Fraim levels sound

Posted by: Adolfo Aguiar on 11 September 2001

In another thread on Fraim, someone (I guess Dave Dever) pointed out that CDSII or LP12 sounded better in level 3 with no glass on level 2 and NAC52 on level 1.
Questions :
1. Fraim was setup like that because it was supposed to be demonstrated as a 3-tier stand or because Naim found that this configuration sounds best?
2. Are the spaces between shelves enough to house pre-amp and PS in consecutive levels?
3. I've seen tips here and there on how to tune Fraim. Is it possible for Naim to produce a "best practices manual" for Fraim assembly?

Why not use it to store cds and vinyl,like the modular units from the 60s and 70s.


Too much mass--you'd be defeating the purpose of leaving the shelf empty (which is to improve the sound of the component above).
