System Pics 2015
Posted by: hungryhalibut on 21 December 2014
It's the 21st of December, so it's time for the new System Pics thread.
The SuperUniti and UnitiServe are the same as last year, but the Hutter rack and PMC twenty.23s are new.
Oh dear....
Hopefully in about three weeks time we will have a room worthy of the 272/250, with repaired and skimmed walls, skimimed ceiling, a new carpet and a splash of Farrow and Ball. Until then, system No. 2 (the Roberts radio in the kitchen) will be pressed into action and the evenings will pass in the company of a paint brush. This has been long overdue, and when we have visitors we will no longer need to apologise for our squalid living conditions!
That must be the most compact, least intrusive Naim system I've ever seen. How does it sound? 
I'll bet that is the quietest background ever - even quite than a Statement!

Yep, there's no beating that noise floor!
All,
here we go with a first post on this thread. After much moving around of boxes, they are in their current resting place now. At least until a new toy arrives.

Looking at your profile you have a Rega 8 on your wall shelf. Could you tell us what the spoport is
( a pic would be good).

Wouldn't it be better to pull the rug forward between the speakers and put chips under the Fraim and other support?

SheffieldG,
it is a Vulkan from Tiger Paw. I got it very recently as the Rega was on the right top shelf previously. This is not a great support and cannot be levelled properly. I was also trying to improve SQ from vinyl overall after I got my 552. CD came on leaps and bounds but vinyl got worse. So the Vulkan allowed me to move the Superline to a better place and the TT to have a proper support. The Superline was previously in the middle of the brawn stack. Unfortunately I installed the Vulkan a bit high. The phonos reach but just which means any more moving of boxes is more limited by cable lengths.
Here is one pic I have handy. The RP8 was a great step up from the old P5 by hte way. Finish was not the best however.

Sounds like me. I got a few of those black X's before I finally saw a picture appear in the preview window. I had to sign up to Imageshack to post a picture and the free trial is about to end so my efforts above may be my last!

Love that room and setup kiwi cat! My wife uttered a "too large" when she discovered I was after the Ovator 400. I love the look of them and would like to have a chance to listen to them one day. I have the US & SU myself and it is a cracking combination!
Is there room for LPs in the narrow shelves?

Perhaps you should have started by telling her that you were after the Ovator 800s, Mr Fjeld. She might have been very happy to negotiate you 'down' to 400s
