System Pics 2016
Posted by: hungryhalibut on 15 December 2015
It's that time of year again, so welcome to System Pics 2016. Let's hope it's a happy and healthy year for everyone.
Here's are a couple of pictures of my stuff to get us started: with the exception of a Powerline everything is changed since this time last year, even the carpet and paintwork.

Are the cupboards bespoke ? Due to a recent new arrival in the family who is now getting more mobile i'm looking to hide the hi-fi !
Thanks James. No, it's a Habitat Max sideboard. Pretty cool as it looks nice and hides everything away too
I think you can still buy them
Super - thanks for the info Lewis
Just had the Radikal and Krystal installed
Beautiful pics and nice rack, Yetizone!

Yes - another Monitor Audio GX300! As far as I know that makes 3 of us on this forum

Yes we like ours, it's part of a full AV setup so they will be staying for a while!
My dealer thinks they will end up being the weak link but we like them. Look good too!

What is amazing how well they responded to all the upgrades I threw at them this year (thank you Nigel B)

Likewise, mine liked the 250dr and there's a lot more detail coming through with the Radikal and Krystal on the turntable.
Mehta have you got with yours?
Details are in my profile

It sort of evolved over time....
Hi Guy's,
Thought I'll add some pictures of my humble set up.
Rega Planar 3, Schiit mani phono stage, Nagaoka MP200
Naim UQ2
Guru Juniors
Sonos Connect
Yetizone posted:As I've just recently entered the world of streaming I thought I'd pop a couple of photos of the new Unitiqute2 into the System Pics 2016 thread. The old chrome bumper Nait2 is now temporarily powered down, but at some point in the coming weeks I may explore using the 'Qute as a source into the Nait2...
System: Unitiqute2 & MCRU No 85 Cable - NACA4 - Monitor Audio R252.
Can I ask where your rack is from?
Wonderful system, Artferg20! (humble perhaps, but only in size and price. (compared to many setups on this topic)
I have a UQ1 and I've read very positive comments about the UQ+Guru Junior combo. My Naim dealer used to stock Guru, but not anymore. 
(I should've auditioned a pair once I had the chance. Sonically I love my little Penaudio's, but I'd like some speakers that can be placed closer to a backwall)
May I ask why you're using a Sonos Connect with your UQ2 ? (I also have one with my UQ1, but I use the Sonos for Spotify premium duties)
kind regards,
Alco
You just have to like & appreciate a picture that accurately depicts the proper proportionality between music and television...

Looks great - I am also impressed with the "Naim green" towel for the remote. Is that available on the Naim website? 
And as to your Nait 2 being presently out of service, I will happily give you my address if you are in a gift-giving mood!

Congratulations on the Radikal and Krystal. The Radikal is an awesome upgrade from a Lingo. Did you take advantage of the bundled Urika too?

From me too - you have impeccable taste

Thanks, no I couldn't stretch to that. I used the new cartridge offer from the Krystal. I got 20 % off the Radikal plus abit more from my dealer. Got Akito arm from a trade in to my dealer and bought the kore new with a bit of discount. Now have quite a few Linn parts to sell!
The jump in performance is amazing, been spinning the records all day, it's like having a fresh collection.
