Which makes for quite an easy upgrade…
Thanks Badlyread.
Neil has insider knowledge!
Yes, an F7 that I bought with the PT Export recently, by far the loveliest sounding deck I have owned, and actually really easy to set up in the context of fully suspended decks. The arm is a masterpiece, and totally twiddleable for every possible adjustment you could imagine, just takes a while to set up.
Does anyone know what a spot on one should sound like, if there are so many variables?
Yup, it’ll sound really great! But seriously, it’s all very old kit now (the earliest NAC42s and NAP110s are now 40 years old!) so all bets are off. Best is to try a bunch and pick the best, or just hope you get lucky. Even the poorest will still sound good in comparison to most kit of a similar age, just not as good as it could.
My current setup consists of: naim nait 2 (just serviced) + roksan xerxes / tabriz zi / adikt / psu + harbeth p3esr se / dnm reson.
I really love the sound but I’d prefer more restrained bass.
do you think that replacing the DNM cable with a Linn K20 / naca a4 can help me?
A few of my system in many of it’s various guises;
And current. I still have my 135’s I just swap them out with my bolt down 250 every once in a while. I used to really not like the bolt down design but now I love it. Funny how your tastes change!
Lovely looking setups. Very tidy and look great to my eyes.
Amazing setups, Lewis, really nice!
lovely setup Lewis.
if I remember correctly you have a CB version of armageddon, right?
Thanks fellas. Yes that’s a CB Armageddon!
Oh, I like those! Very old-school Naimy…
I have just put Linn K12 on my 62/HiCap/140 and it seems to be doing a very good job - and a total bargain too as still available new.
What are the cable grommets holding the NACA5?
Indeed, wonderful looking Naim logo style cable grommets, great way to handle NACA5.
I now remember having seen them before on Lewis’ Instagram some time ago. Very creative!
do you sell it ?
what about p3esr?
have you ever made a comparison between nait2 and nap140 / 62 / hicap?
At the moment I ride them with the nait2 but I am waiting for the service nap250 / 62 / hicap even if perhaps the 140 would be better than the 250
Would look forward to reading these comparisons as well
What stand do you use either the P3esr?
If the CB gear is staying (and I completely understand if it is) then what a waste of the Atom if it is only there for streaming duties! Why not sell it and get a dedicated streamer? Plenty of small things out there. I personally have an AURALiC Aries Mini which does a fantastic job.
Just a thought.
