System Pics 2026

Back at the dude.

Wiim Ultra streamer, Fosi amp (€100). This is just insanely good quality. He have made a new and better psu and five stages of noise reduction.


Here you see a noise reduction card.


Amps on the top. Switch mode psu in the bottom part.

My system evolution over the last few years = I consider myself very lucky!

With every step it has been a worthy investment and a musical joy.

In September 2023, I sold my Supernait2 + HiCapDR and a few spare cables, which funded half the cost of the NAC332. In January 2024 I traded the NAP250DR towards the NAP350s saving me 25% off the purchase price. In September 2025 I had the opportunity to buy a mint ex-demo NPX300 power supply at 45% off retail. Not shown here are my trusty iBLs to which I added StackAudio Auva Loudspeaker feet back in April 2025 → which work amazingly well.

Jan 22 → SN2 / CDX2.2 / NAP250 DR / HiCap DR / XPS DR

Sept 23 → NAC 332 / CDX2.2 / NAP 250 DR / XPS DR

Jan 24 → CDX2.2 / NAC332 / NAP350 / NAP350 / XPSDR

Sept 25 to Jan 26 → CDX2.2 / NAC332 / NAP350 / NAP350 / NPX300 / XPSDR

No Vicoustic, but light panels made in Poland.
Thanks Naitman.

Trying to sell my streamer and only focus on vinyl. I finally got all my three turntables working with the Graham Slee Reflex C as a latest addition.

Thanks a lot Cohen ! Colours add a more friendly and hearty feeling. The joy of listening is improved, so an upgrade too . :grinning_face:

I get it FR. I try to keep my system rooms pleasant aesthetically which seems to create a good emotional state for music listening. I really like what you’ve achieved :+1:

You will lose out on some diffusion effect I guess since you block that?

I didn’t observed a change , but maybe there’s something. The most important I really enjoy the sound now.

Bedroom system - the only change here as part of my gentle pursuit of less boxes is no more Sky!

Home office system - the only one without any Naim components. This system will change in the next couple of weeks (hopefully..) as I’m replacing the SCM 11’s and the P1 with a pair of ATC SCM 20ASL’s. Super excited!

Kitchen system - apologies for the appearance - just finally had our leaky roof fixed! Now it’s down to me to paint! So do expect delays… No change here this year - part from decor of course!

And finally the AV system. I’ve been a fan and pretty constant user of the ARCAM & MONITOR AUDIO combo for years. This system probably wont change (it’s a 5.4.2 beast). NDX5 XS2 on streaming duties however. I know the speakers are in a terrible position - but you have to work with what you have space wise.

Each of the systems just wonderful!

What a lovely room you’ve created, FR.

Great idea with the picture acoustic panels too.

Very thankful James, and Cohen too, and still more as you have both among the nicest systems integrated inside a living room. Your systems could figure inside audio magazines.
Talking about that, I am wondering if audio magazines are still showing personal audio systems. I remember @Polarbear system being shown in a mag.

Is that the new dazzle?

Yes, my system appeared in Hi-fi News a couple of times, I had two articles written about it. It was very interesting to do and a real privilege to have appeared.
