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.

My update for this thread.. a newly added 2nd system (living room) and some shots of my Kitchen Muso just because :-)

The last pic is of my bulldog Holly who tolerated me moving her on the couch so I could take the pictures and was only mildly put out by the whole interruption to her normal afternoon routine of napping.

ZHB,

the new iotas, very interesting. I see they are able to fill a large room with music. I'd be very interested in hearing them.

Beautiful pics, and absolutely superb portrait of Holly..

I'm in awe of much of what's posted on here. Last 2 posts, triple stack of chrome bumpers - lovely - then ZHB 's gorgeous fotos, room, dog. Very tasteful ZHB, no wonder your pooch is looking so chilled!

@ZHB, The Iota Alphas! Have my appointment scheduled to audition them. Is the Unitilite capable to drive them?

Use the same myself in a second system very good, what speaker cable will
you be using found NAC A5 works really well.

The unitilite drives them no problem. At some point I'll put them on the end of my 300 DR just for kicks to see the difference... but they sound great connected to the Unitilite. Be prepared though.. they are disarmingly tiny when you see them in the flesh for the first time. I was expecting small speakers, but when I got to the dealer I was taken aback. They are really really small.

Heard them at the dealer on the end of a 300 quite incredible for their
size kept looking for bigger speakers ?

Probably the best miniature system I've ever heard was a Unitiqute paired with Iotas.

Never heard or seen iotas. But the atc scm11s are stunning. But need a 250 hanging off a unitiqute to make them rock. And boy they do

is it naughty or nice to covet that Nait2 as I am right now?

as the late, great man once said, simply irresistible. surely i should have a Nait 2 on hand in case lightning strikes my 250, right?

Very nice Higgi!

How do you find the DPS phono? Have not heard much about it and I am intrigued..

ATB,

Mark

With my Koetsu Black it is a fantastic combination. Without having to adjust something, it also fits with many other pickups. Ortofon, Benz Micro

Thanks Higgi!

Nothing new (except a Bluetooth receiver connected with DC1 to NDX). Very enjoyable system. Enjoy

Nice system, but no seperate PS for Stageline? Connecting the Stageline to the aux2 compromises the SN2 performance.
