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.

Dave,

 

i love the look of that Statement in your room and I am very pleased for you.

 

But it is a shame to have that Fraim with two black boxes next to it as they look so much like something from last century,which of course they are In terms of looks!

 

Shame you haven't got a cupboard to hide them in or better still for Naim to produce a Statement source system 

 

Richard

 

p.s. back to my last century system with black boxes, interconnects, racks et. al.

Wow, I just came up to catch up with this thread and looked through the last three pages! Stunning systems hifi galore and even a Statement amp on display, and then there are so many beautiful rooms. I think both Hugh Craig and Rackkit must be among the best looking of many good looking rooms in this thread?

Sure would... Can't afford the full works, but S1Pre vs. 500DR plus new speakers may be on the cards....

Hi Dave,

Nice work Dave and congratulations Minky. I wouldn't mind one of those blingy blue ethernet sockets.

Ha !! No, it's a black socket with the faceplate removed because one of the Ethernet cables I've been given to try doesn't click with it on.

 

Probably not the place for this, but the whole audiophile Ethernet thing does my head in.

Well done Dave, great to see and MASSIVE congratulations to Minky.
 
I'm just wondering if speakers could talk what those NBL's would of said when the "full" Statement "rocked up"!!!!!!!!!!
 
S**T lets rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, bet the NBLs never expected a Statement up 'em!

They are undoubtedly the happiest pair of NBL's on the forum ????

I just love the simple elegance of this system. Even though there are a variety of brands of box, everything gels well visually and I am sure sonically.

My humble system from my listening position.... sock missing from these pics

Why thank you Mr F! I'll admit a lot of thought, time & effort went into putting the system & room togethe. Oh and few £££s!

Wow - I went to work 14 hours ago and all hell broke loose on the system pics thread!

 

A lot of really cool stuff, and the Statement is an unexpected treat!

I also had to buy an amp to complete the second system - managed to pick up a Nait 5i 2 at a reasonable price.  I have updated my profile with full system details.

 

Both systems sound great by the way AND the SM is happy!

 

Main system:

Second system (still a bit of plasterwork to be done!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers

Liking the colour scheme Hugh, we have similar tastes! Will you be burying the cables to the TV in the wall to hide them?

+ 1
 But it's curious that with such system there is a single 555psu for the NDS, also as  Darke Bear  teaches us
the source would be better on a second Fraim.

Never thought when I posted pics of my 2 channel system that we have some AV fans on here too.....



And one with the beast unveiled ....

Thanks rackit.
Yes, the long term plan is to bury the leads in some conduit in the wall but my good lady isn't too bothered by it and she has a list of more pressing jobs she wants me to do!

Always nice to see new pics of D15 ogives. A timeless speaker.

Just curious, why removing the bases and why positioning them with the tweeters inside hence possibly for a narrower stage image?

@rackkit
The maple and silver Fraim are a beautiful combination and they complement your decor perfectly.
