Hi Andy check with you on this , with the vavaldi clock , how much improvement compare to the Rossini clock ? Thanks and btw , awesome Rossini and vavaldi you have , and of cos the rest of your kits cheers !
Many thanks @naimophile The Vivaldi clock is a league above the Rossini. I guess this is only to be expected. Whether it is worth the extra money, only you can decide that. Try and listen to both, in your room, side by side if at all possible.
The Rossini clock is very good, Vivaldi better, but at this price point there is an element of “diminishing returns” in play. I felt that NAIM had lost its way on streaming, with ageing DAC chips, and have no regrets in upgrading my ND555/555PS to the dCS combination. Good luck in your journey.

Here in the Toronto area we haven’t really had winter. Yesterday the high was 20 degrees (C)… strange to say the least.
I traded mine in 10 years ago

System looks wonderful @Andyblain.
Can you tell me about what you do for centre speaker? I notice you have an AV processor.
Reason I ask is I have surround sound system and main Naim system in same room. I use a speaker switch to switch between AV amp and my 500DR. And can switch speakers into another room.
Am interested how you have worked it all out.
Thanks in advance.

The TV (Sony 65 AG9) has a built in ‘Centre channel mode’ with a centre speaker in the whole of the screen.
I had a separate centre speaker before, and was very sceptical about this set-up. However, the performance is surprisingly good, and I am extremely happy with it. And it avoids another box. I use. Martin Logan sub, MK surrounds and KEF Atmos speakers. It all works well.
Separately Dan, I hope that you are keeping well and managing to keep spirits high. Stay strong and keep fighting

Thanks Andy, much appreciated.
I feel my TV is too high up so a TV with integrated centre speaker sounds very interesting.
I am working, keeping fit while having chemo and staying positive.
