System Pics 2018

Posted by: hungryhalibut on 17 December 2017

Welcome to System Pics 2018.

To start things off, here are a couple of pictures of my setup. There have been some big changes over the past year; a 300 and a 555PS, and some extra shelves to accommodate them.

Sounds fabulous.

Oooh.  Mooi Nederlandse huis

If one of us went that far off topic you’d be ticking us off!!

Not at all, Nigel. I would argue that it's still very much on topic - it's a gorgeous wrapper on a rather special Naim system within.

That's the prettiest and most expensive 'rack' I've even seen support a Naim system.

Ooh what beast, is the Naim system a standard fit, it is not listed in the options.

It’s the ndstatement on the photo.  No need a rack.  

Sorry should have clarified, the BENTLEY GT

It is so big that it can be the new big beast:  the ndstatement, with a Bentley look like

There was also the latest Naim for Bentley system, as found in the almost achingly gorgeous new Continental GT. 

Forget Ferraris, Porsches, Aston Martins, Rolls Royces - this is my dream car. A thing of great beauty, and if I ever win the Lottery it'll be the first thing I order. If only I bought the tickets.

The Naim for Bentley system is the top audio option on the Continental GT.  You have the basic system, the B&O system as a mid grade option and then the Naim for Bentley system at the very top.

Sold it a few months ago, found myself listening to the 272 most of the time and it just collected dust. I miss it though bloody good player and to me the Michell Gyrodec is the finest looking deck ever built.

Had an issue with the picture I previously posted when viewing using an Android device or Google Chrome, reduced picture size and re-posted as I was unable to edit the original post.

Recently moved rooms and traded in the white Tab 10 for the Tab 10 Signatures in cherry this has now become my dedicated listening room

Difficult to determine I imagine given the new room, but can you say anything about the change to the sig. version?

Cheers

I ran my previous Tabs for a few weeks in this room and they sounded gorgeous but wanted a cherry pair to match the Fraim so I thought I would go for the signatures.

Picked up the signatures today so plenty of running in to do plus the 250dr has been off all day but from the first note there's a definate difference much fuller sound slightly deeper bass and a hint of more detail.
