Any Naim owners on here? If so, care to share what you have with a photo?

I'll get the ball rolling with a photo of an interesting set-up, Naim Uniti 2 all in one system (CD, streaming, amp) along with a Witchhat Audio power amp. The latter's a small manufacturer that makes matching power amps for Naim kit (the CDP on the bottom is a spare!) We've got this running Focal Aria 926 speakers.

Tell us more about the Witchhat? Don't have any Naim kit at the moment but that may change soon with an NDX
They're a small manufacturer that design and make the power amps in the UK, along with a range of cables (mostly) designed for Naim kit. They make both a stereo version of this power amp (seen here) and monoblocks. In most cases we'd partner a Uniti system with a Naim branded power amp as an upgrade path (usually a NAP 200, or NAP 250) but we'd just been asked to try the little Witch Hat amp and its an interesting alternative to a NAP in some cases. You need to hear one for yourself though to decide whether its interesting enough to choose over a NAP.

As for the Naim NDX, its a good bit of kit - the most popular of their network players for serious systems. What are you pairing it with?

One of my old system:

CDX/102/250/HiCap2/NAPSC. Used to run it into a pair of Celestion A2s which I still have. Sold the Naim a while back and bought a Cyrus 8vs2 as a stop-gap. It's so good, I never got round to replacing it and it's still here...!
Nice set-up that!

Now that's showing off wink Very nice, like the Garrard set-up as well, nice to see one mounted in something contemporary for a change!
