System Pics 2015

Yes - they are from plastic kits - I actually have a couple more to be built, and am at the place in my life where I begin to wonder if I will ever get a "round tuit"...that row of books just below the models is all ocean liner history & info too.

DrMark, awesome axe's. I'm a drummer but play a little guitar also. Have Gibson and Martin acoustics, Tele and Strat. Someday would like to give a banjo a go.

built a DiY sealed subwoofer to add to my 2.0..

besides... this year.. i switched from the Technics SL 23 to Technics SL 1210

My rig is not half as beautiful as many others on the forum but i am quite satisfied with the way the sound they make.

Maybe i will post another pic after the sub-woofer is veneered / painted etc..

here they are....and have a great week ahead !

mpw

I used to love kits from Revell etc. but never did anything close to the scale you have there. Looks great!

That's a nice room mpw! 

Thank you Mr Fjeld..

am brushing up my photography skills

Congrats, HH. I'm about to join the 272 owners' club too - mine arrives tomorrow.

Given the previous evolution of your system, I will be very interested in your thoughts once the 272 runs in. Enjoy!

NIgel - I was looking (longingly) at your setup and a thought just occurred to me - shouldn't you need a PS to run a 250?  Or am I confusing it with a different amp?  (The things I forget scare me sometimes!)

Dr Mark,I think the 300 and 500 need power supplies as they are 2 boxes, but the 250 and 200 are stand alone in that regard.

DrMark - you're getting slightly confused.  A 250 can't power a pre-amp (well, in the traditional sense) and you need a HiCap etc. to power the pre.  The 272 is a new beast and obviously has its own power supply.

Ah - so I had it backwards, and the 250 could not power the pre-amp,  Can you add a HC to the 272 to any positive effect?

No, the 272 uses Naim's source power supplies, not the pre-amp ones as you would suspect.

The upgrade-path for the 272 is via Naims "digital" PSUs (XP5 XS, XPS or 555 PS). A HC will not worke here.

Has anyone tried the 272 direct to active/amplified speakers skipping the traditional amp set up?

Hmmm, I'll try again :-/

Thanks,

Yes, I'm toying with taking them out of the box. In a world of "can't be arsed", the extra effort of extracting the records from the box may be discouraging me from playing them

I think the ceramics above the US look wonderful.   The white box is inspiring too.

Indeed, well spotted.

The dog shaped acoustic diffuser must also improve the ambiance of the room...
