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???????

Wrap them in foil first.  Then the sparks will fly

Yes, I’m becoming increasingly confident the outlay will be worth it......??

Wenger I’ll be passing through Salisbury over the weekend if you need me to pick up that Fraim?? 

Posted on: 09 March 2018 by wenger2015

As I post, their has been no updates on delivery, I don’t know if it’s been returned to base, or in a warehouse somewhere...... not heard anything from our dealer???? Most frustrating..... perhaps you could knock on the door at head office and make polite enquiries..... that said it might be best to keep the windows of the car up and speed through.....some of those nasty chemicals from Russia might still be in the air....

@Wenger2015 any update? Are you still awaiting delivery?

Posted on: 16 March 2018 by wenger2015

Unfortunately, still waiting......dealer suggested it would arrive end of last week....but it still hasn’t arrived.....

My dealer is busy renovating a new  showroom and organising a new web site so don’t like to keep on at him....

So I’m still waiting in eager anticipation.....

Posted on: 16 March 2018 by Finkfan

Shame Wenger. Fingers crossed for next week. 

Posted on: 16 March 2018 by wenger2015

Would you believe I have just this minute had an email from my dealer.

The fraim has arrived today at the dealers and will be sent out on Monday of next week.

Interestingly the long delay has been due to issues with the finish on the glass shelves!!!!!

secondly the fraim was returned to headquarters due to the snow

Posted on: 16 March 2018 by Finkfan

Great news Wenger 

Posted on: 16 March 2018 by wenger2015

I’m a little concerned about this issue with the finish on the glass shelves???

I would assume Naim would not dispatch unless they were completely happy with the finish??

Posted on: 16 March 2018 by Finkfan

I’m sure that’s the case 

Maybe after alll that snow the glass arrived frosted

Presumably Naim’ Fraim Tuner couldnt hear the correct ‘ping’, or it pinged (pang?) on both sides...

Here we go.....just a few steps away from rubbing balls

I can’t remember as I have been waiting for so long,

What noise am I supposed to listen for??

is it a ping, a pang, a dink or a donk??

Wenger,

It has been years since I last pestered you in your cables days, but since the question of worthiness repeats itself here I want to wish you the best frame of mind when the Fraims show up.

Five pages of post and still not delivered........ I can hardly wait for what might actually follow delivery and set up!
