System Pics 2015

that's not a real Fraim rack?

I believe it's "Faux Fraim"   

Not real Fraim, but eventually I will get the real thing, and I can now do it one stack at a time.  But this one does work pretty well.

Thanks, Gary and jason.

Lionel, it looks better in real life (than in the photos).   Perhaps you should have said "Is there such thing as too much equipment?"

Just love the look of your wonderful system. Those speakers look fantastic, and are a great tribute to your DIY skills.

Thank you, Kiwi cat.  It has been a serious challenge to build speakers worthy of such fine equipment as Naim, and of course many hours of labor.  But then most of us love a challenge and the result is quite satisfying.

The last piece of the jigsaw is now in place, and warming up nicely.

Congratulations. We all knew you would.

You are a constant surprise HH!

No more can anyone call you a Hutter fan-boi 

And of course its looking all mighty fine, looking forward to your report on the XPS and what it does for you....once it's warmed up of course!

Wow, looking nice, clean and tidy, HH!  I love it. 

Thanks Alco. I always think your simple systems look wonderful. Maybe it's time for a picture from you?

Room for a Devialet on that empty 4th shelf...

Nice, HH!   That did not take long.  Of course we all new it was inevitable.  ��

You must have the highest SQ/BC ratio available!  (Sound quality per box count)

Thanks, I'm very pleased indeed with it. Loads of boxes are so yesterday. It takes up hardly any space and sounds amazing. And, Graeme, the little gap just happens to be perfect for the iPad to spend the night.

From me  ? ...or my system ? Don't wanna scare anyone, so I better post a systempic then. 

Well, a system doesn't get more simple than this I guess... 

It's a mint s/h 2012 Unitiqute. Got it about 3 weeks ago, for a (little to)no-risk price from a guy that happened to live only a 10 minute walk from my house.

At first I had some network issues, but it's been running fine now. (using Asset)

To me the UQ is probably the best VFM Naim unit currently available.

Nevertheless, I (very much) prefer the Ipeng app for my SBT to Naim's own n-stream or its current Naim app. Sonically the Qute sounds slightly less open and airy than the Sonneteer Campion I used before, but otoh the Qute's versatility is quite appealing.

That looks really lovely, and such a stylish room too. 

+1 nicely photographed too

Alco, what speaker is that..?

They are Pen Audio Rebel 3s. How do I know this? It's in Alco's profile......

Thanx for the kind words, HH and Dayjay. 

I'm a bit into Scandinavian interior, so I'm trying to blend in some of it.

(a mixture of white, grey, a little black and light wood (oak in my case)

I had no intention to buy a UQ btw, but as the seller lived so close to me, and the price was fair, curiosity got over me and I had to surrender to it. 

I'm surprised how powerful the UQ sounds.
I can hardly tell it has 50% less power than the Nait 5si I had/tried earlier this (and last) year. Luckily, the UQ is deadquiet, unlike the 3 Nait 5si's I had at home. ( they all suffered badly from transformer noise)

I had a UQ2 at one point, thought it was an excellent great vfm device

Alco, the UQ really is amazing.  I thought about it when I commented to HH on SQ/BC above.  You two could be tied.  You have great sound in the room with minimal intrusion by equipment.

That looks very nice HH! The wall to wall carpet makes it look both comfortable and luxurious and the system itsel is just so complete and elegant. This is in fact where I plan to end up myself one day! Congratulations with new speakers and XPS!

Lovely mate.  Enjoy. 

Less is more and this is certainly very nice looking!
