Hi-Fi Corner
Some of you may recall that I bought a new pair of speakers a few months ago. They have three jumper settings to allow the treble to be set at 0 dB, -1 dB or -2 dB. I have been listening at -1 dB from new, because I found the top end too bright. The...
hi, I am brand new to the forum, but would appreciate your advice on speaker choice. Have had a unitiserve and uniti 2 up and running for about 18 months now, connected by wired network via a net gear switch in basement. the uniti 2 feeds a pair neat...
So what I need is a flexible cable that sounds exactly like Naim's stiff wire rod but bendy.. am i barking or is there something that fits the bill? please.. No anecdotes about hair dryers... I'm aware it can be shaped but I require...
Hi Forum. Does anyone have the answer to why naim power leads, do not have ferrite rings fitted. Do they serve a purpose?, or if fitted could they have a detrimental effect on the SQ?. Regard's Pieman.
Can someone explain this in not so complicated terms? (technical oriented but I do not have a numbers/engineering background) I've been told/read on many occasions this thing about Naim amplifiers having enough power to drive most speakers...
Well I did it. At least as experiment. About one third of my 600 or so CDs transferred to iTunes are mono, so all I had to do is disconnect one speaker. The old Leak Trough Line reminded how much better [musicality-wise] replay is when you do not play with phase, balance and volume differences on two speakers, and so now playing iTunes off one channel of dual mono two track issues has alerted me to fact that stereo is entirely unsuited to musical replay in the home. Well not so...
Dear all, Do you all think is it still worth to buy a 02 or even 01 tuner nowadays? in view of the trend going to the Internet radio? It seems price of those decent tuner drops recent years!
For some time I have wanted my active system split into 3 racks instead of 2, so I could remove all power supplies and servers away from the Fraim, and use the new third rack. My dealer offered me a good deal on a Danish rack system called Clic, a...
hi everyone if i was to upgrade from a hicap dr to a supercap to power my nac 202 is there a big difference is sound quality, thanks aceone .
Just before I went on holiday, a couple of weeks ago, I ordered a Thunderbolt hard drive to use with my Mac mini and Audirvana. Up to that point I'd been using an Assetnas over Ethernet to host the music. The main/only reason I moved to the...
So I came into a naim amp combo and now I want to try some good speakers in my budget(300-500used) to get the full effect.I have never heard any naim audio equipment before.I was thinking of pairing the amp combo with some magnepan magneplanars...
Hi Saw the AN TT2 Deluxe the other day, looked pretty cool with the Arm Tree/V2. Fit and finish compared to the older AN TT's/ Systemdeks Is exellent, and it has this special "must have" appeal. I had the chance to listen to it in an all...
I have the opportunity to get hold of some nice second hand Neat Ultimatum MFS and wonder how they would compare to my Harbeth SHL5 with the above setup. My listening room ist about 4,5 x 5 meter with a wooden floor and not much furniture. How would...
Connecting an XPS to nac272;
1. Which direction the burndy, is the 272 the source?
2. Nac power cable connected or not?
Sorry but I don't find the ref manual that good when it comes to cable direction etc.
I like to ask why NAIM provide and use the SNAIC interconnect cable, and would there be any disadvantage if someone used RCA type cables? I have a Vertere Pulse interconnecting cable, i like to use. Also why is there a short sleeve on one...
Hi, I want to convert an old Nait 3 to a power amp. I know Naim used to supply a conversion kit years ago with parts and instructions, I searched on ebay and found none. Anyone knows where can I get the instructions for this? Maybe...
Hi all, I just got myself a used flatcap 2x for my xs. However it doesnt come with a power cord. Any recommendations on 3rd party power cords that are suitable for naim system? Tks
I believe Naim are about to release a new DAC. What improvements will they make over the old one, and how might it compare with Hugo? Any suggestions welcome, I am still playing with the upgrade idea ie NDX/DAC or NDX/XPS/DAC OR NDS/555....
I am considering upgrading into a superuniti or totally separates. Of course the superuniti solution is attractive as it will occupy less space. But i do need to understand the real difference inside the box, between a superuniti and equivalent...
Running a setup with a DAC-V1, NAC282, NAP250-dr, HiCap, Napsc on a Fraim and been considering upgrading to a Supercap, if anybody here can share their experience with a similar upgrade (HiCap to SuperCap) please let me know if you felt it warranted...
As my two old L:eak tuners have developed faults, I decided to prepare the better one for servicing by sprucing it up a bit and taking some photos while I was about it. I would never open a Naim box these days as all of them have micro-chips in...
Drums sound better and more musical to me, and they really have a lot to do with pace. Digital is timed completely different right? Was listening to the drums on "No Sugar Tonight - The Guess Who" and decided it was time to post...
Its been a while since I posted last. My olde linn k18 cartridge is still 'working' but my feeling is that there is better to be had from a new cart... My setup is LP12 1989 spec with Akito arm and an Armageddon'ish PS. The arm seems to...
I'm toying with either adding two more 250.2's to my current passive 250.2 to run my nbl's or go with a 500. Both the additions of the 250.2's and the 500 would be used. The 500 is about 10 years old so probably needs a recap service while...
