System Pics 2023

Made a further change to living-room system no. 2. With the two Cyrus 8 power amps working in mono mode, the balance was noticeably balanced to the right. So, I removed one of the amps, changed the remaining one to stereo mode and connected the PSX-R power supply, and the balance is now fine.

Now that the second PSX-R has arrived, I’ve reintroduced the second Cyrus 8, so each is running in mono mode with its own power supply. The balance seems fine.

I think the cables may be a couple of months away. But I’m in no hurry.

I like the industrial design of the sides of the amps.

I do like the design of the New Classics. You’re making me feel slightly inadequate!

Do the heat sinks get warm to the touch? The new NAP250 has a centrally mounted fan too, so I wonder if the heat sinks are really functional or just cosmetic.

Balance has been restored. Your Nova looks more classic looking than mine, on that Ercol table :ok_hand:……………sorry, I mean my wife’s Nova.

I have been running for a hour this morning, at a volume level of 20. I cannot feel any noticeable heat from the heatsinks. If I had to describe it, I guess tepid would be the best description :blush:

It means they are working well. Glowing hot would indicate a problem. :rofl:
I guess they are a functional aid rather than a necessity.

I guess if I connected a pair of Apogee Scintilla’s, then they would get bloody warm….:blush:

Can I ask for your advice, please?
Have you run your PMC speakers in yet? If so, did it take the full fifty hours?
The reason I ask, is currently running in, besides Naim units and KS-1 speaker cable, PMC Twenty5 23i speakers. Some tracks the speakers sound fully run in with very spacious and detail sound. However, the next can sound compressed. I cannot remember this when running in the Twenty5 23’s. As you have the latest Twenty5 range, and have have experience of PMC, I was hoping you might have some input. Thank you. :blush:
