Time for a change?

Just some generic conical aluminium feet … … … “What difference can it make?” … … … shoot me now. :flushed:

I had intended to replace them with Fraim chips, ready and waiting, at the last strip down, but couldn’t see a way to safely remove the 500 head unit from the Fraim without doing my back in … … … though Pete from Acoustica seemed to have no trouble slotting it in when he installed it … … … “Stand back Dave, I’ll get it” … … … and there it was, in.

I’ve worked things out now, and the Chips will be going in soon.

What fun we do have. :rofl:

Hi Dave… I was just thinking, reading this… if I ever needed help with spring cleaning duties and shifting the heavier Naim boxes in future… I’d have to rope in my sons for the heavier lifting. Sure as hell won’t be the girl…

As men and Naim folk, I daresay we like our Naim stuff with some considerable heft within reason, for substance and the outlay.

I’m going to stretch everyday meanwhile… am losing my suppleness and feeling it…

Meanwhile… it’s quite a feeling touching a Naim box on a daily basis… I miss those days.

In time…

Cheers

We’re always having fun Dave, I surprised myself on Friday when I boxed the 500 head unit, I was expecting it to be a lot heavier and I lifted it with no issues at all. Probably the heaviest thing I have lifted since coming out of hospital.

I will be placing a large chip order with Pete soon. I already have an order in for longer speaker cable and longer RCA to Dins for the AV kit.
I intend to have the stack further away from the speakers and the cables hidden in the wall to tidy the room up.

Cheers,

PB

Hi PB,

I used IsoAcoustics Gaia with my Focal 1008IIs. When I switched to the SBLs I put them back in their boxes but after a couple of months experimented, and they have remained; more economical than the Townshends and available via web sources with a 30 day trial period.

I wonder if PB will be having a glass coffee table as well, something he’s always contested!

Don’t worry, we have a lovely big rug on order to help tame the treble :blush:

Another good endorsement, I will be considering them when I get the system up and running again. :blush:

123

Just a thought I’ve seen how particular you are about setup. :+1:t2:

And still continue to contest Lindsay, although I may concede to Karen and have some wooden topped tables for when we want a drink in front of the telly.

Hanging offence time, but what about a Magnum Dynalab as an alternative to the NAT01 ?

Now off to seek political asylum in a South American embassy
