New from Naim – Solstice Special Edition turntable

Hi Richard, I also have a Solstice and would love the light counterweight, too.

Thanks so much

Tony

Your profile does not mention a 'Solstice ?

Sorry about that. I can’t figure out how to edit my system in the profile. You’ll see from this thread I have chimed in and also posted pictures on the system pics thread.

Hi Richard - thanks for the updates. If you could please add me to the list for the counterweight that would be much appreciated.

I want one!

I am interested, definitely want one

I just hooked up my SuperCap DR and my SuperLine to the Solstice. I recently moved from a house on the west coast of Norway to an apartment in Oslo, so getting the Solstice up and running has not been a priority. For me, the 500-series and Solstice (and the Niimbus HPA) with Harbeth 40.2s are all simply awesome. And although everything can be bettered all the time, I don’t ever feel the need for more, or for something new and different. But I still find it interesting when other people venture for more.

Awesome system! Superline/Supercap realizes the full potential of the Solstice/Equinox deck. I highly recommend 1k and 100R airplugs which do make an audible difference and are worth the effort.

Enjoy.

Who told you that?
Their house sound is completely different! Have you tried their cartridges at all?
Lyra is owned by Scantech run by Stig Bjorge. Not part of Dyna.

Not completely different Kuma. They share the “y “.

The exchange two posts down from the one you quote clears things up. Always worth a bit of a read further on, that next but one post, and the following 3, are all very clear and amicable :slight_smile:

That’s pretty much the full extent of it.

Thanks! I have these two already. Is the 1k and the 1NF not the same?
Or do you mean 1kR?

I will get the suitable Airplugs. It’s nice to have a collection for different cartridges.

Did you get anywhere wrt to a BNC tonearm cable?

İ am getting my counter weight hopefully soon

Many thanks to Naim and Richard

I am enjoying mine :slight_smile:

I spoke with Chord and they can make a Music cable with BNC adapters for the Solstice… hope to order one someday.

Long story, I ended up with a new Equinox. Fresh out of the box it sounds great. My long 2 weeks of digital-only agony is over.

Hi Richard. Not been on here for a while but got an email from Naim regarding the new counterweight. They mentioned you had put my name forward so thanks for that. I will certainly be taking one!

I’m in no hurry to get a new tonearm cable, but it’s nice to know there are options. I have ordered the Airplugs and a whole lotta vinyl records!
