Gazza, Dusty is in fine fettle but is as always working far too hard. I keep telling him, but the outcome is about as successful, as when I try to tell my adult(ish) children how to behave. Hey Ho Peter
Good to knowā¦thought i had missed some bad news, thanksā¦
might celebrate with some wine with dinner.
Thanks Nigel. So far having fun, taking the day off to start getting to know it.
Goeff, just as a follow up, just noted that the volume etc looking off line is probably because they are not just rotary pots. They actually are also push in and act like a joystick to make different settings/controls
Just got my 500 back from being DRād. Its been away for about nine weeks over lockdown, not great timing to send it off . I canāt really remember what it sounded like before it went away, but it sounds good straight out of the box, so itāll be fab in a few months
Thought Iād take a few pics before it gets all dusty again !
thank you Nigel. Not an expert by any stretch, but i am aware of system balance and i wonder why you have such a stonking front end with a pair of 2 bob speakers.
Only my opinion
Fantastic speakers, a real wonder.
In that configuration, I would think in these stands, they improve performance much more than the little they cost, checked:
Hardly two bob (Ā£4000 these days) and I assume you have no experience of the GX 300s. They started life with the original Uniti2 donkeys years ago in my home and have ably demonstrated each and every uplift in SQ from upgrades to the system I have today. I am still amazed to this day that they reveal benefits in the merest of upgrades.
I am aware that they are probably the next component to give me a major uplift, these or my power amp. Actually I think the GX 300s would really appreciate a 500DR up āem. Or I could simply stick with them and continue to enjoy the stonking front end it is my privilege to own. Beautifully balance and no Monkfish in sight.
Any sniff of monkfishā¦invite me over, wrapped in bacon luvly.
I am very interested in your impressions CBR once you get it up and running.
Looks stunning
I have exactly the same vinyl set up and enjoy it immensely. All of my Naim kit is about to go for a service and Iām excited to listen for improvements when itās doneā¦ To me it sounds terrific already!
Hope you continue to enjoy as much as I do
Just recorded dire straits alchemy onto a memory stick from an album that has to be 30 years old?.
Replayed recording back through the Nagra and the reproduction was impressive, but getting some Hiss, so need to look at settings to reduce this.
Nice piece of kit and incredibly adaptable.
Put the drive into the atom to replay but sound level was much quieter, had to ramp up the volume, so something to adjust there as well.
Good vibes so far.
Very nice look @toto, but I hear your Neat speakers whispering: āGet me a Superuniti, or even better a Novaāā¦
Indeed, a Nova would very nice sitting there in all itās glory.
Are you guys suggesting toto has an unbalanced system? Really?
Superb - thanks for that.
How long have you owned your set up - and any pictures?
Like the speakers Danny
Just trying a Thunder into my Nap300 - after having all Powerlines for a few weeks. The āhigh currentā thing about the Thunder seems to have something about it - Thunder wins on the power amp. Iām trying them on 252 and Superline Supercaps also, but canāt perceive much difference to Powerlines there.
