System Pics 2021

Merry Christmas all :christmas_tree:

As a final addition to the recent system upgrade, I went on eBay looking for a Naim cd player, having always fancied one. Found a CD5 XS from a dealer with a 3-month warranty at an acceptable price. The reviews were very persuasive too. It arrived yesterday in time for Christmas. It’s connected to the NDAC.

Okay, so the CD player sitting directly atop the NDAC isn’t ideal (I am a bit strapped for space), but I mentioned this to the chap at Naim support when I was calling about another matter, and he thought that it should be fine, whilst agreeing it was not ideal. He pointed out that the transformers are always on the right-hand site, so sit above each other and not above sensitive electronics in the unit below.

All the best for the New Year.

My system rack is in the opposite corner of the room which is a little bare from festive point of view, so here’s the corner with our tree. You might spot the naim remote on the sofa arm in poor attempt for the photo to qualify for the thread. Merry Christmas everyone !

Very nice speaker’s indeed but they didn’t work for me with the supernait3 but the pathos/Naim NDX2 is magic. :+1:t3:

Yes I have been told this by a dealer selling them that they for sure would work better with EAR valve amplification. Let’s see I also listened to them with those amps and a melko with chord Dave. Very good but I have made my investment w.r.t. sources and amps and will not change that. Let’s see with the speakers I will look further with that w.r t . What you say in the new year

Yes, wooden screens

I’ve read kids just use a drop of cola. Gets it to show positive so they can get out of school. Might be easier :slight_smile:

Dismantled the whole gig and put them back together - a half day job for Xmas eve and back breaking.
Space is a premium especially I have 2 boys….

There’s a rumour that lemon juice works. I tried it - it doesn’t!

Looks awesome, enjoy

Always sounds better after a good dust and clean. Once of course all the cables are finally back in their correct place!

Which speakers? Those on your pictures?

Hi gordlau, has your right channel been misbehaving up to Christmas and now after several warnings :point_up:t3: ended up in ‘the naughty corner’? :wink: ATB Peter
