A very nice set up but… as this is the second picture where you have done this, I would like to see those yellow handled ‘snips’ off the top of the naim units in your next picture!
Even though the grips look like rubber there is always a risk of scratching when in proximity!
We were watching Morse last night (the very first episode) and the many appearances of a Roksan Xeres and Nait 1 reminded me of more simple Hi-Fi times. As much as i enjoy looking at the many fine systems on here, you can’t beat the clean looks of a Nait and LP12 combo. Fred, you’re a lucky chap owning that system and your CB Nait 2 is very sweet…
There was a Naim black box in the background of an episode of Unforgotten I saw recently which is rare. Makes a change from the ubiquitous McIntosh stuff in Hollywood productions.
No way! The 500s will stay and I’ll keep the system active. While the S1 compared to a 552 really IS in a different league altogether, I am rather skeptical that statement passive is sonically superior to 500s active. Different, yes very likely but better probably not so much justifying an additional enormous outlay for full statement.
