I am on a mission to get the very best from my Naim IBLs and in the last couple of years have used 5p pieces under the spiked feet to stop the spikes digging into our oak flooring.
I recently cleaned up the speakers and put them back on the floor but this time I used 1p pieces under the spikes as I thought they would look better than the shinny 5ps against the oak. At first I thought the sound had improved a lot and put it down to me cleaning all the plugs. Over the past few days I have been thinking maybe the sound is a touch brighter than it used to be and a bit splashy at the top.
Just to rule out the change of coinage under the spikes I switched back to 5ps. The sound has certainly changed again and is now maybe too soft and mushy compared to the 1ps.
No, this is not a wind up, nor is it 1st April.
I just wondered if anybody else has used coins under spikes and which is best. I guess if the £1 is reckoned to be the one I could stretch to eight of those.
Has anybody compared Naim CHIPS with small change? Ive never taken the CHIPS too seriously as they seem to cost a stupid amount of money for what one gets, but after my recent experience I might just be persuaded.
