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.

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.

That's a lovely setup .......

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.

I remember doing this before (years back) though my system has changed quite a bit since then. Here is the current minimilist system (analog is gone for now)

Mac Mini with Pure Music/Audivarna
Berkeley Alpha USB & Berkeley Alpha DAC II
Merrill Audio VERITAS Mono blocks (Hypex NC1200 based)
Wilson Audio Sophia III speakers
Purist Audio Design Aqueous Aureus Interconnects and Speaker Cable
LessLoss DFPC Signature Power cables
Custom outlets based on Maestro outlets, Furutech covers and Patrick Cullen AC Parallel Filters

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.

Nice system can't post my liquorice all sorts room until I have decorated it as it currently looks like Fawlty Towers after a ransacking

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.



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



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



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.



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...



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



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 superseded by the 801D...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