Equipment Cover

Posted by: Obsydian on 26 February 2018

Does anyone use these seen some on the bay and thought good for dust, but also thinking of moving my Nova into a large kitchen dining area it's open plan, but would get more even more use. My concern was cooking aromas and steam, minor as Nova would be quite a distance from the cooker with a huge extractor good.

Am I being too OCD and these devices are robust?

I would worry that kit would overheat, bearing in mind most Naim equipment is/should be left on.

I use my SuperUniti in the kitchen / dining room - it’s around 5 metes from the cooker. Not a problem for either

I would not cover Naim eqipment with anything. They need air around them to cool - the chassis is the cooling component.

Thanks guys - will look into moving my Nova setup, but torn as it's singing so perfectly yet the move would get so much more use (gets a fair amount at moment).

Resistance if futile....

If you mean "Resistance is futile"

Resistance isn't futile: it's voltage divided by current!

I was trying to quote from Darth Vader....

I thought the equivalent from Darth Vader was "It is useless to resist...".

The most famous use of "Resistance is futile" is the Borg from Star Trek (TNG & later).

But then my brain isn't working right ATM.

Not forgetting "resistance is useless" from the late, great Douglas Adams.
