System Pics 2023

No changes planned for this year (but I’ve said that before!). Still sounding fantastic and giving pleasure every day.

555PSDR added. I never get tired of the green discrete logo. Same feeling as 20 years ago when I first saw them in store and dreamed about owning naim but couldn’t afford. Lucky to own such a wonderful system today.

Thanks for making awesome products :green_heart::black_heart:

So how would you describe the difference between 555 vs no 555?

Deeper better defined bass. More relaxed presentation with a feeling the ears don’t have to decode as much and just listen. Sweeter top end (not less, not boring but more “analogue”. Increased soundstage and inner details/depth. Everything I remembered from adding 555PS onto 272 even though the difference on 272 was bigger. Super happy!

The TV picture looks a bit blurred :wink:

Could we please stick to posting pictures of our own systems, rather than systems of others found online.

FR, FWIW, it appears there’s an ND555 there and I think the CD player is probably a CD5xs being used as a CD transport into the ND555 DAC…

Thank you for both of your contributions. I currently have TS3s in the main bedroom and T-60Micro AMTs (they are surprisingly powerful) in the AV system and they are both excellent designs, especially the AMTs. I’m considering another pair of floorstanding Piegas for a stereo system in our sun lounge when it is completed this year. Rather unusually at the moment there are pairs of TS5s, Premium 3s (LDR version of TS5?), TP5s, Premium 501s and 701s all on UK EBay. Clearly, condition and provenance is important but I’m also wondering how far up the ‘tree’ I should go. Being realistic I think the 501s and 701s are out of budget but the others are interesting options.

The site mentioned « Nac S1, Nap S1, Focal Evo III and Cd5i ». So an error not mentioning the Nd555, that I didn’t see clearly first. So I delete my above post which has no funny interest now. A Cd5i on top of Statements would have been a curiosity.

Was the 555 a replacement for an xpsdr? Worthwhile? I am very tempted.

I went from NDX2 naked to 555PSDR :+1:

Aah. Ok. Remembering the improvements the xpsdr brought, I am sure it sounds superb.

Is this the Thorens platform under your P10? I guess you like it?

Thanks John, that’s very interesting to know. It’s a case of budget, room size and what you need. My room is more like 5m x 4m. Theres a lot of rave reviews and popularity of the Kudos Titan speakers on here.

Fantastic system. Some nice symmetry with the 6 boxes on 2 stacks of Fraim. Very nice !

What no turn table! How are playing those wonder audiophile records. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

System looks fantastic. I agree with the post above about 2 stacks. :+1:

I still have it, just moved to the right in the room. However I rarely play it anymore when the digital stuff sounds so great. I’ve become lazy…

What deck have you got?

Is it connected up to system?

Just seen it on your other system pics. Your LP12 should have pride of place!
