Need to discuss with naughty Pete, but he was saying we can keep to four levels (base plus three) x2 with a medium height level in both.
But to allow the space for melco n1z, melco ripper and EE switch is two more shelves (so extra one each side). Then a space for second 555 makes six standard on right (so turntable same height as now which is quite comfortable) and five required on left. So six standard on the right and on the left either two medium (plus three standard) or a single tall (plus four standard)? Space is needed for the 500 Plus four standard level items.
So much for cutting down on the fraim
Although the fraim will still be a bit lower than the 808s…
Its all very strange this hifi stuff, as i have experienced now twice, that i can add something and not hear a difference, leave it in for a few days, then remove it, only to go, o thats not good lol.
Whereas before in my ever upgrade journey, its made a difference right from the start, and thats been the yes i will have it or no, its not for me.
Strange really, anyway back on track, best you ring that sparky up and chase him
Not listened to the system for a couple of days - long days of work so not had chance. But listening to a bit of Liza Minnelli and hearing it like never before
Not really looking forward to going through the run in process from scratch again but the end result will be well worth it
trickydickie - fraid not. I had some dreams of keeping the SL2s to go as front speakers in the cinema room (nSats at the moment) but am keeping the cost down by px-ing them, and I have been making efforts this year to cut down on the surplus hifi kit in the house
There will be plenty o Christmas music blaring out when the children and my wife get going. Daughter number two as using the system the other day for the first time ever. Not sure Spotify is quite the thing to test 808s though…
Have agreed with Pete that we are going to be putting the melco (n1z and ripper) and switch on fraim (minimising Ethernet runs between the n1z and the nd555), so I think we will have five levels on the left stack two of which will be medium height, the rest standard, and six standard on the right, marching height- one medium needed for 500 and the other will make space around the nd555 / 552?
Should look very neat - will all be full fat fraim as the dark cherry fraimlite (all with glass and balls) is being traded in against used light cherry full fat
On the basis that going active (on the 808s) even with 3x250s would add three shelves (and 3x300s would add six!), it should be clear why I will never be going active. A single 500 is the limit
glad the speakers are settling in well. ATB Peter
