Glad they helped with your rack decision Chris - you’ve got a very nice setup. I do like the Isoblue racks and think they look good with Naim kit. I’ve had the Devialet for 7 years now - quite a long time in Hi-Fi years but it keeps me happy. I’m sure that when a two box Naim integrated appears, I’ll be very tempted to return back to Naim amplification…
I’ve added a used 252 and Supercap, using the SN2 in power amp mode. I have a new 250DR on order from HQ and a full Fraim level for the NDX2 with the turntable then going back on top.
I remember both those systems, including the PMCs. The system has certainly become streamlined over the years. What speakers are you using now? They look familiar but my memory needs a jog.
I’ve been toying with the idea of taking my system out of the living room and using a spare bedroom on the ground floor.
Yesterday I moved the system to see what it would be like.
Gone from a roughy 16x11 ft room to a smallish 9x8 space.
As can be seen tables are being used to support the equipment.
I’ve tried all sorts of positions for the equipment and I prefer being further away, admittedly only a foot.
The aim of moving it is to see if I’ll use it more. The living room is on the first floor and sound could impact on neighbours either side, so I limit how I listen. Being on the ground floor and only linking to a neighbours spare room on one side means I can play a little louder. Having said that, being closer seems to have a similar effect to having headphones on.
I’ve got one too. I think Rega have absolutley nailed the value for money proposition with it.
The fact it was simple to set up myself and isn’t tweakable or upgradable was also a bonus for me.
