System Pics 2005

Posted by: Steve Toy on 05 November 2004

Further to Geoff P's marvellous pics on This thread, a new year and a new thread to post pics of your pride and joy (all-Naim or at least part-Naim) awaits so that we can all get nit-picky about placement issues - to your ultimate sonic benefit! Smile

Regards,

Steve.

Well - success of sorts. As you can see I must be the only Naim user who sits his Fraim on it's side. Frown

I heard from a reliable source at Naim that a side mounted Nait 2 walks all over any of the new reference series! Big Grin

Fred,

I am confused too. What surround processor are you using and what is the middle SBL behind your rack doing?

Well here's my first system pic posted here, and I'd rather not have advice about things to do with it unless they are 100% cost-free. It all sounds lovely, and I am happy.



Hope this post works using the imageshack thingummy, for which I am grateful.

Speedo likes speakers!!! Speedo says say NO TO BUSH and speedo ain't talking about the female kind, but the YEE HA, gun toting kind that's leading Speedo's country!

Speedo will like his speakers even more if he removes those god-awful jumpers from the bi-wiring terminals and uses short bits of wire or an F-termination.

Hi Chris,
sorry, I forgot to post a photo of my AV. At the time I use a Rotel RSP 1066, looking forward for an AV2.
The front SBL works fine. I cannot imagine, that an Axess will do a better job.
The rear SBL is not in use at the moment. But I will try to use it as a rear center - don“t know if it works fine. We will see.
Regards

AL4N;

Image Shack eh?

You've selected the thumbnail 'address' as opposed to the full size item. To the right of your pictures, you will see a link displayed with 'IMG' tags either end (it also says 'for forums' or similar).

Copy and paste this string into the body of your post. You do not need to click on the picture icon in your reply, as this string already contains the image (IMG) tags.

Hope that makes sense?

John.

John's advice is correct BUT take one other thing into account if you do repost as a full size image. Right now at 1800 x 1350 the piccy is too large. If possible reduce it in proportion so the 1800 becomes say 1000, otherwise the forum screen gets to big for folks to view and we end up having to scroll to see the whole thing.

I learnt myself by painfull experience.

BTW Nice system. for the uninitiated what is the listing of gear. I love that beautiful minature electronic guitar. What's the story there?

It's good to see another black Fraim - I was starting to think I had the only one. And without wishing to be boring, you need an empty shelf under the preamp. You could always try putting whatever it is below the preamp on the floor as a temporary measure and see what you think.

2005 it ain't. But I'll post this anyway, non-empty shelves notwithstanding.

Posted on: 27 November 2004 by J.N.
Good point Geoff;

I normally resize to about 800 x 600 before posting here:-



That size seems to fit about right.

Nodrog - splendid !

I have many happy memories of Kans They really 'work' with a good vinyl source. Is that a nice solid wall?

How's this one?

BTW, that would be a CDS2, rather than a CDX II.
