Pics ‘From the Listening Position’

I’m impressed with the depth of your thought process on this one. I bored of PF by 1978 so much of the detail is lost on me. I know little of Linn amplification other than a demo of their CD12 and Keltiks years ago, driven by their top of the range amplification at that time. Dull as ditchwater is my abiding memory.

Naim makes some wonderfully musical sources, and long may they keep producing them. Music is a thing for the heart and soul, and it’s perhaps a good idea to keep the head out of it, or at least not let it take control.

Thanks @HungryHalibut

Actually there was One More Thing. Last week as I was working on all these issues I received a fresh marketing email from Linn.

I just thought, now, well they really are Taking The Pis(tonik).

Beth Orton last night in Dundee. She hasn’t performed for a few years so doing a few small venues, she was superb.

Hi Edward. Can I ask where you bought the artwork behind the system?


Yesterday at a Fair. Enjoyable.

Hi @Rigsby21 ,

The artwork is actually a tryptic acoustic art panel from GIK Acoustics.

When purchasing art panels form GIK Acoustics, one can either supply ones own photos and artwork image, or select from a few different commercially licenced databases which GIK Acoustics provide via the Art Panel design tool section of their website.

I used the latter method (using the Dreamstime image database) for the art I selected (seven years ago) and by using the ‘reverse’ image lookup method I have located the original art and reference number)…

Ref: 122970153 (on the Dreamstime database).

Hope the above helps.

PS: Maybe auto correct changed ‘Edmund’ into ‘Edward’ in your posting - FYI my account name is ‘Edmund-of-Essex’.

Tunes via Apple dongle and senny momentum iem.. Scorchio!

Thanks Edmund, and no, the error was down to me :disappointed_face:. The reason I asked was that we have something similar, though much smaller, and I idly wondered if they were from the same source and if so, how the hell you’d got them back from Rocamadour :grin:

E’ verissimo!

It’s nice to see a pair of QLN speakers. A few years ago I was about to get a demo of the Prestige 3, when a sudden change in distribution threw a wrench into things.

Agreed-I heard the standmount and small tower on a few occasions and thought they sounded great .

Really nice room there. Are the PMC’s the Prophecy 1’s? I bet they sound great with the naim units atom. It’s a great piece of kit.

They are the active twenty5.21i, coupled with an Atom HE.

Funnily enough, I’m seriously thinking about the Prophecy 1’s to go with my Atom, and like the fact that they’re 6 ohms (would give me a bit of a power boost as a secondary benefit).

Does that mean the speakers are powered? If I remember correctly, isn’t the Atom HE the headphone edition?
