I agree. I thought my Naim system when I had it took a significant step forwards with Fraim. I wouldn’t disagree for a minute that it works - but I do seriously question the reasoning behind it.
In point of fact though I wasn’t asking you anything. I simply responded to your quotation from Naim. Why would I want to take anything up with Naim? Just discussing it here on the forum like anyone else.
However I don’t wish to divert this thread any further. If there are any mechanical engineers out there who would care to start a thread on this then it would make for fascinating and potentially very informative reading.
Before equipment stand design discussions get too far out of hand, perhaps a dedicated thread? (Apologies @anon55098131 - I see you just posted the same request)
Here’s a rubbish photo of my far from rubbish SL1200. Graham Slee Accession is a great phono stage @Dan_M - you should try one out Was all sounding great last night after a very very long day!
Perhaps I should have said you are talking to a retired mental health carer.
Because they designed it, and one has to believe therefore that they are the experts, and best placed to answer any questions anyone may have about how it works.
My LP12 is at Audio T Brighton from now, having Karousel fitted and a full service. Will be interesting to hear how it sounds when I pick it up, which will probably be on saturday.
NAP300DR retired from my main system (usurped by NAP350s) paired with my Atom HE. Shows what a great streaming pre-amp it is! Was wasted as just a headphone amp / streamer.
Dealers selling ex demo is my guess. No point keeping hold of them as there are no more being built so selling for what they can get to cut their losses.
Once they have gone I suspect prices will firm back up to a degree. The one that sold for 6k was an auction, not buy it now. Seems mad to sell something like that via auction but there you go, someone got a bargain!
