Does anyone have a pdf copy of the Fraim instructions that they can post here or email to me please?

[ChrisSU]

Astonishing though it may seem, the manual is available from Naim’s shiny new website!

In addition to which, of course, you will want Richard’s instructions from the FAQ on this forum:

How to build the Naim Fraim

How to build the Naim Fraim The following guide is designed to allow you to build your Naim Fraim as quickly, easily and effectively as possible. More experienced Fraim users may have developed their own technique or order of build, but the end result should be the same as you would get from following this guide. I have tried to resist dwelling on some of the more “tweaky” aspects but have mentioned the ones I feel are important. Anything that is not absolutely essential I have marked as “opti…

New Fraim, nearly ready for the boxes, but a few questions

So, after 14 months stored away, it’s time for my six black boxes and Titan 606s, to come out to play. Yesterday, I collected my new Fraim and Track Audio Isolation feet from Jack in Harlow, and have just assembled it. The base took me about 30mins, the levels about 15 mins each. I haven’t levelled it or tightened it up yet, as I will do that when I add the boxes, level by level. Just wanted to see what it looked like. I have read on several threads how easy it is for the glass to slide off an…

This thread contains some helpful tips, especially from @HungryHalibut

Thank you guys. Very helpful. One other question please; Do I need to get the glass locator kit or not? And if so do I need a kit for each level?

[HungryHalibut]

No. It’s a waste of space.

Personally, I think they are important. Particularly on the top level. It only takes a slight nudge on those ball bearings and the glass can slide off…the locators prevent this happening. On the lower levels it is not an issue as the legs act as a safety barrier if an accident were to happen (read: my wife constantly banging the hoover into the Fraim despite her agreeing I would clean the lounge forever going forward ).

Great in principle but they don’t stay on. The adhesive loosens so they become ineffective

[What_Are_You_To_Me]

I got some recently from Tom Tom’s Audio who do a really helpful selection of Fraim parts and they are stuck in place very firmly. Maybe there is new adhesive being used?

The other thing I have learned with these 3M type pads is you absolutely HAVE to leave them with the first side stuck down at least 30-60 min before you attach the second side to whatever you are working on. Preferably a lot longer. Otherwise they peel off very easily.
