Hi-Fi Corner

Well at least I had to, because there was no more space for another Mana. I've a Mana 6-tier and a Phase 3. On the Phase 3 sits the CDS1.Up until last week, the rest of the equipment was placed like this:-1)NAT02 (topmost level)2)NAC...

I have 62/140 with MC phono left un-used. So I plan to find its partner. I like the look of Blue Room Mini Pod and the classic of Thorens TD 124/3009. These two products are within my budget. My question are 1) what should be an MC catrgidge and 2)...

I have 82/180 and Marantz CD12. It sound O.K. But from reading this forum , People always use Naim CD. What CD , I should go for. What I would gain and lose ?

The Naim of people say that a passive SBL with a NAP500 sounds better than SCAP SNAXO4*NAP135. I correspond. One does not need to hear 5 seconds around.But I did not get information, whether an active hybrid version NAP500/2*NAP135goes better than the...

Here's a tale for you.Many times over the years it's been suggested that I should move my Naim equipment from between the loudspeakers(Kelly KT3's) thus creating an open space between them. This I was told would help the interaction between the two...

Paul, Mark or whoever,Any chance of getting infopop to correct the time on the list.I know this is a fairly minor irritant compared to the unavailability of the lists, but for the past week the server has been running with the time 10 minutes fast....

I have 82/180/hicap and small speakers and use it to watch movie. Sometimes I need more bass and want a subwoofer (active one). Do I need special cable to connect from my 82 to the sub? How I should do it?

Hey, here's another one: what's your opininion of the Intro vs. Credo speakers? I have never heard any of the Naim speakers, but I can get a pair of Intro's for 450 quid! My current system: CDI, NAC92, NAP90/3, Flatcap, MA Studio2 & Rel Stadium II Thanks! Bas V

Down @ Homebase on saturday i came across a small section dedicated to furniture catsors/dampers, all sorts of rubber/metal/plastic goodies.In the end i bought some 'spiked' castors (intended to protect your carpet !!!) and also the little plastic...

Whats with InfoPop? I only seem to get into the Naim Forum about 25% of the time without getting a n "out to lunch" error message.Do they use 14.4 modems or something?Maybe they need to be told about T1 lines.Arthur Bye

Class B? Huh? Anyone else see the NBL review in Stereophile? Class B product? What gives? Does this mean NBLs are not good enough for the class A CD3.5? It was nice to see a review of a product I own, but frankly I was not surprised to see the outcome...

I have been told that if I want to install a mains spur with a separate earth I must protect the circuit with an RCD (Residual Current Device).In these the mains current must pass through a very small toroid, which is not good. My electrician normally...

I've been offered an ex-dem CDS-PS with grey Burndy for use with my CDX.Has anyone directly compared the CDS-PS with the XPS on a CDX (or even a CDS-II)?Has anyone bought, or sold, or intend to sell a CDS-PS? What did you pay / ask?I seem to remember...

You OK?Regards P

In Israel CD's are too expensive.I wonder what the members here are thinking aboutCD's prices, about copying CD's - did anyonechecked if a copied CD is equal to the sourceCD (I think it is not) and I'm interested to know anything else connected to...

Has anybody tried the sound and light show that is offered by putting a unwanted CD in the microwave, settings for about 3 seconds.It's a bit of a hoot, by the way the CD is definitly converted to a frisbee.

What do You do with the speakercable to the speaker closest to the amp? I have a couple of meters left at the amp and would like some advise how to do with it. /Erik (the surenameless)

Smack me if somebody has already discovered this mod, but I have found a way to vastly improve the sound of Sound Org racks with Naim gear.Many of us are familiar with that midrangy blat and limited dynamic that Sound Org reveals as you climb higher...

I've recently come to wonder why my system always sounded very smooth and lacking in projection. I've thought of changing my Isobariks, or replacing their tweeters. I've tried the speakers in every position in the room that I thought practical (even...

Hello to all,I need some advice on what to do about the next upgrade. Kit is currently CDI(on Mana Reference table)/Planar25/crappy Sonytuner/72/hicap/160/IBL. I feel that a preamp upgrade would be the thing, as I have been promised a pair of 135s at...

Dear all,A quick question. Is it possible to send my 42.5 to Naim for converting to a 72?I know this is possible with the 32.5, but not clear on the 42.5.Also, the volume pot is getting noisy and needs replacing.In order to achieve all this, what do I...

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a much younger man than me who lived in harmony with his Linn Sondek/Ittock/Naim32/Hi-cap/250/Mission 770's.The wicked Fairy Divorce took away all his posessions and left him to wander the world with only a...

Martin Colloms has published a very extensive review of the NAP 500.This article is five pages. I would be interested in the general reader response, this is not a rave review.

As a journalist - yes, tis true - I learned long ago that the stupidest thing you can do is to pretend you know something you don't. And so, with trepitation, I ask: Exactly what the hell is PRaT?
