System Pics 2017

Posted by: hungryhalibut on 17 December 2016

Welcome to System Pics 2017. To get us started here is a picture of my setup: other than longer legs on the rack and some new wires, it's just the same as last year.

Tony, have you ever considered placing the DBLs on the long wall, ie where the electronics are now?

Very well, if I must - 

Spectacular! Sorry for the new-to-Naim question, but why would you need 3 NAP 500s (assuming that's what I'm seeing on the second to bottom shelves of all three Fraims) for one pair of Speakers? Maybe "need" isn't the right word, but still... Also, what is that unit on the top right stack of Fraim?

@Tonym

Spectacular it is, But a question Tony! 

Where is your sweet spot for listening? 

Aktiv Fan!

With 3 x NAP 500s, I'd imagine Swansea.

No, they'd be too close, & it's not a natural place for them in the room.

My bedroom system: 

Apple MacMini, Linn Axis, Naim and KEF xQ20.

Here is my latest set up with recent change from isoblue to fraim and daleks stepping in for the nibbles.

PS Paintings have yet to be returned to their homes following decorations, etc.

Here is my system pic. I am looking to make the best out of my KEF ref 1s, and looking to replace the Krell in that pic with maybe a Naim.

As an NBL owner myself, I'm afraid to ask, but what has become of your nibbles? One can but hope it's only a temporary displacement.

My nibbles have been placed carefully in a spare room and wrapped in a removals blanket.  They aren't going anywhere until I have certainty that daleks are definitely a satisfactory replacement.  There are some aspects of the nibbles sound presentation which is lovely and I want to make sure the infamous B+W plodding bass line does not raise its head in my room to spoil the show!  Initial signs are positive but I've only just got the daleks and it will be a while contemplating.  The nibble crates remain in storage for now!!

@ Nemo78 - you can embed pics on this forum (not sure about anyone else, but all I see in your post is the link, rather than the pic - maybe it's just me, though?) - just in case, here's yours.

 

 

No Naim!!! But you're appartment looks nice.

Feng shui ?? Serious Bedroom hifi means to me not calm but happy, maybe the intention, but I would be more distracted in keeping that needle in the cartridge dust and fluff free - than sleeping.

No need to feel guilty - since you are looking to possibly replace your Krell with a Naim, you will have the opportunity to contribute to one of the favorite sports on the Forum: suggesting how to spend other people's money!

I am interested to know where you are located (city) - the view off to the right gives the impression that you are really high up in the air in that flat. Looks very nice.

The sleep is OK, the needle as well. Beside the pleasure from the music having 5 Naim logos on is helpful when the light is off. To avoid obstacles in the dark.

Allante93, 

I enjoy it as often as I can. This Sunday due to the bad weather I played 6 records bought the day before.

Perhaps time to update your profile then, achique99? That pre-amp doesn't look like the one in your profile.

Robiwan, Yes they are Allaes and in active.

MDS, just updated it. Thank you.

Cheers.

Those grills look a lot more blacker.  Lovely with some late evening light shining through.
