How do you fill those empty Fraim levels?
Posted by: rjstaines on 12 March 2016
I'm sitting here looking at my recently re-arranged Fraim. There's one empty (standard) level between a NAP500 and an NDS. Above that, on a 'medium' level sits my 552. So I have space above my amp and space above my NDS and the ceiling above my preamp.
But doesn't the empty level look... empty !
A standard level is too low for a bunch of flowers or a pot plant, but high enough that you can see all the wires dangling down at the back, so what do people put in there to make the space interesting? (and I know there are folks who have a lot more than one empty level in their configuration)
I was thinking a dummy classic item; you can buy the black powder coated look-alike sleeves on that auction site, but I've never seen a dummy Naim facia offered. I've got a few vintage things in the loft (amps, tuners, cd players etc), but although they're black in colour (that's color for you guys accross the pond), they just don't look right sitting between Naim boxes.
Anyone solved this problem? (or am I the only one who sees it as a problem?)

I have a large 400 year old one that doesn't see the light of day at the moment - that would seem just right... a mix of ancient history and current technology (a bit like me really with some old bits and some replacement bits... don't ask)
I read what DB has done and thank him for that work; my slight hesitation comes from the use of a candle. SWMBO has a thing about candles... see one, light it, happens every time

Why does the last paragraph remind me of this:
