Thank you, it all depends on Naim getting the bits to finish the job. Two thirds of the job is done, just two more pieces to go.
Hi PB, and according to the title of this thread maybe the time has come to get GIK involved with a view to achieve the best sound ever for your retirement system ATB Peter
Can’t really see what you have done there, Nigel. Can you explain?
Hi Nigel,
There is a single 10mm spur into an un-switched socket on the left. The right socket is where the speaker cables, coax cables and digital cable for the AV side are hidden through the walls.
You’ll be knitting next Nigel.
Thanks Nigel, very neat.
BTW what mains distribution box are you panning to use?
That dedicated mains spur should sound great with your newly DR’d kit. I hope you will feed back when you get your kit back.
Well I am doing everything else at the moment!
Thanks Nigel, I have an old Audioworks block for now until the system settles down. When it has I will look for a more suitable block and power cables.
Obviously, I will be reporting back when the kits back, I am expecting good things
A good friend of mine is recommending the Musicworks Reflex power block is this a good recommendation?
Yes i have had the G3 and now the G4. I am sure Alistair at Signals would send you one for demo purposes.
Thanks Gaza, I will investigate. I am also interested in the Titan range of blocks and chords. However, I am still waiting for some of the kit to turn up from Salisbury. Peter has most of it back but the 500 and 555 head units are still with Naim.
I also have the G3 with the sparkly bottom upgrade - don’t ask, Alastair will explain. It is very good with a noticeable uplift in SQ.
Well, what a f***king mess, my 500 is stuck in Salisbury there are no parts to do the 500 DR. I can have my kit back but without a 500DR. Which is the bit of kit I wanted DRing most of all.
If the 500 comes back in serviced and as standard it has to go back at a later date which means more disruption in our household.
Considering we have been without any system for so long now, I am seriously unhappy!
You can’t make it up can you extremely poor indeed.
Ouch !
Hard to believe Naim took your 500 knowing they didn’t have the parts in stock to complete the job, things appear to be slacking at HQ.
One would think that parts availability would be checked before accepting to do the service and upgrade.
Especially when this has been planned specifically for the right time. We have spent a fortune setting up a new music room and getting it ready for the system to return.
Sorry to hear Nigel. I guess it’s the times we’re in right now.
I’m aware that certain parts for DR are and have been in extremely short supply of late, and what you think you’re getting you may find you don’t receive, or doesn’t make the grade, which makes forward planning difficult, so I think it’s currently not at all easy for either Naim or Naim’s loyal customers.
This is where having a little NAP110 stashed away for just such times comes in handy…
