Power Supply: Naim Audio Hicap
Speakers: Rogers LS3/5a 11 Ohm

Chewkw,
Thanks for making the first move to encourage everyone. I guess that many of us are quite eager to post our pics, but I for myself am still learning to take good pics. Give me a couple more weeks. You'll see it!

BTW, the new address is www.hifi4sale.net. So, regardless whether we change style, format or forum engine, it will still be the same address. For now, hifi4sale.fullboards.com is still usable.

Nice LS3/5A! Is that an AB1 beside it?

Wow !! Gotta tell you, nice Naim setup you got there man. How many watt's per channel can your Naim blows ?

Hi hasnul
Thank. The power amp is NAP140, just 70watt+70watt in 4 ohm, but can blows away many high voltage amp.

Hi guys,
People used to infamously ask Naim during the '1980s "how many watts" can their amps pushed. With around 32 watts, 'ol Naim amps could push any sub-82db /4 ohms speakers or even the Magnepans with ease. Watts to Naim are just numbers. So when Hasnul asked the same question...it brought good 'ol memories when I used to own those Naims. Thanks Hasnul for making this 'ol man smiling...again

Hi Chewkw, I do know that current generation of Naim's are not that much into power rating race. But I have no experience on listening of much older ones. To be honest, been looking around for a complete but older Naim setup minus the cdp & speakers. Just looking at yours makes me wanna rob ya !!! heheh.....

Zul, so Naim was bombarded with the 'power' question mark since I was in primary school eh ?? Can't blame those chaps since Naim came in small packaging those days but it can sure roar when needed.

Hello gentlemen,
Since this is a hot discussion , let me start a new topic about Naim Kaki. This column please remain as "Member's Systems" Post Your Pics Here!!!

Make this colum as a Hifi Pictures Gallery...

I am still waiting for some one who can make a second move.... gentlemen, post up your systems here..

hi guys , few months already nobody put in any pic ,,,, ok let me put my old and new system but only 60% another 40% did not have any pic missed it lah...
i say man why can't host the image ......

aiseh, so many otais, no one dare to post anything? what a shame

azri , biasalah memang pemalu semuanya ni.heeee tapi sure dasyat

Hello members,
Please some one post up some photos to this site, seem Hifi4sale.net's members are more shy the Lowyat.net's members. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/439516/+2500.
too bad, older people get more shy....

It's not that we do not want to post or share our system but there are security concerns.

Shy la, security problem, Spouse's permission, paiseh lah, takut kena humtum la, kena criticised la & old people more shy la..........i think the list goes on and on. Like that i also scat la!


Seriously, if the intention is to learn and do a transfer of technology from the named system to our own, and no malicious intentions and no intent to ridicule owners, i think it's a good exercise. But how do we assert our assurances that it's done in good faith.

Good question uncle_vic!

Agreed

This is more or less like in the Naim forum wheres many contributes their own system pics. But our mentality would be different from theirs...salah sikit hantam!...IMHO

perhaps it's becos of our hifi journey has being in this way. Some started with bookshelfs, love bookshelfs and everything sound so right! Some started with floorstanders due to peer pressure perhaps, so never had a chance to work with bookshelfs, hence may not understand the desire to remain with bookshelfs. some never heard subwoofers, some tried with subwoofers and failed and wowed never to touch it again! some could swear their ears could hear enough bass from a pair of bookshelfs, and the mids and highs are so so so beautiful! Some think that to go the way of floorstanders entails the sacrifice of that beautiful midrange, nevermind the highs! some could swear that they heard the sound of subwoofers intrude into the midrange and possibly the highs, so very very sure subwoofers are bad, bad, bad and bad!!!!


It boils down to one thing: we have not experimented enough to know the whys, the whats and the don'ts! We are not flexible enough to learn a wide range of knowledge and gain the widest range of experiences available to us. Meaning: we have not gone around enough to listen to as many varied systems as much or as often as we possibly could!

Malaysians and Asians are very different from ang mors. While I applaud the sharing on system pics in the Naim forum I likewise do not admire the herd mentality frequently demonstrated there. After all the motto of the Hi-Fi Corner forum is "You're a nobody without a Naim"..

Wow.. What a motto!!
"You're a nobody without a Name" sounds more logic leh...

