Hi-Fi Corner

Planning on running speakers cables through wall then they will run outside in tubing and back in to the house. Any problems with this?  Thinking winter temperatures etc ?

Hi Folks,   Any comment for the pro-ject xtension 9 turntable with Naim System ?   Cheers, marcobb

just purchased a nicely priced second hand unit from 2013 reading up on the manual, you can use an apple remote, but wondering if the Apple TV I have is going to cause trouble - if I change the input on the nDac will it wake up the Apple TV, and will...

Hi folks - it's been a long time since I've been on here.    I'm a gnat's wing away from plopping down 3 bills on a brand new Rega RP8, but I have some concerns regarding QC at Rega.  I have an RP3 (bought last year) wherein the platter...

Hi. I know there's been a couple of threads on this subject, but neither answers my question, so I'd appreciate any kind of answer from people with appropriate knowledge on this stuff (hopefully Naim staff as well) - I emailed both Naim support and...

Figured Charlie would have posted already, but maybe he's passed out.  We met again, this time Charlies house and this time Gary showed up so we were four with Joerand.   Wine and snacks were provided, and Charlie showed off his systems and...

Allegedly Totem Mani-2s need mega grunt but they sound superb tonight powered by my SU (Secret Story/Pat Metheny)

I am very pleased with my recent upgrade to 282 from 202, and looking at different options here. (I still have the 202/200 and that is a really fantastic amplifier too by the way)   In terms of a NAP for the 282/HCDR :   The obvious one is...

Tempted by a hifi chain speaker upgrade offer and my experience of neat speakers at the Bristol show I took a demo this morning of Neat Momentum Sx3i against my Dynaudio Contour 1.3mk2's which I brought in. Kit was Rega Saturn CD, with 202 /200DR + HiCapDr & napsc. First up were the Dynaudios for half an hour with a few CDs - well they sounded stunning, detailed and with real slam and drive particularly with heavier stuff like Primus and Isis. A couple of other tracks sounded a bit harsh...

You leave a record going after it reaches the end.   It stays in a loop, but can bad things happen?

Which is now the better upgrade, upgrading the pre or getting a DR upgrade on the power amp?  

All I might consider an upgrade from a normal rack into a Fraim - can anybody describe the sonic benefits. Is it comparable to a box upgrade (f.i. XPS to 555PS) ?

Could you recommend me a pair of speakers that have definitely very good leading edge attack and punch.   Once I had a pair of SL2 but it did not do for me and my room (was bass shy) but I liked their "character". Ovator range seems to big for my...

... very impressed with the slick integration!   My ears are playing up at the moment, think ive a cold coming on but nevertheless it still sounds great.   I have been a tidal premium user pretty much since it was released so Im not sure how...

How much to pay for a calibrated microphone to find out if you're playing music too loud for too long? See this from Jan-Erik (who knows rather a lot about hearing damage!): http://forums.naimaudio.com/to...64#49295590448231664 and this for the limits you should keep within: http://forums.naimaudio.com/to...73#49295590401702973 Alternatively £75 for miniDSP UMIK-1 which you can also use to calibrate the acoustic properties of your room to see what adjustments you need and to help position...

Looks a very good buy at £730 too cheap?

I am interested in getting all of my CDs in one place but have no interest in fiddling with computers and NAS drives etc.     I have been looking at the used market and some new old stock naim products here in Canada.  A new HDX would...

Are there any good solutions for plugging in all these boxes without resorting to a dozen double 13amp sockets hacked in the wall?    Daisy chaining extension leads seems crude!   I have an "isotek mini sub" but am told, by some, not to...

Wanted to share this experience and hoping for some good advice   So I upgraded from XS to XS2 and from Dynaudio X12 to Neat Motive SX2 and expected more from the neat's   My current/previous setup. MacMini / Audirvana / Vertere Pulse D-Fi /...

All, there are quite a few threads open right now on this subject but none are asking questions to help me. So, if there is enough appetite for this, I will proceed.   I have 2 sources: vinyl through Rega RP8 via supercapped superline; CD via...

in a smallish 10ft by 12 ft room.   Any recommendations ?

  Hi all, Do you believe Naim will\should produce Integrated amplifier with more than just 80W? I'm using Naim Nait 5i2 (50W) to drive my Harbeth7ES-3 speakers and was thinking about upgrading to a stronger amplifier. But The Supernait 2, only...

Hi,   Are custom made canare bin cables as good as snaics?  It seems much cheaper.    

I am lucky enough to be able to set up a second, tv system.  I have two potential alternatives about which I am torn and would like your views.  General points:  room is small and so the siting of SBLs against the back wall is...
