Quadraspire

Posted by: dektop100 on 04 April 2017

I'm looking to properly site my various Naim boxes and Quadraspire looks like my kind of budget. Is it OK?

I too use two quadraspire bamboo racks on my naim active set up and am well happy with them. 

James, can I ask what is the smaller rack you have there with the Nas and router on it ?

Thanks

Not mine John - just reposting PCD's picture which wasn't displaying in the original post.

James , thanks for sorting the picture have used this Quadraspire rack  for a number of years adding the SVT upgrade last year when my new black box system was installed.

 

John, I made the small rack myself earlier this year the NAS and router were originally installed on the lower level of the rack but with an upgrade from a 250dr to a 300dr plus the Core I need the additional spaces.

As I had some spare uprights I used these along with the solid Oak timber as shown.The timber I found on the well known auction site at the size shown already prefinished just had to drill the holes and give them a treatment of Danish oil very pleased with the end result

Not to sure if the EE router needs the SVT upgrade though ??

James once again thanks for your help.

It's unclear from the photo but I assume the EE router and HDD etc are on a separate distribution block to the Naim or better still a different spur?

Naim fed from a Music Works Reflex Lite ,Router and other stuff from a Wireworld Matrix Block all from a separate spur.

Been using various Naim since 1983 never had any problems with mains noise, transformer hum etc must be lucky with my electricity supplier.

Perfect solution sir, my favoured solution too.

Easy to dust, doesn't go out of tune. Ideal if you are a little lazy.

HH you got the bronze upgrade for the top shelf, nice

What heights are the SVT shelves you ordered?

it's a nice looking system with only 3 boxes and 2 power cables.

2 racks of Q4 here for my 252/300/LP12's etc. Delighted with it.

The columns are 180mm. I think the 140mm versions look nicer but I needed to keep the din to XLR wire off the floor.

Quadraspire here - 2 stacks.

Two racks mixed Q4/Q4evo and one of SVT. All are pre-bamboo mdf core/cherry veneer. Is the difference marginal or clear with bamboo shelves?

SVT would have the added benefit of better ventilation for amps otherwise quite expensive to replace 16 shelves with SVT.
