I used to have an 82 (82/hi/250/Neat MFS). First used 1 hiCap. Bought a second one a year later to use with the 82. This never worked for me. After that, I was able to get a TP power supply which replaced two hiCaps. It became available second-hand locally in Holland. I had this in my set for a...

A few month's later,....I just need to answer. I had Neat Ultimatum Mfs's. Before I turned active. Is there a fair chance the acoustics of your room has a mayor influence? In my room the MFS went loud without turning muddy. By far not as loud as my current speakers, but they are good. Don't...

I stayed in the Naim loop for quite some time. Started with a Nait2, and ended at 82/hi/250 level with some shoeboxes in between. Also used a very fine cd2. All changed going active to the Dutch & Dutch 8c's fed by a Bluesound Node 2.

I've got a pair of Dutch & Dutch 8c's which I never dreamed of owning a pair. I really would like to try the original B&W Nautilus speakers after winning the lottery big time. Or the larger Magico series, like the Q7's. Of course the larger room in my new house would benefit a larger speaker...

Roel from Pura audio (D&D and Kii dealer overhere in the Netherlands) shared his thoughts on his website about this test: https://pura-audio.nl/en/2020/11/09/comparative-loudspeaker-tests-how-do-you-get-the-most-out-of-them/

Nice review on Bloomberg about active speakers. Including B&W, Kii and the Dutch & Dutch 8c's. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-20/best-high-def-streaming-speakers-for-a-hi-fi-home-audio-upgrade

On the other side of the pont in Utrecht, where I live, a church has been converted to a house. And because you're still in the dreaming phase, have a look: http://www.zecc.nl/index.php?page=1&projectId=23&Language=en Many churches overhere are being converted in houses but this one stands out...

Impulse H2 it is according to his post.

One of the best players in the world. Better still, his view on the game is even better.

4 pairs. Neat MFS in main set Dali supercompact Zensor 1 in the bedroom MC systems 504 in the study Some small Tannoy system in the garage.

I had the same thing with my dslr which was the main reason to buy a X100t. Never picked up my DSLR again.

A few years ago my CD2 needed a replacement machanism as well. Naim told me they where out so I searched the internet myself for a new CDM9 mech. These appeared in car stereo's, other cd players etc. I bought a new mech from a former Philips engineer and I found one in Germany. Eventually sold...

Tried this path and didn't work for me. Used two hiccups for a while and I am now back on one. Very satisfied with this combo. For a main system though......;)

I am using my 250 in combo with Neat Ultimatum MFS. Very rewarding. Couple of weeks ago I tried them with Harbeth SHL5's, very different sound compared to the MFS's. And it made me curious, the SHL5's where a bit wooly in the bass and now I am considering M30.1's. After testing them first of...

I tried a dualteddycap on my 82/250 for a week. At first I thought it had to warm up, sounded very harsh compared to my two hicaps. But after a week nothing seemed to change (it was a second hand fairly new item, but used 24/7 by previous owner) and I decided to put the hicaps back and the...
