Hi-Fi Corner

My understanding is that Mana offers floor based and wallmounted support systems. So far I have my system (CDX/82Hi/250) sitting on a wooden 3 tier wallshelf construction. The CDX and 82 sits on a separate shelf, the Hi on top of 250) I dont have very...

I'm trying to figure the right heirarchy. btw. Front end is LP12/Lingo/Aro/Troika. Also are the 112/150's in half-width or full width cases? If you don't know the answers, could you point me in the right direction? Many thanks for your help. Le Chef [This message was edited by Le Chef on THURSDAY 26 October 2000 at 17:36.]

You guys will know this, but where in the heirarchy of pre-amps (including the 112) does the 72 fit? Many thanksLe Chef

Hi!I have updated my profile. Not my full name, but when you read it, you'll probably have a better "picture" of me!Regards, Bas V

Anyone out there have any experience with Linn Sara's or Sara 9's? I am just thinking or trading my Epos ES11's for a pair of Sara 9's. I used to own a pair of Kan 1's, vintage '86, which I sold (big mistake). I recently heard them again and wanted to...

A recurrent theme on the Naim forum is to remember that Hi-Fi is just a means to an end - great music. I know that part of the forum is dedicated to music, but I wanted to start a musical thread here as an antidote to excessive Hi-Fi-itis, which we...

If you have read some of my previous postings you are aware that Ihave a Mana two tier stand. When I purchased the stand the supplierwas out of the 3M pads that are suppose to go under the feet of theCD player. My system is a CDX/XPS, 82Super, 135's,...

Just seen a friends new 82, which other than the two rows of buttons looks very similar to my 102.What I did notice was, the volume/ballance logo's and knobs had luminated logo's and level indicators, whereas my 102 doesnt.Closer look at the 102 shows...

Help me out here, as I don't know what to do. I can choose between the following speakers: Intro, Credo and ES11. I currently have MA Studio 2's. Buying the Intro's would leave me some money, buying the ES11's would leave me more money (I can buy them...

Can anyone tell me if an upgrade from an NAP180 to 2 NAP135 means as big a step as from an NAC82+Hicap to an NAC82+Supercap. At present date my system consists of a CDX+XPS, NAC82+Supercap, NAP180 and 2 JMlab Mezzo Utopia, and I'm quite happy with it,...

Hello, I look for opinions and counsels on the compatibilité between the enceintes BW nautilus 805 and my system (Nait 3 R/cd 3.5/flat cap). I hope the result should not be too much too analytical. It is difficult to hear the 805 with a naim...

Which is likely to work best 112/150/Flatcap 2 + SBL's or 102/180 + Credo's? Dowe know when these models will be released in the US and likely prices? See "Downsizing" below and you will begin to appreciate some of the math that's going on in my head...

Does the 82 with 2* Hicaps still require a NAPSC, or does it not require a NAPSC at all ???naheed...

I am on the verge of buying a CDX. We have lived with & thoroughly enjoyed our Roksan 3 box player for the past 7 years, but feel that a CDX is a significant improvement & the option of XPS in the future is attractive. I spent some time today weighing up the used verses new with interest free options. I think that used at a sensible price is probably the best bet. The query I have is has the CDX changed in any way since it's introduction, & if so what are the differences? BTW does anyone...

I know this question was asked on the good-old forum, but I can't quite recall the end result. Here goes: Can you drive headphones from a speaker outputs? Will it work? Is it safe? Etc. Catch you later!-=> Mike Hanson <=-Smilies do not a forum make.

I know that this was covered on the old forum but can anyone throw any insight on the benefits of doing this (ie. upgrading from a Hicap) within the context of a CDS11/52/2x250/SBL system??Thanks ... Andy

Hello everyone,Has anyone heard the combination of a Meridian 506 cd-player + a Naim nap 42/nac110 and Royd doubletspeakers ,because I'm thinking of buying the speakers.My living room is about 40 square meters.And i like different kinds of...

As an ageing Babyboomer my hearing is going. My hi-fi takes up too much space. I think I need to downgrade; the question though, is how? The current setup is Linn LP12/Lingo/Aro/Troika, Rotel RB 965, NAC 72, HICAP x2, NAXO, NAP 135 x4, SBL's. I listen...

We discussed this topic but no one mentioned and I didn't know it at the time, that there are new machines (I saw in the internet Philips and Akai) that are look exactly like the known cassete recorders and they are doing exactly the same job - but...

A friend of mine heard that I was planning to purchase a turntable. He suggested that I get a laser turntable, since it would be much better.For more info, check out http://www.elpj.com. It looks interesting, even though it's more expensive than a...

I read somewhere on the forum that Naim were soon to stop producing the 72. Is this true, and if so does anyone know anything of its replacement?CheersMatt Gear

So, did anyone go? If so, what did you make of it? For me, the highlights were the Living Voice Avatar OBX's, driven by a Resolution Audio CD player via DNM amplification, which were stunning playing the Indigo Girls's 'Wood Song' and some choral...

Undetered by previous encounters what are everyone thoughts on the upgrades detailed below:Current Setup:MM Stage 5/DAC 3/102/napsc/hicap/ixo/2* 140s/sbls.I WANT THIS APGRADE TO KEEP ME HAPPY FOR AT LEAST 2yrs !!! rather than the usual 2 ...

Hello !It's nice to see so much Nait2 owners at one place. Well, I am one of them (with same problem).I found that "anomalia" on my ex amp Audiolab 8000A and it's nothing clear about it to me. What I want to ask is... I was buy USED Nait2 2,5 years...

Apparently there was a revision to the Naim supplied CD interconnect lead about a year ago.Thicker cross section and slightly different colour.Naim say its worth the upgrade.Anyone heard it versus the original or non Naim leads.I was pretty impressed...
