I hope its worth it?

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???????
I looks excellent and I'm sure that it makes a big difference. I am also a fan of medium space Fraim 
Looks really nice WENGER,I am glad it all worked out well for you.Myself I did not hear THAT significant an improvement when I added my Fraim,but I do not regret buying it for one minute.I just wonder if in your case,a supercap DR would of brought more??

Possibly in my case the previous rack I was using, despite my adaptations to it, was far worse then I realised....hence the Significant improvement....
as for SC dr, logically that’s the next move for me, but I’m quite happy to just enjoy this upgrade

Would depend on whether No Quarter had medium legs like you or long legs. These do make a difference, as does cable dressing and other aspects of setup.
Enjoy the fact that you are getting big benefits!

Yes, I thought it would be a good idea to have the extra height with the medium legs, keeps those burndies nicely off the floor, helps with the other interconnects,, plus some boxes benefit with having more space
Actually I have one set of tall legs on the bottom shelf,and three regular shelves above.Cables are all dressed,nothing touches the floor,or any other cable.Top shelf is 272,below it is Core,below that is my Teac CD/DSD player,next is the 250 DR,and on the bottom(with tall legs) is the XPSDR.It might be just that I had a good solid setup before I bought the Fraim...it did sound better,just not earth shattering.

Sounds like you have got your set up just right.
I assume the Sopra’s are staying?

Have you considered moving the core away from the rest of your system? I found doing that with my UnitiServe made a difference.