I'm a nobody member too.

And I shall be 'Naim-less'!

"Nameless" is the most powerful master in Storm Riders/Warriors movie.

Actually that's how Naim is pronounced. I can still remember going to a hi-fi shop in Totenham Court road back in 96 and asking for a demo of a "Na-Im Nait 3" in my best Bahasa Baku pronounciation and seeing the blur look on the salesman's face

Yes. Actually, I know that it is pronounced that way.
I was emphasizing on the spelling rather than pronunciation.
Hahahahaha.. Thank for sharing anyway.

pic pls!! less talk lor

Agreed! Mana gambaq..?

I was "somebody" before ..not anymore...he..he. But still admire the sounds.

the other tag line is "sorry, I didn't catch your Naim".

Uncle Vic,

I believe Malaysian prefers personal attack than to think logic as everybody has their own preferences. We should learn how to respect others system, as long they enjoy, they like it..so be it. After all, it's music matters....

How many of us discuss about music more than equipments and objected when being labeled as hifi lover not as music lover....IMHO

I'm still looking fwd to listen to your system...one day Uncle as my schedule is quite tight now.

Sheesh, I thought I had reached the NATO forum (NO ACTION, TALK ONLY)

Pictures please... Anybody??? Pretty please...

wanted to post my old school system but don't know how to upload pictures.

Hope it would be useful to you.

Looking at it, seems like is possible to "ciplak" a NAP140..same Sanken BPT as Audiolab 8000P hand itchy...

I say man, just post pics of your systems la. This not a discussion thread. Keep comments short.

By the time u arrive, the system oledi transformed many times!!!

The important thing is not looking at the pics, sharply focused or blur blur!!! The important thing is to learn something out of an actual visit and putting in good use what u have learn to get your setup to work and sound at a next higher level of excellences!!!!! If we don't look at it this way, but instead go criticised this and that, and don't / unable to improve on your own setup, then u have wasted your precious time la, might as well stay at home and just enjoy the music whatever way u may like it and may not be what others like la!!!

Impressive! Any room treatment?

Zeebee, Very nice setups, one of my favourite Living Voice speakers too. Thanks for sharing.

Hi,

Power supply, use this heavy duty power conditioner that can control the precision +/- 1% of 240V and additionally a Promintheus Audio conditioner for the amp. The speaker cables have this powered 'active' shielding supposedly to eliminate/reduce EMI/RFI Interference.

For room treatment, not yet bro, each time I want to listen stereo, I have to lug the Avatars to the front and move them back when nak tengok movies/games or listen to MC.

I'm mulling to 'design' own treatment from 'freebie' advice from sound engineers/consultants doing some work for a project I'm involved in. They primarily work with mainly with large scale factories/plants (to reduce mechanical noise) and auditorium/stadium, so on a smaller scale a bit different. Thought that to infuse some 'art' onto the typically egg crate products with black/grey colour for our house.

The treatment also need to get the all important nod-of-approval from my home minister aka wife too .

Cheers,

zeebee

Thanks, yes the Avatars are beautiful (my wife referred them as my 1st wife ) and easy to drive. Sounds natural and beautiful especially with vocals... The Pathos also complements it very well but somehow wondering and itching to try them with a SET amp!!

Cheers,

zeebee

Zeebee, I salute you for taking the step to share.

I don't have a photo of my system to share but I thought perhaps this photo of the system that was recently in my friend (Audio Image) main listening room might be interesting for all to have a look. The main star at that time was the Audio Physics Kronos, and it was driven by a pair of Krell FBP400 monoblocs, promitheus pre, Audio Image's own (excellent) photo pre and kuzma TT and arm (and a clearaudio catridge).

My system..

Source: Rega Saturn
Amp: Primare I30 integrated
Speakers: Proac Studio 125
Cables: QED Silver Anniversary XT bi-wire speaker cables, Siltech ST-18IQ interconnect and modified Siltect SPX-30 power cable for cd player utilizing Furutech FI-28 IEC and Russ Andrews In-line 3-pin UK plug. The power cable akan datang
Support: Usher Audio SR-4 rack
Tweaks: Telos Audio RCA caps

Pix on FB once but was told by friends not to put there..
