Aaaaand it is back in action
Apparently the connection is shaky when you insert it all the way into the socket. Which I never did, for the usual reasons (and they don’t have locking rings). But I guess during dressing I may have accidentally pushed it a little farther, and when the channel dropped out, my automatic reaction was to insert it completely.
All back to normal and, having used the standard interconnect during the day, at least I know now that the Sarum Ts are keepers. All is well that ends well
My Naim fraim lite arrived today to replace my SO table. Great value second hand purchase.
Too soon to judge the sound quality- but looks way better than the previous stand.
Empty shelf leads to many possibilities….
A friend of mine has Sehring 702 speakers which are nice. I have not listened to any of the new models, but if you can get a demo, go for it. If they are too dry for your taste, Paradigm Persona should be on your shortlist.
Thanks. According to reviews in Germany, the new models are a huge improvement. It’s a 20 min bike ride to the Sehring factory, definitely worth a visit.
Thanks for the Paradigm as well, there’s also a dealer in Berlin that’s not too far away. Though I would have to get used to the beryllium, the safety instructions on the Focal website were already freaking me out a bit
That’s surely a thing to consider, thankfully silk and paper drives are my cup of tea. Stefan Sehring is said to be a nice guy and you should be able to get a home demo from him.
Those 100’s look quite close the the back wall - how far out are a they? I had discounted these on the basis that they need some space around them (I’m looking for a speaker that can go quite close to wall)
I mean, it’s really difficult to get to it, surely they must fulfill strict design safety regulations, and in practice it will be fine. But just reading that if it ever breaks, your best option is moving to a new apartment, makes it somewhat uncomfortable. And of course there is the larger question of whether we really need to add to the inevitable issues with mining, processing, and eventual disposal for our listening pleasure. On the other hand, none of the stuff in our computers or Naim units is an environmental advantage either. In the end, questions remain.
After a few months dillydallying, finally got the SVT wallshelf up. Now that’s better!
Very pleased with it and relieved that the batten has largely fixed the crappy wall problem.
Yes - I really like them. They are 35cm from the wall. 20cm from chimney breast. My floor is solid oak on concrete. I had an xs2 and the bass was a bit bloated- much improved with sn3. They have a deserved reputation for being a bit bass heavy- some like that, but not everyone.
I would really recommend them- but suggest a home demo.
Endon thanks for reply they are on my short list for home demo in two weeks time was a bit concerned regarding placement near back wall. At a pinch I can get 600mm out. Definitely on my short list looking forward to home demo with them.
Carpet on solid floors so should be ok
Hahah! Slightly incongruous I’d agree. I was once asked to “blur my background” on a teams call so the sex pistols picture didn’t offend any Clash fans…. WTF!!!
Yours is framed much, much better than mine - I had it in a tube for a long time (it’s a numbered print and I was hoarding it!) and the frame was the only one to hand when I realised that not having it on display was just stupid!
It’s one of my favourite images, and my favourite Dead LP. Very happy to see yours - lovely!
