Systems Analysis

All we now need is everyone to put their addresses down and the burglars can come round. I suppose that it means that we could all have new style systems so the threads about new style / old style would become redundant !

Anyway ...

Source 1. Roksan DP-1/DA-1/DS-4
Source 2. Nat-01
Amps 72/Hi-Cap/135 (x2)
Speakers IBL Mk2s

I also have a 140 power amp which is the first part of a second system.

Holy.... Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, that's quite a nice setup you've got!

Here's my humble, little Naim system


Just received the SO table, 2 days ago!
The best bang for the bucks, bargain I ever got in HiFi history. (Delivered to my door, all in for only 25,- euro/15,- UKP!)

That's all folks,

Alco

CDS2

82 + hi cap (soon to be 52 + super - any offers on the 82 + hi?)

Nat02 (looking for NAT01)

250

SBL's

The 52 and a NAT01 will complete my 10 year quest for the best. Now dashed of course with the advent of the 550/552 series. I shall not go down this route however but now concentrate on the AV side.

Big T, it stands as such---

CDX/72/Flatcap/140 Sound Org stand.

Reference 3a MM De Capo i speakers. Atacama se 28 inch stands.


The Hi Cap for the 72 is on its way to daddy.
After that--

IT STANDS AS IT DOES. I am Spice Girls retiring from this damn game awhile.

Here's my updated setup pix with the recently acquired Hutter rack. I now know all that hype about racks giving big improvements isnt a hype after all.

System is on a Target stand

Tom,

Thanks for the pointers. Always thought what the P9 is sitting on makes the least difference since it is not directly affecting the sound but no harm trying it out.

Here's another pix...
