Typo Michael I meant P3 but I will report back 
Is there an accompanying wall shelf for that?

I would imagine that your property would need a full structural survey before purchasing that…

Just shows the lengths you need to go to in order to try to get a record to play well.
This is a hard topic to fallow.
I kindly ask for your opinion
İ am not a turntable guy but have 1000+ records
Currently collecting cds for my cd555 and enjoying qobuz with nd555
I got a very good offer for a brand new solstice, i would be happy with a plug play system and not change anything

Is this a good sounding turntable/cartridge/phono cut combo?
-
The problem using other cartridges could be a real one if i damage the needle or something
Is it worth to pull the trigger on it? Pros and cons? You can make a nice Rega p10 set with 10k € i guess
Any owners or not owners to enlighten me?

I did have a demo………this may sound stupid but it has a very very Naim like sound………i really liked it. It was just the realisation that i had got so used to skipping tracks with streaming, a TT was not for me.
Perhaps @ChrisBell who owns one can chip in with a more expert comment.

Can you get to hear it Emrei? It’s a good turntable for the money that they are selling for now. Stick with the package as is and it has to be a good option.

I own a Solstice for more than a year now and I have to say that I am very satisfied with it. I listen to my records quite often and I like the SQ even more than playing Tidal or Qobuz my NSS333 + NPX300.
With respect to cables I have replaced the standard Din cable with a Chord Sarum T Din cable which I could buy for a good price (ex demo). The power chord I use is the Chord Epic.

What happened to a lighter counterweight being made? Maybe one is available now Skep!

That’s why I mentioned it to see if there was any uptake for replacement time. 
I posted the last I’d heard on the matter; I was told that a prototype had been made and tested and Naim had got costings. It just needed to be presented to management and given the green light (or not) and then, if a green light given, wait for word on lead times from whoever was making/supplying the part. I’ve not heard anything new since then, unless @110dB has any update.

I’ve been very pleased with the sound of my Solstice and there are a few deals out there that make it an excellent buy. I wouldn’t worry about phono cartridge issues, you will get many years out of the Equinox and any competent turntable shop will be able to fit a replacement when that time comes. We’re all hoping Naim puts the lighter counterweight into production which will make this easier.

I think with cd player and nd555 i would listen 5/6 LPs per week
İ am 51
Who will last longer?
5/6 LPs are good enough for me
How many i need to spin?
One at a time but I wouldn’t invest that much with only 5 or 6 for a collection.
That is not the collection, ı have 1000+ records some new some from my parents some good pressings
5/6 records i will listen per week i meant
Sorry for the English
