Sorry Sir, I started it.

The big boy made me do it, then he ran away. I need to be thrashed soundly.

I’ve been really happy with my CD 555 for 10 years, but am really looking forward to entering the world of streaming via the addition of an NDX2 in a few weeks time.

Very nice set up Dan. :sunglasses: Will the NDX2 be in addition to or replacing the CD555?

Well Done! :grin:

The NDX2 will be in addition to the CD555.
It will replace it for a few weeks whilst the CD and power supply go back to Naim for servicing. When they’re back I’ll have a three source system including the Nat5.
I’m looking forward to spending many hours sourcing new sounds via Tidal.

I see you have kept the spikes under the Townsend platforms. I thought it was better to remove them? Not ?

I wanted to say « the spikes under the speakers « . I saw speakers standing on these platforms without spikes ( under the speakers).

Never tried without the spikes to be honest

Ah - I’ll have a play with them at some point. My platforms were made specifically for Sonus Faber but my Ushers just about fit :slight_smile:

Hi both,

 @frenchrooster      @CautiousLip 

I have recently purchased the Townshend Podiums for my Kudos Titan T88s and I’ve been gobsmacked by the improvement on every level.
I too, as the set up procedure suggests, removed the spikes and so never did a comparison.
However, it was suggested to me, by a fellow user of podiums, that a further improvement could be made by first installing the T88s on oak cones, which I have now done.
It’s early days to comment on better or worse, but I do feel there is a difference and for less than £30, a worthwhile experiment.
The Podiums have made such a difference, in my system, I have contemplated what would be the Townshend Audio effect on my Naim Fraim, either the Brains or Brawn stack,or both!
My thoughts have also drifted to replacing the Fraim with the Townshend stands, but this could give cable dressing issues, which is testament, I guess, to the Podiums and the impression they have made in me.
Have you considered either for your racks?

I have finiite elemente cerapucks under the fraimlite and ps. Also finite elemente cerabases under the speakers.
But was tempted by this Townshend podiums

Love the Yamaha Amp, what is the turntable?

Hi. Yes, the difference the Townsend’s make is staggering. I originally purchased as the room they were in had a suspended floor and the sound was awful until I got them.
My current room has a concrete floor with oak wood on top and the platforms still make a positive difference
I’ll try without the spikes at some point
