Dali! Very good.
No, it’s because my room is vibrating a lot. The floor is suspended wood. These stands helped really a lot. Not very nice but sound first.
There are also finite elemente cerabases under the porting corners.
It could be Dali but it’s a polish painter. ( on the left).
I am tall and I listen not lying on the sofa. However it’s a compromise.
Without the stands, I could only have stand mounts speakers in that room. The building is from 1730.
Looks awesome!
Gear is the same but I needed a change so I swiped the original Chord interconnect (which came along the 3.5) with a Nordost Red Dawn. The sound now is much more opened, transparent, detailed and favoring the highs. Zoot Sim’s saxophone has a larger bite and seems a few steps closer.
Great picture indeed Haim…
Haim, you are a great photographer. I remember from the nice photos thread. So you are able to post a clearer pic. Or is there some effect I have not seen?
That looks like a Luxman tuner. My barber a fan of high end Hi-Fi in the early 1970’s raved about Luxman (now he raves about Naim). No talk of holidays when I go for my hair cut it’s music and Hi-Fi!
He inspired me to buy that exact same tuner back in late 80’s - now boxed up and like many things resides in my attic.
It really pays to keep things in the attic, my lovely Magnum Dynalab started making very loud popping sounds. After 16 years tucked away, out came the NAT 03 and it sounds superb .
Took about two hours to warm up and playing now like it hasn’t missed a beat. No it isn’t as good as the Dynalab but it sure beats the satellite dish .
I wonder how many electric items left unused for 16 years would even work?
FR, it looks like deliberate use of “shallow depth of field” as a pictorial effect. Done in camera, or as an effect in software. Given @Haim’s prowess with a camera, I would say it is what he intended.
I was not aware of this subtility, but was wondering about this possibility… thanks
It really does.
Last month I sold my old NAP 160 – which had been sitting in its box, unused, for at least a decade – via a well-known auction site to a collector from Hong Kong for £635!
Hi, nitrous! How does the naitxs2 and 200 sound to you, if you stans it tre xs2 alone?
But which plant effect the sound how? This could be more popüler thread than ethernet cables!
Emrei, i am very surprised but the sound is also clearly better now. Nice surprise. Perhaps the bass reflection in that angle of the wall is attenuated ? It’s strange but it works.
I have previously had Naim systems, Qute, 172/155 and 172/200, but for the past few years I had a Mu-so with my main system being a Linn Sneaky DSM feeding Q Acoustics 3020s.
Earlier in the year I changed my speakers for Dali Oberon 1s and felt the Linn didn’t have enough omph for them, so browsing a well known site, came across a very nice Unitilite in great condition, bright screen and CD draw working.
After owning it for about 6 weeks, today, I properly installed it, with new Witch Hat speaker cables.
It is now up and running and sounding lovely and really drives the Dalis well. My 30+ year old B&O TX2 sounds as good as ever. It’s a nice simple system that will do me well.
Hi seaman, when I took the picture earlier in the thread I was using nait x2/hicap DR with stage line powered off aux2. But I prefer the flat cap Xs on the pre and the hicap just on the stage line. The 200 adds a bit more authority to the sound, but not much in it really. The bigger changes come with the different supplies on the pre. I have the 200 ‘spare’ so it seems a waste to leave it unused!
Does the onion help the SQ?
