Just not keen on the looks of a wall shelf. The system takes up enough of the room as it is and I donāt fancy the idea of it growing up the wall with a wall shelf and cables hanging out the bottom of it.
If the system was in a dedicated room, then Iād probably consider it.
Yes - that logic follows for me too. I wonder if there is anybody here that has experience of the impact on a Urika being above Naim Brawn before you move things around!!
I also wonder if the Radikal is technically Brawn - Linn power supplies are very different beasts to Naim - would be nice to keep that below the LP12 if it moves sides I guessā¦but then thatās moving it into the Brain sideā¦
Hi Neil,
Many thanks for your thoughts, life goes on even in this crazy pandemic just happy to have the Naim and the music. Strange we never think we will outlive the wife butā¦just glad she went before the pandemic took hold as I really feel for those with loved ones in the care homes who cannot visit.
Regards
Nigel
Or move the Radikal from the base shelf and get it under the LP12 which still leaves all the PSUs on the brawn side? That Klimax casework is a really solid bit of kit so maybe it interferes less with sensitive TT signals?
Ah yes - I think that would do it the world of good. A certain symmetry in having the Linn stuff āstackedā too
As an experiment before committing - I wonder if youāve tried playing a record with the 555PS powered on, and then fully powered it off and see if there is a difference in the music from the LP12.
If you werenāt too concerned about symmetry, you could move the medium shelf up to underneath the LP12. This would increase the spacing between Urika and either K-Rad or CD555PSDR.
While not symmetrical shelf for shelf - it ultimately resolves really well, I think it looks great. Top, Bottom and Centre lines all straight - and then a bit of a jazz odyssey of alignment around them. Really cool.
Extra points for the Pioneer Cassette Deck in pride of place
I was a bit fussy about that! Building the left stack so that each shelf was horizontal was challenging, especially with the tall and medium stages in the same stack. There was a fair bit of leg adjustment in order to get it right.
