cambridge Azur 851N. ...

Hello all,   I would like to ask the forum members which sound they prefer, the unregulated amps like NAP 100, Uniti, UQ, Superuniti, 200 or the regulated ones like 250, 300 - in terms of PRAT and speed.   Of course in hi-fi terms the...

Can anyone tell me what this upgrade is please ? Any ideas of cost and benefits ? Thanks Al

Hi guys, For over a year now I am playing my rapidly growing collection of vinyl on an old LP12 (Kore, Geddon & Nagaoka MP300) over StageLine/SN2 with HCDR and really really really love it. Hardly use my HDX anymore.... However, as with the most of us, I have been looking at the next step up and for me that means going the MC route and I will only consider SuperLine. But here's the problem; SuperLine costs € 3.300,-, a proper cartirdge Dynavector XX2 (as advised by my dealer) costs...

Never heard any Naim speakers but I am really intrigued by the 'marmite' type comments and opinions re them. I look at say HH's new set up and it looks and no doubt sounds great. Is it just the new speaker range from Naim that doesn't have wide...

Has anyone tried the combination naim nait 5i-2 + elac bs244 ?

Hello,   Does anyone have any experience using Power-Lines on CB components. I just picked up a recently serviced CB Hicap and have the following dilemma:   CD5 XS + NAC 172 + HiCap = all three need dedicated power and I have 1 Power-Line, 1...

For me its the third time, been swapping about between ATC, Meridian, Rega, Bryston and Naim for some time now (nearly 20 years!!!). I must admit I'm very please with the way Naim have developed mainly with the pre/power/streaming...

I read earlier today that the u pgrade to latest DR specification for the NAP300 / 300PS has been confirmed at £1495 inc VAT but have not yet seen or found anything further on this. Have I missed an announcement on price and when the upgrade will be available? Thanks Chris

Hi,   Thank you to everyone who commented on my proposed system upgrade and following a home trial of the N272 I decided to order one and all being well, I pick it up tomorrow.   My existing systems if Musical Fidelity A3.2 pre amp, 2 x A3.2...

I bought the AK120 to replace my iPod classic that was liberated from me by a Washington taxi driver. After a long reading reviews I plumped for some Dunu DN2000 IEM's. Apart from the earpiece coming off the rest of the unit regularly and having to be...

I'm new to vinyl, being in the final stages of purchasing my first turntable in approximately thirty years.   I've chosen a 1990's LP12 which will be fitted with a newly-serviced Prefix. The remainder of the unit is pretty much standard at the...
