On the cusp of a new year (happy New Year to our members in NZ!), here’s a new and refreshed System Pics thread for 2026.
A few changes to the main system in the last few months; the XPS has had a service at Naim, a serviced NAT02 has replaced the NAT03, and a fairly recently serviced Supercap has joined the system to power the Superline.
As previously posted, no real changes last year aside from the addition of a DC-1 to connect the DVD/BluRay and migrating from an Innuos Zenith to dual Cores in the Spring. In fact, after considerable research (in other words mythering) I was unable to determine any real ‘upgrades’ other than a budget busting complete replacement.
So, stays for another year . Actually, short of a decent lottery win, quite possibly for good.
Yes, still SL2s, although this year I intend to run my old JBL 4311s every now and then for a bit of fun. I just need to sort out some appropriate stands.
This is my system moving into 2026. I only plan on making two changes in 2026, moving on the Nap 250 DR and replacing with a Nap 300 DR as well as a new Dynavector DrT XV-1S to replace the DV-20X2.
One addition as well, another Rel S812 to keep my current one company
Your 20’s look great with (or without) the grilles. Persuaded me to pop the grilles on my 50’s for a quick photo. I suspect I may be taking them off again though
I understand that the ATCs are designed for grill-on listening so I popped them on for a few days. The main thing that strikes me is that they look very smart so they may be staying. We shall see.
