Marking and planning (I’m a school teacher) but it was my day off - just means I have more to do over the weekend.
System looks awesome and I bet it sounds as good as it looks.
I spoke to Kudos and they suggested trying various speaker isolation units under the speakers. The guy that I spoke to said that there is an unbelievable amount of energy transmitted down through the spikes of speakers. He also suggested trying 2p and 10p coins to see how much difference it made. I did this and the sound deteriorated quite considerably especially with the 2p coin. The bass became woolly.
I’ve tried both sizes of the Franc isolation units and found a big difference in sound between the two. I preferred the smaller ones. They certainly improved the control of the base and transformed the quality and control of the mids and highs. Personally I was very impressed and I consider the sound to be a bigger improvement than a box upgrade. Once my wallet has recovered from buying the Degritter I’ll be ordering them. I might listen to the Isoacoustics which are slightly cheaper.
I too have a solid wooden floor over concrete with a rug that covers most of the whole floor area.
It wasn’t clear from talking to John at Pear Audio whether this was likely to be temporary or permanent (I don’t want to be the one sounding the death knell if the patient is still breathing but just asleep!). Apparently, they lost the services of their cabinet maker. I think it’s always been a pretty small enterprise.
Great purchase. Degritter is one of the best hifi purchases I’ve ever made in 45 years!!!
Source first?..…errrr……that’ll be the vinyl then🤣. Let’s make sure it’s clean👍
Cleaned 360 albums so far and now the cleaner needs a clean.
It definitely makes a difference and you can see why when you see what it has removed from approx 35 newish albums.
Hopefully Shahinian will be able to continue on. I love their speakers.
That’s a whole load of gorgeous looking Naim boxes you have there. Looks great on Isoblue racks.
This one without cat … possible but actually senseless
Btw, just have sneaked in another senseless fraim shelf, guess which one
Lovely, neat looking system. Wonderful!
How do you make use of 3xNAP500?
Ermm, you have a fair few shelves there Charlie. Your other system pics aren’t clear so you’re not making things easy!
Interesting how you don’t have bases doubled up but one up from base is.
Spill the beans …
We only need one. Maybe he should give us one each Slamdam? Charlie, you have too many 500s!
It’s what active means that naim has just killed by nixing snaxos. Three way speaker with three power amps
And I thought I was DONE!
Blimey, mine’s never got as dirty as that!
It might be because I’d already cleaned most albums with a VPI before buying the Degritter so it’s never had a diet so rich in new purchases, only the odd one amongst already clean albums just needing a quick dip to removed what the static picked up when lifting them after they were last played.
No many beans to spill just a baby dinosaur stacked in a corner. I became a bit unconventional fooling around with too many fraim shelves. Just as the 500s should be away from the S1 basement the Snaxo needs air and so does a Superline. Also the supercaps are better not in immediate proximity of other units. And I have just added another shelf directly under the 555. No idea if it actually makes any sonic difference, I have the convincing feeling it does and if not at least it’s all even now.
