I hope its worth it?

Posted by: wenger2015 on 15 February 2018

After much deliberation I have decided to order two Full Naim Fraims, base plus three shelves in Black.

Having spent sometime researching Racks and looking at other options, I have convinced myself that despite the considerable cost that it will be money well spent.......

I am very much hoping that I won’t be disappointed???????

You bu**er Wenger. And I was Just preparing to write a 'disgusted of Chesham' note on your behalf.

Wenger, what a bast!!!! I bet you've got the wrong colour Easter Eggs as well??

Yes, the clue was in the word ‘unbelievable ‘ ...

Hopefully build will be completed today.

And possibly the fact that maple was discontinued about three years ago....

Hope it all goes horribly wrong!!!!!!

In return for all of the anxiety you have inflicted on your fellow forum members we expect copious amounts of pictures as you finally build this thing Wenger! Enjoy....

After such a long wait, I’m certainly looking forward to that first listen, no doubt the process of disconnecting, reconnecting cables, interconnects ect ect will provide an uplift as well ....

Thanks to my good mate Finkfan, I really do think it’s a two man job, build is completed 

Posted on: 01 April 2018 by wenger2015

Now for the first listen??? I feel somewhat tense, to say the least....

Posted on: 01 April 2018 by Finkfan

Thanks for a great afternoon Wenger. A quality bit of kit, well engineered. Enjoy! 

I’ll pop back later for a listen.

You really need to move your kit from between your speakers...

That looks very nice Wenger. I hope it sounds better too.

Very smart. Good job guys ????????

First impressions, the engineering, design of the fraim  is extremely impressive, everything is of a very high standard and quality, it’s certainly a very precise build,  attention to detail is very evident.

First listen impressions?

I’m certainly not one to exaggerate or get overly excited, but I feel extremely relieved because from the off the level of performance upgrade is significant.

No doubt time has to be given for everything to bed in but....

i am noticing an extra level of clarity, crispness, image depth, so far I am absolutely blown away.

Need a cup of tea...

I agree. A more detailed, agile sound from the boxes now. It’s easier to hear subtle details in the music. Great upgrade.

Why the medium and not the standard ?
