Hey all--Am about to acquire a Troika in very good condition with a fair bit of life left in it. Once it is time to redo it, who does the best musical job ? I had a Karma retipped by Benz and it was very mediocre. On the old forum there was, I seem to...

I'm considering purchasing a Rega Planet, Naim 92/90 and Royd Doublet speakers combination. Can anyone tell me how well this combination is likely to work together? Haven't been able to find out much about the Doublets.

I have just acquired an 82 to replace my 102 with supercap. Also using cdx/lp12/nat01 with linn 5140 speakers and 5150 sub. After 48 hours with the 82 I have some initial impressions- must bear in mind I have been told the 82 can take weeks to...

Hey all--Has anyone else tried the Aurios isolation bearings ? I just visited my dealer who demmed them for me under a LP12 and P3. I have now heard a isolation device that substantially improves the music coming out of the table. (We compared it to a...

Can anyone offer any suggestions for optimising the slam and weightiness of my Credos? Speaker placement has been tried but to no avail.I'm a little curious as to the internal white wool and it's real purpose ( I'm really not one for blind...

Hi folks.I'm having some trouble when listening to my tuner on my Nait-2. At low (late-night) volume-level the sound is going to one channel, the moreI turn down the volume. This can be a little frustrating at times. The same with using CD.With CD the...

Big shout going out to all you northern forum members.Did you know that this w/end Acoustica of Chester are hosting their second Hi-Fi Show at the Queens hotel in Chester. Amongst ourselves attending there will be around 20 other manufacturers playing...

Views about the degree of improvement from the older model with dedicated power supply to the supercap supply?At present using CDI 82 2hicaps and SBLThanks Keith

Just a few postlets----(from the artist formerly known as Byronbay)Thanks for your collective help on my previous posts--a)Bought the CDI --Most impressed--in the same postcode as my LP12--less detail and imagerybut perhaps more slam on rock(cheap...

Hi everyone!Music sounds good as usual, but the balance does not react on remote signals.Everything else works remotely (volume, mute, mono, inputs).I switched the Super-Cap off and plugged the NAPSC out for about 15 minutes to do a "full reset", but...

If anyone's interested, there's a hi-fi show at the Queens Hotel in Chester (by the train station), on Sunday 22nd october. It's been arranged by Jeff Coleman of Acoustica (anyone know him?) and is £3 entrance from about 10:30 a.m. Last years...

OK - This is really weird.I got a mass-mailed thingy and it appears that Listener magazine is now being run by a publication company with Art still on as Editor.A foreseeable risk of such a move is that the publication company may not 'get it'. The...

Hey all---Does anyone else ever look back at when we started out--with a LP12, Nait 1 and Kans or variations on the above--and wonder if it all wasn't more fun that way ? I have swapped email with a couple folks who seem to agree and am curious if...

You create a thread and it magically disappears. Darren Miller

Most of the members here are owning such expensivesystems that it makes me green of jealous.Arn't here any members who don't know if to by a Rotel instead of CD5, An Arcam instead of Nait5,Rega or Kef instead of Credo ?Arie

I don't have much time to post this note. I just wanted to give you a quick report from the front. I've heard Vuk's system with the Mana Reference Table (a.k.a. Phase 2). Here are my basic observations.When I first arrived, Vuk's P9 was on the Mana....

If you want to complain directly about crashes, error messages and stone-age software to our tormentors at Infopop, e-mail to sales@infopop.comI just did. It was very satisfying.Don

OK, so many people have said such good things about it that I accept that it isn't, but so far I’m very disappointed.I’ve been running a lingo/ittok into 82/140/kef Q30s with very good results.Anyway, about a month ago I replaced my 10X4...

Could someone explain what the original term 'flat earth' means/meant in relation to Naim gear? Does it mean a particualr set of audio values or priorities?

Hi,I am just about to get another Hi-cap, this now makes 3(!) I want to give it a good 'warm up' before installing it in my system.All that I have to hand is a friend's 42, not 42.5. He has a 4 pin SNAIC as well. will this work with a Hi-cap, and if...

Just thought I would let you know that I am know the proud owner of a pair of IBL's, and they sound great. Haven't had a chance to set them up properly yet so am hoping they will sound better still when they do. Simon

I finally heard an MP3 audio clip played through a Naim system. A friend has his portable plugged directly into his Nait 2. We compared the CD version of Mark Knopfler's Golden Heart with the downloaded clip - both track 3, the Golden Heart song.The...

I have been thinking for some time of putting my kit into another room to the one I listen in.This could potentialy mean that I have only my SBLs in the listening room and my LP12 + NAIM amps in another (possibly under the stairs behind the listening...

Anyone know how the frequency bandwidth limiting filter on Naim preamps actually works, and what frequency it kicks in? I have even heard conflicting opinions as to whether it is a high or low pass filter from different people.Just curious…Tony.
