Naim fraim advice

So after some bullying and harassment on here I finally pulled the plug on a fraimlite 6 levels hopefully. Step up from the ash designs I was using so… 2 questions can I use the glass from the ash designs on the fraim and number 2 how would you configure the set up by shelf cds3 has to be top then?
Nds
555ps
252
SC
Nap250
Thanks

All PS’s to the bottom, I think is the general rule.

Inc amp?

No, the NAP can go higher up.

I have:

CDX2
82
250
XPS2
HC

Applying the same logic to yours, we would get:

NDS
252
250
555PS
SCap

YMMV, as always.

Good stuff I always assumed amp to the bottom as it was the heaviest …

Ermm… Have your compared your NAP vs your SCap…? About the same…?

Honestly can’t remember just the 250 was a big lump

Lovely setup, have you ordered the Fraim lite? If I am totally honest your system really warrants a full Fraim. :confused:

I don’t think there is much to choose, between my NAP250 and my XPS2… Hang on…

Latest (DR) versions:

250 - 15,8kg
SCap - 14,2kg
XPS2 - 12,4kg

I would not want to drop any of them… :thinking:

Eventually Popeye but I picked this up for a bargain to see if there’s a difference between the old ash designs

The other reason was the chord signature speaker cables were easier when the amps situated at the bottom

By ‘ash designs’ do you mean the ones which were sold by Henley Designs? If so, I’ve got two of those - they do the job and I like the look.

This ash designs unfortunately too small now but yeah lovely piece of kit

I’ve seen 2 of these side by side… very nice

I have just one ‘stack’ of Isoblue - with… 5 levels.

My LP12 remains, alongside, on a Sound Factory Tripods stand.

2 stacks,

CDS3 XPS
NDS 555PS
252 SC
250

Brain and brawn

Agree but only if @erchie84 has space for a side by side rack arrangement…

If he is adding the glass shelves he already has, then he will have a full Fraim expect for the double base, for a much lower price :sunglasses:
