Nearly forgot this. It's on an Audiotech wall shelf near the hot seat.

Mr Tibbs

That's nice! With a RB1000?

It must be the new Naim Stealth 1 mega-amp.

Yes. I've stuck my Muso on top of the Fraim that usually holds them, no mystery box, just glass shelves. I've just connected the telly to the Muso using Blutooth, works a treat.

Looks like a small single floorstander behind centre of Muso. ??

n-Cent. On its side.

Nearly correct - 'tis a Naim Axess on its side.

Have you experimented with positioning the MuSo on the Fraim?

Naturellement!  After much experimentation I found that by moving the Muso 2mm further forward and adding a 6mm diameter lump of Blu-Tack to the left rear corner it utterly transformed the sound.

Did it sound broken before the blu tack?

A 3cm by 3cm square of paper under the back left foot would sound much better than blutac. 

Anyone using beer felts for this purpose?

I hadn't realized that he had "departed" ... nutty as hell but a character who definitely added some humanity to the industry.

Indeed...and always a good benchmark to calibrate one's sanity check by.

Chrome Bumper combo being prepared and cleaned.

250 is now gone, exchanged with a mint Nap 140 (Nac 62 up, left right HC and 140)

42 & XS now at rest, the latter will be eventually moved next week in the basement along with nSats

I played a couple of cd early this morning and it was really huge fun. it seems that 140 + 400s is a marriage made in heaven. Yo my ears it  shows a more open and fast sound to the 250 i owned, an old '82 example with 001 power devices. It cleaerly improved after recap but i still prefer the 140. Oh even about sounstage, the sound  seems now more out of the box with of a very nice focus of voices. In fact  even with a seating position of nearly 4m away there is a nice focus while before i was forced to get closer.

This is the 3rd 140 i'm owning, the first one in 1987, i bought a second one in November last year but sold it since it was not cosmetically perfect
