| Cabling Recommendations Hello mrrobot I too have the Naim Statements (previously had the 500/552) with a CD555 and 2 555PSs with custom made Grandinote Mach 36 speakers. I had the standard Naim cables as well as the Naim Powerline and Hi-line interconnects. When I sw... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? coming from a huge Beatles fan (Happy 82nd Ringo!)...... Got to Get You Into My Life by Earth Wind and Fire | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? My current speakers are Grandinote Mach 36's. They were custom built for me and are the only pair in the world. they stand 6'5" tall and each weigh about 450 pounds. they do not get moved around very often! Mitch | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. I cannot figure out why anyone would even reply to the OP. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? I realized you've already committed to a specific upgrade but I'll add my 2 cents anyway. As important as a DAC may be, the transport is at least equally significant. The elimination of vibration and an accurate reading of the disc is where all ... | |
| Nain Audio Yeah. I still have my CDS3 in a second system with my old 250 and 252. I found that the NDS sounds very much like the CDS3, even when played through a 500 and 552 and two 555 PS. | |
| Nain Audio about 3 years ago I had the CDS3 w/XPS hooked into a 250, 252. I then was able to acquire CD555 w/ 2 555DR'd PSU. At that time I had never before seen or heard the CD555. I bought the 555 pieces used from a dealer for around $15k, a fantastic o... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. I highly recommend the Kuzma 14" 4 point. I'm quite surprised that a couple of guys listed Kuzmas as among the worst (though the 14"er was not on that list). I also agree with an earlier post which stated that it hard to evaluated a tonearm alon... | |
| Nain Audio @chayro.....To answer your question, yes, I do have a second 555 power supply for the CD 555. I think that makes for one of the finest CD players ever made. | |
| Nain Audio Oops.........Naim Audio | |
| Nain Audio Not sure I understand your suggestion...... | |
| Recommendation for new cables You would be wise to seriously look at Luna Cables. They make 5 different grades so any budget will work. Talk to Danny Labrecque. He's a half owner and personally hand makes each cable. I bought their Noir (black) cables (the highest level) f... | |
| Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? Probably. It's killed everything else it touches. | |
| Speaker cables Mid High end I would highly recommend that anyone searching for excellent cables to check out Luna, hand made in Canada. I have a complete set (interconnects, power, and speaker) of their top level, Noir (black). My electronics are top of the line Naim (500... | |
| Whats your favourite track to play to the non hi-fi visitor? Nearly all of the above mentioned tracks should do the trick, but I always like to play a selection that the listener thinks he/she has heard countless times. My favorite demo song is "Bohemian Rhapsody" on 180 gram vinyl. After assuring me they... |
