Hi-Fi Corner

Morning... Could,would,should one add a Naim power supply to my system? Thanks all.

I realise this is somewhat of a circular argument in that both the quality hifi hardware and source materials affect sound quality. Indeed there are of course many other factors that affect SQ such as software (used in digital sources for example),...

Is there any sense in doing this, if the amplifier, DA converter and Uniti Serve have been sitting on a dusty shelves for 2 to 3 years. Could it conceivably make a difference?

Hi all, just a qick question. I have an opportunity to audition some oak (sun bleached) coloured 1997 credo's.  My set up: cds2/XPS hiline nac 82 Supercap (olive) nap 180 sonus faber concerto's  all boxes serviced except 82   I've had...

Hi. I am new to the forum so am allowed one stupid question. I have recently bought a Unitilite. The speaker outputs on the back are marked very clearly 'Left' and 'Right'. I know this might sound stupid, but why are they logically the wrong way...

Hello All, Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these speakers using the NACA5 cable and in particular, what would be the best way to connect them using wire jumpers? I have a set of high quality Chord Signature Jumpers and have read...

Forum folk, Sorting out my NAC 282. Just checking whether, when new, the 282 comes with a snaic 5 or other cable. Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction? (I have the link plugs, NAPSC, mains cable, manual and remote of course.) Many...

Hi all, im now in a position to buy a secondhand xps to power my dac, im just wondering how much difference it will make in my system,  iv a cd5xs, nac 122x , 150x, flatcap 2x, and arrivas

I upgraded the 112X/FC2 in my system to a 202/NASPC/FC2. Big difference! It sounds like it has quite a bit more zip to it! It is a bit brighter I think! Overall however I am very pleased. Now I need to spend some more time with it but so far...

Hi all Naimes! I have a chain of 202-200-hicap-dr-hiline-ndac-xps2-LP12 from 1989 (adikt, pre-cirkus-akito-stageline-hicap) into SBL. I love it. My last purchase was the hicap-dr and it really changed the 202.  Loving this part-vintage setup I...

Hi everyone. Much has happened since my last visit here. I used to have a Naim Dac V1 + Supernait 2 + Martin Logan Motion 40, but because of financial restraints and overpowering bass for my 16 square meter roomm, I canged my system.   TL;DR: Dac...

How long you  had to wait for your 250DR amp after the ordering ? 

As noted in another thread, I'm getting close to buying an NDS, 555PS, etc. I've learned a lot here and elsewhere as I've researched this, and I want to ask a question similar to one I've asked before but from a more informed perspective.   Is...

This has never happened to me since I ditched my JVC MIDI-HIFI. Why do people say such silly things?

Well I was terrified earlier when I took my turntable into the local dealer and replaced the Elys2 cartridge.  Also, I removed the crossovers from the Credo and took them in to be checked and have the bananas cleaned up a bit (they are 17 years...

Hi Forum. I have been slowly upgrading my naim system recently ,and have recently changed from a Nac 112 to a 202 with a Hicap & Napsc. I am now considering changing the Nap 150 to a Nap 200. Is this a change worth making, and what should I expect from doing so sound wise. The speakers are Intro 2's with a CD5 used as the main playbacksource with Nac A5 cables. Any thoughts or options would be welcomed, thanks. Pieman.

Any Olive veterans care to comment on the merits and possible of demerits of replacing a fully serviced Olive 250 with 2 fully serviced 135's?

DAC-V1, NAP 200, Rega R5, Audioquest forest USB, NACA5. After my local dealer phoned me yesterday morning, to inform me my USB cable had arrived, I finally managed to get the new system up and running yesterday evening. Even though the system had just...

I've just noticed, there seems to be some pixels missing on my screen. Obviously I can't always tell as it depends what is displayed at any given time. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a cause? I've tried a full reset to no avail.

Hello world, I am new to both this forum and to the world of truly hirez music. The plan is to purchase a NAC N 172 XS (today). Now I need to pair it with speakers and I have a couple of 3 options (or more if you kind people help :)):   1....

Hi I want to upgrade my digital source. Rest of the system: nap200+nac282 + B&W 804Dimond. I have a Mac mini. I don't care much about a streamer. I want it to be Naim - so no Hugo or any other company. I have as well a dedicate transport -...

I have finally sold my 37-year-old Thorens TD160B Mk2 / Mayware Formula 4, and I'm going to buy a new - "modern" - turntable. It will be sitting on the top shelf of an Atacama rack, the whole thing standing on the suspended wooden floor of an old...

hi, I've searched and searched but can't fine this naim power cord information at all. ive had a chc hydra for a while, but with the sound advice of a naim dealer I compare the hydra to the black box naim Kema Keur (shin yang) cords and have found...

More so older vinyl Lps , reading in small print somewhere at the bottom of back cover would be " This record has been cut to sound best when turned up loud".  Of course I always did turn it up loud playing said records - but was there any...
