£500 for a base unit(takes the lowest bit of kit).

£300 per level.

£375? for a 'tall' level.

Outrageous?

It's effect in my system for the price, could NOT have been equalled with black boxes.

Being an analogue addict I have my LP12 on it's own Mana Ref table but I am interested in putting just my Naim amps, power supplies etc on a Fraim.

My question is..... Is it worth while (cost v performance) of just putting amps etc. on a Fraim or is the main Fraim benefit only applicable to for front end source components like CD players?

Please can you tell us what type of supports your equipment was on before being placed on the Fraim.

Thanks

Simon

With your LP12 on a Fraim is it the only component on the Fraim rack or do you have other components on that Fraim?

In an ideal world I would have a dedicated fraim for my sondek, space, cable length and money considerations apply however so this is not the case.

My sondek is on a three level fraim with base unit. Underneath the deck is one empty shelf followed by a lingo on its own shelf and at the bottom a hicap for the prefix. I figure the heavy hicap is best at the bottom. I have not played for hours w.r.t various iterations, especially as things seemed to come together so well from the off!

Prior to this I was using an audiotech for the lp12 with all electronics on sound factory tripods

In agreement with Simon. Also went Audiotech/Tripod to full Fraim. This was funded by chopping in the 2nd pair of 135s/Supercap/SNAXO. Although there are some cons of going back to passive, the system is significantly improved overall.
