It's been an expensive week, Fraimlite addition

Posted by: Ancient Mariner on 01 December 2017

After buying some new loudspeakers (ATC SCM11 in cherry) and stands (FS104 Signature) last week, I have deiced to treat myself again today with a Fraimlite. One base level and two additional levels in black, I will be collecting it tomorrow morning. Really looking forward to having everything installed properly. I'll just have to wait for another 3 weeks or so for the speakers to arrive. I think the cherry ATC will look really nice next to the black Fraimlite.

Just finish building my Fraimlite, much easier than I thought it would be and the sound improvement is just unbelievable. Much cleaner highs and bags more detail coming through, along with a really tuneful bass. The sound is more organic and you can really connect with the music. I knew there would be a considerable improvement, but honestly not by this much. Oh and I forgot to mention, it looks absolutely stunning. To say I am happy is an understatement

+1 on the pictures.

I added full Fraim earlier in the year and agree the improvement is amazing. Anyone wonder if/If not to get Fraim should just do it !

Very nice indeed. Just finished building my second hand 2 base 4 shelf Fraim, very easy to assemble. Problem, it’s placement is the usual space for the Xmas tree. Had to lose the battle, to win the war. Picking up a Nap 300 dr next week, that’s the......2018 Xmas present on the new Fraim.

Thanks Gazza, yes I'm also about to put my Christmas tree up, but the system stays put . I bet you can't wait to have the 300DR in your system. Looking forward to reading about it.

Good move having the bottom shelf empty.

Indeed, an empty shelf — another treat in the pipeline? Three weeks until Christmas is a long time... crazy

FraimLite features the same tripod-style configuration, carefully optimised shelf spacing and high-quality material construction of our reference-quality Fraim.

It retains the cup-and-cone interface system used by its bigger brother too, but omits the dual layer base and ball-bearing decoupled glass shelf. Reference Fraim levels can be incorporated into the same system as FraimLite so that you can upgrade to our top of the range equipment support on a level-by-level basis.

That looks stunning Ancient mariner, you have definitely helped make my mind up in aiming for a black Fraimlite !

Yes Timo I do have plans for the empty shelf. But unfortunately not before Christmas ????

Thanks Stephen, I was undecided for months on which colour combination to buy. But always loved the all black version, especially with the Naim logo in green.

That calls then for another thread in the not so distant future, hopefully...

Happy First Advent!
