Looking good so far @Dan_M. A very satisfying system to listen to.

Thanks for your stacking order. All done exactly as you said. With the new Fraim shelf and some more glass will look complete.

And thereā€™s the decorating and re flooring to do as well.

Team effort.

Thatā€™s rather ironic as my recollection was it was usually you that had the hissy fit every time there was a bit of thread drift. Now youā€™re one of the worst offenders. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Often a bit of thread drift keeps the whole thread moving and more interesting than some serious posts.

Not fair!

Iā€™m sorry to hear that you have colitis, HH. The reason I had a colonoscopy at age 44 was that I too had colitis ā€“ but it ended up being the bacterial variety. A few days of vancomycin resolved my symptoms completely. Unfortunately, this happened over the pandemic so I couldnā€™t see a gastroenterologist for more than a year, during which time the symptoms got worse and worse.

(On the off chance that you havenā€™t had a test to rule out infection, I highly recommend doing so!)

Thanks for the thought, but Iā€™d had it for over 30 years and have been thoroughly tested.

Whatever, itā€™s water under the bridge. Iā€™m with you on the thread drift, as I said above, so long as it stays sensible. I think all thread starters face the challenge, even your good self.

100% very satisfying to get it all set up. Will be updated pics very soon with NDS in place and new Fraim shelf and some more glass. Itā€™s mainly Fraim shelves, but there are 4 Fraimlites. Intention is to to fit glass cups and balls to two which donā€™t have them. I also like the fact that the stack is lower now. Much improved.

Just getting used to the room. Itā€™s taking shape.

Definitely a more relaxed forum is good for all of us imo.

Thanks very much. Itā€™s taken a lot of thought but I reckon I am almost there!

Couldnā€™t agree more, and a bit of thread drift is a lot more acceptable than having your listening choice of music insulted (not by you Pete!) which to me is very bad form and not exactly ā€œrelaxedā€ or welcoming.

Totally agree with that statement Mark.
I just had one of my favourite albums torn to shreds on the ā€˜Listeningā€¦ā€™ thread recently when I posted it.
There are lots of things posted that I donā€™t like, but I really donā€™t see the need to rip into posts/posters when they come upšŸ«¤

My Rogue Audio Sphinx remote (optional extra). Shortly to be sold along with said amplifier.
Itā€™s made from a solid piece of aluminium and weighs a ton, shame it only operates the volume :rofl:

Thatā€™s going to be great system. What are you using as a streamer?

When I came home from work today and looked at my three tiers of Fraim stacked with Naim and Linn boxes I thought: yeah that looks alright. When I look in front I see speakers and the TV with the racks less prominent. It was a good move getting them on left wall.

I think I want less in the room. I have a big fish tank which kids like and my 3 year old sons toys stacked up. I guess itā€™s not all about me and some of this stuff will have to stay!

I live alone but have 4 kids who come over at weekends and holidays.

It has definitely become more of a listening room than a living room.
