Thanks @anon29651526 !
Those are lovely speakers!
Thanks Alex, fortunately they happen to sound rather lovely too
Sonus Faber Olympica 1 - beautiful speakers!
With such a system behind the sound has to be quite engaging and satisfying.
Yes, I tried Momentum II, and prefere my Meze. But you must to try Meze99, your opinion is only important.
Must wait for the confinment ends to Start doing some auditionsâŚ
Are the 804s on castors?
Yes you are right, mine are pretty cramped, I might look at trying to put the cabinet and stereo somewhere else to get a bit of space between the speakers , but that would cost fortune for cable, especially active. Not sure the wife would let me swap the cabinet for a frame or two. A couple of options none perfect
Thatâs great idea with the Chromecast Iâll look into that.
Yes, it works well. Just enable the Chromecast as a Display and not as Endpoint, it is just for the display of the âPlaying Nowâ.
Plus it doesnât need to be the latest 4K version, a 1st Gen version will do and therefore available used, from someone who is upgrading.
No castors on 804âs, spikes or rubber feet along with link cables come in the box. I went spikes.
Opening that door looks somewhat dangerous for the right hand speaker�
yes, it does - but it leads only to an under stairs storage - not often used. Also you can see a little rubber white bumper on the side of the speaker base plinth (agreed after long negotiations with my better half)

Theyâre not making any more NBLs and theyâre still a cracking speaker. I heard mine at a dealership where theyâd been taken in part exchange for Ovator 800s. I wasnât looking for speakers, just dropped in for a chat and they were playing in the showroom. A loan was arranged and they never went back.
How does that turntable work?
Ken - try mixing some white vinegar with some warm water (1:4 ratio) and pour it into a spray bottle.
Then, spray on to the veneer and promptly rub in with a micro fibre cloth. Keep doing this for about 10 minutes. Then when dry apply some window / glass cleaner (e.g. Windowlene) in the same way.
As always, try in an inconspicuous place on the SL2 veneer first.
I found that there was a slight improvement in the grain coming through and the veneer was much cleaner. The glass cleaner served to apply a bit of polish to the clean veneer.
Not a massive difference but probably worth doing.
I wondered who would be the first to notice my conceptual turntable. cushioned on a disc of woven reed
Iâm pretty sure the DBL Snaxo will work fine with the NBL. I have a DBL SNAXO 362 which I use with my Isobariks. I bought that new and the factory advised that it would work fine. Sounds great to me.
