System Pics 2020

Well, it’s looking great so far…

How it is now.Recently purchased Mcintosh MR71,on wall shelf, and Synthesis Roma 510AC tube integrated push pull amp on top rack.
Just to give tubes a try.

Also, no cables around the room… :blush:

And how do tubes sound compare with your 282/250?

Hi Chag,
thanks for asking.I expected sooner or later a question like yours, it is not the first time I uploaded some pics of my latest purchasing,the first one being on "What was the last bit of gear"thread, where I described my sensations regarding this amp.If you want you can take a look at my reply there. .First of all my Naim combo is 282/200,not 250 sadly.I think an 250 DR will be my next upgrades,as Hungryhalibut suggested to me a couple of months ago.But not now!Anyway I can say that Roma’s sound is a little bit more 3d,voices are warm and very realistic while 282/200 is more powerful and with its fantastic PRAT.But please bear in mind that I haven’t been listening to Naim for two months now, since I connected the Roma.I will need a better comparison in the future to give you a more satisfactory opinion.
Ciao

Thanks. I actually have 2 seamasters.
This from 2001 which is currently on an Omega Nato.
My newer one is just under 2 years old.
Love both. The avatar one doesn’t keep great time! Despite having it serviced and sending it back. Twice for regulation!

But, surely keeping good time is the only thing a watch is designed to do!:wink:

I’m reminded of the quote, I think from the CEO of Rolex when asked how the watch business was going. They replied “I’m not in the watch business. I’m in the luxury goods industry.”
