Furthering Bill's Insanity...?
Yes im aware there are many superior phono stages, but not many made by Naim that can get a power feed from my Nac 52 and sit inside my lp12 Plinth on my 10 phase mana stand and have an association with Doctor Who’s tardis. Money wise is my call and ill decide who i think is worth it.Oh dear.... Fully approved by P T Barnum and sponsored by kool aid I reckon!
$295 to change mains tap on transformer from 240 to 115V!!
$175 an hour labour!
What with those rates and customers who will believe that Z foil resistors will make a difference I'm plying my trade in the wrong country I believe...
BTW there's more chance of Hilary Clinton crashing into you in a school bus of her latest victims kidnapped from a pizza parlour than there is of Z foil resistors making any difference.
Just buy a better phono stage. The Prefix is nothing special.

Yes thanks for the heads up, I never thought I wouldn’t be! plus the return postage from NZ wont be cheap either and the thieving gypsy government taxes etc. I haven’t decide what to do yet, i started the thread to fine these things out.Your call of course but you are being completely ripped off.

Y'all want grits with that?Looks AVoptions are a Naim sanctioned service centre and the only one in the US, I guess they do extras on the side.
Come on Craig tell all, what happen between you and AVops?Y'all want grits with that?
Absolutely nothing. I'm just against foo in all of its evil incarnations.Come on Craig tell all, what happen between you and AVops?
I have to say that I found the prefix rather underwhelming and easily bettered by the mc section in the Kairn.

used it with a 72,hicap,250.I’ve never found my Prefix underwhelming powered by my 52. Which Naim amp were you using it with?
The best way to lift the prefix is to improve the PS. Of the third party options I preferred the TPX4 modded HC over the teddy pardo. Never tried a Naim DR.
The hiss won't go away since that's a function of quantum mechanics in the load resistance but you can get a decent lift in resolution by eliminating power supply noise.
Even though the Prefix has miniscule constant current demands, it is extraordinary sensitive to the quality of the PS...the powered input on the 552 for instance was quite uninspiring when i tried it, and even a dedicated Hicap was better. But the Prefix really only came to its own when a Supercap or better PS was used. I originally used a SC, which was replaced by an even better Epona Acoustics (by Tanais Fox),supply that was modded to have choke regulation.
