Anyone heard the Platina yet ?

Off thread but I shipped out of the uk to DUBAI fir many years, I had a blast and did some amount of travelling and it allowed me to semi retire at 50….. Opportunities are what you make of them. There is no righ5 or wrong, just what you make of it…..

now you need stands; I highly recommend SolidSteel SS range; They have brought my stand mounted speakers to life [unless JBL ship with dedicated stands ?]

I know what I would do if I was "forced" into that compromise. a pair of ATC SCM7 or 11's mounted on isoacoustic isolators. of course it'll not sound optimum, but it'll stil sound good at moderate volumes. it'll not be true hifi, but you will get a nice crisp sound at relative volumes. the ATC...

The only risk of the “one box solution “ is component failure leaving you bereft of music… My evo150 has served me well but is in the process of being chopped in for amp, streamer and possibly outboard DAC. Horses for courses. I noted the Naim Nova PE recent price drop if you like class D…..

Has a bit of reshuffling this week with some equipment and some new incoming bits and pieces… Shoved the Ex combo into my snug. A couple of teething issues with the amp muting itself on HDMI selection, but I gotta say, I think this amp is possibly underestimated and underpriced….. I had it...

My study system (temporary) even more minimal… EVO150 into ATC SCM11. Surprisingly good.. Albeit temporary before I do another hifi shuffle…

I’ve gone minimal over the Xmas in my living room. Node Icon, Nait 50, incumbent TX9s. It’s great 😊

Not sure that’s downsizing ?

I had a bit of a hifi reshuffle last week.. Ended up with my SCM11 on the end of my EXA100 I was very very surprised at the musicality. Lovely….. I think I might keep it like that over Xmas…..

Honestly? No chance and I assume you know this. Your DSM is a league ahead of almos5 anything and the 40a will pair so well…. It’s arguably one of the greatest systems you can achieve! Nothing less will ever compare and that’s how you ended up WITH DSM 40A…. in saying that, the following tiny...

Absolutely sorted for now I think……… TX9 are so easily driven the NN50 got hold of them. The EXA 100 now got good grip of the ATCs….. SORTED !

Didn’t buy it, almost wish I had, but done a hifi reshuffle today Nait50 now in the big room and looks diminutive

They are. Very good… but the power amp alone is brilliant with the right source. The icon acts as a source/preamp 👍🏻 The Linn DSM even better, but neither is “cheap”…. Still need to demo the Platina though to make sure…

Rega SOLIS incoming I think.. I made the dreadful mistake of listening to it today in the absence of the Platina being available….. Also listened to the A21SE and I-A4 from Sugden, but the Rega is on another level….. Will get a demo at home before purchase, but it’s arguably the right decision...
