System Pics 2021

To hit anyone in the head who dares to touch my vinyl, or turns up at my doorstep with a Dire Straits album and/or alike.

Main system. No changes for 2021 as I’m (was) still pretty satisfied the way it sounded until one channel went kaput. Complete strip down on the way…

I know but these things happen, Mark, but I have had some very good advice from Mr Dane, James(n) and others. That’s the beauty of this community!:sunglasses:

Yes, for sure - I had several months without my system recently shipping components back and forth to Naim. It is fine now, but the unnerving thing was they were unable to identify whatever was happening back in August or so when it exhibited a problem. Fingers crossed for both of us!

Yep, Nigel @anon4489532. Blue is definitely the colour you should have. :grinning: PUP

Recently upgraded my main system as per above picture. Linn Klimax DS and Akudorik speakers with a Melco box to store my music library. Previously had old Linn Akurate DS and Neat Momentum speakers with a QNAP NAS for storage. (Sorry, no Naim gear in this room, but there is in my home study below).

All my music is either played direct from the Melco or streamed from Qobuz and so very much a fan of as few boxes as possible. Making the system as unobtrusive as possible is very important for Mrs D. to be happy with it - neither of us wants to have a lot of racks, cables, boxes etc and I’ve never been tempted to go down the vinyl route. Having a big dog who bounds in & out of the room on his way from kitchen to garden and back also mitigates against having a turntable! Acoustically the system, straight out of the box, it is not ideal in a conservatory-style room with a lot of glass surfaces but the Space Optimisation software sorts all that out so it sounds fantastic and I get to listen to my music in peace and quiet without interfering with TV watching in main room thereby ensuring familial harmony!

My home study has a Uniti Atom with Neat Motive SX3 speakers which are perfect for desktop devices whilst I work. There is also a Muso QB cube in the kitchen to complete the full systems inventory!

Sorry for the poor quality iPhone photos but if i waited for better natural light it could be months before it improves!

Oh snap! I picked out the same outfit to wear to the office today. It was chilly doing the daycare run though.

If Pete looks anything like that he can have an all expenses paid visit to my place and he can polish anything he likes!
