System Pics 2019

I was going to ask the same thing - looks really cool.

I also like the way that lowest platform make the “under rack” space another useful spot.

That looks pretty good Bob.

If you can be bothered I would swap the castors for spikes, if it is possible, on both aesthetic and sonic grounds.

I hope you enjoy your ‘pre-loved’ system. It certainly shouts ‘play me’.

Yes Nigel thank you I’m enjoying it very much.
Adding spikes is the plan but as I dont have them at the moment and because playing music was more important it’s being used as and I have to say that being able to wheel the whole thing out to access the back is a real bonus.

Looked home made. Is that cork?

No it s bamboo panels

Very nicely done!

Probably the happiest times in stereo music for me was when i had the Naim CD5XS + Naim Nait 5i-2 + Naca 5…

As our aspirations rise… so do expectations and therefore complications…

Simplicity reminds you of why we are here in the first place…

njoi the music !

do put up a full pic with speakers…

Spikes will be aesthetically good as well… but i suppose that can wait.

I’ts actually the heaviest rack I’ve ever owned which seems to suit the Technics.

Habitat, early noughties IIRC.

Very much my experience and what prompted me to go back to my own basics. My very unscientific findings so far are that you can pay an awful lot of money and put in a lot of effort for less than a 5% increase in SQ.

The original Naim dealer for whom I worked used a “back of the envelope” formula that in hifi, a doubling in expense results in an approximately 10% improvement in SQ.

I seem to have followed the law of fives in that most of my upgrades are about 5 times the cost of the item I replaced. I suspect occult forces.

Ha ha… funny but true!

A Statement is roughly 5 times the price of 552/500, just saying. :grinning:
