The Nova looks great in that setup, and if it gives you a good balance with other family needs financially then it’s a win win. Nice that you have landed on a great outcome.

I recently chaged a lot in relatively shortvtime: new pre-amp, new streamer, power-amp serviced, new xls cables, new loudspeaker and new loud-speaker cables. In that journey one constantly notices small nuances in sound. It kept on changing; something I preceive as bettering, more detail en opening up. The change in nuance stopped now which makes me conclude run in is done

Once a month, I write to my dealer and sayI am amazed how good the Nova is.
I must admit it was the Powerline that really lifted it’s performance and Witch Hat Phantoms tweaked it further.

Looks great. What speakers are they? They look the business.

There’s a thread about them here:

It’s quite a read 
@Mark84 - I’m sure with your skills and patience your (already lovely looking - what needs doing!!?) house will be renovated in no time. If the speed at which mine seem to be growing up is anything to go by then the all too brief time you get to spend regular time with your kids will be gone faster than you want. Sounds like a great decision to me.

Thank you Stilts. I agonised over the back wall colour for ages but really happy with the teal. It’s a custom Solid-Sounds rack. Very happy with it and Paul is a pleasure to deal with.
I’ve been told the rug belongs in a children’s nursery

That looks like a really lovely set-up. I love the exuberance of all the bright colours and like the wood grain on the rack. Enjoy the music!

Well, aren’t we all - on this Forum, at least - children at heart? Some just more so than others But I am REALLY taken with that rack - as much as with what it contains. Lovely alternative to the usual suspects generally seen here.

When you view it from the side the grain is continuous between levels. I’ll do a pic later.
Just answer that it is for the connoisseurs. It is a work inspired by Piet Mondrian

That would be great - I’m already all over their website! Might I ask how much the rack cost (if Forum rules allow it)?
From memory it was around £1500 a year or so back. Also got some risers made for the bottom level. Just in case a 500 ever makes an appearance 
better safe than sorry
