My current system is.............

Post by Sloop John B »

3 sources.

Naim CD555 CD player
Squeezebox Touch (with EDO enhancements) into Naim nDAC
Rega P3

Rarely spin a record these days, serious listening done on CDP while the ease of having one's collection at your fingertips on an iDevice and being able to create playlists wins the day more and more now that I have most of my collection ripped.

Pre-amp
Naim NAC552

Power amp
Naim NAC300


Speakers
Naim SL2


all this is housed on Naim Friam and uses Naim Powerlines, interconnects and speaker cables.

all a bit NAIM I know but that's where I've ended up.

I got bitten by the Naim bug some 10 years ago now with the speakers the last to succumb some 5 years ago.


There is a window behind the system which makes getting a good photo difficult, but this is the best my phone can do at the moment.

Nice system John. Cant see the speakers though. ;-)
I'll try to post mine later but I have a few potential upgrades happening in the coming weeks so I might wait till then. Went through some old photos of mine recently. Good grief I've gone through a lot of gear.

My hope is to start a thread where members would expand a little about their system.


While I'm aware some know intimately about some others' systems it could become an ice-breaker of a thread for new members as well as giving some indication of the breadth of different hifi about.

This thread is useless without pics! :-)

Great system HiFiFan. Only heard the Wilsons once at a show on the end of Devialet D-Premier. Sounded lovely.

Unable to post my actual set up... however here are web images of the major components.

Tuner... Pioneer very similar to the image below..fed by a Triax 5 element Yagi in the attic.

Image

Music Cassette...... Teac 6030S.

Image

CD player... Unico CD... shown here is the CDP ... not sure what the difference is but outwardly look the same.

Image

Tonearm.... Roksan Nima unipivot with Sumiko BP N°2. Coincidentally a very very very light tonearm... extremely lightweight. However large acrylic headshell, somewhat out of proportion to other tonearms. However I am impressed with the unipivot concept.... I think it works very well.

Image

Turntable... modified Thorens TD160... no image available as of yet...however I have plans for this at the moment... working on a new plaything!!

Phonostage.... Audio Research PH 7 with rack ears....Moving coil only...

Image

Amplifier..... Leben CS600.... currently running with 6L6GC valves....no introductions required for this one...

Image

Last but not least.... Speakers... B&W 801's... superseded by the 801D... and now 800.
