Rack or roll- Another boring rack question
Posted by: rod ayling on 05 May 2004
Hi,
I will shortly be purchasing a Naim fraim to be used alongside an additional existing Hutter rack, to house my 12 items of mostly Naim equipment. ( Unfortunately, I don't have the room nor finances to house 2 Fraims).
The equipment I have is as follows:-
CDS3,XPS2,252,SUPERCAP,300,300 PS = 6 BOXES
AV2, DENON DVD, 145, 200 = 4 BOXES
HEADLINE,HI-CAP = 2 BOXES
2 channel hi-fi obviously takes priority over the AV equipment and I am pondering whether it is better to make the most of the Fraim itself + site all of the 6 items for the 2 channel set up on the Fraim or make the most of the isolation of the brain/brawn items and place the power supplies for the brain items on the 'lesser' Hutter rack and site items like the AV2/DVD player on the Fraim. I appreciate that both the AV2 and DVD will benefit from the qualities of the Fraim.
Which is in your valuable opinions, the better rack arrangement for all round sonic benefit ? Please see two possible options below
OPTION 1
Hutter Fraim
AV2 CDS3
DVD 252
HEADLINE 300
200 XPS2
145 SUPERCAP
HICAP 300 PS
OR
OPTION 2
Hutter Fraim
XPS2 CDS3
SUPERCAP 252
300PS 300
145 AV2
200 DENON DVD
HICAP HEADLINE ( Headline is used quite alot)
Also, for a matter of interest, how often would you recommend disconnecting/reconnecting up the system to perform the Din/Burndy self cleaning exercise, once or twice a year ?
Many thanks for your help,
Rod
