That's SP2000 in custom Valentium case (crocodile leather)

Quick question -- I'm thinking of turning this into a stack with Cayin C9. Does anyone have any good recommendations/links to rubber bands to keep it together? Extra good if they're... you know, cool hifi branded bands :D

A simple little fix for me to do today. Noticed after a few hours of use the C9 and N6ii became warm.
So I affixed four small self adhesive clear rubber pads on each unit to lift the N6ii up and to the bottom of the C9. This allows air movement to the two units and also protects the units from scratching each other.
In addition, this prevents small movements when stacked causing the units to slip off. It's ideal and now I can listen without worrying about the slightest of movements bringing the units crashing down.

The warmer the better it sounds , but if you prefer less hot and less great sound then feeling better is better.

Is this possibly true. I'm now beginning to think the same way as my home Tube Amp works in the same way.... The N6ii and C9 still warm up nicely but do not get overtly hot which has been an item of concern with the C9.

Dwelling on this in my non professional mind.... They N6ii and C9 would always reach their optimal temperatures of operation after an amount of time. My solution allows for this optimal temperature to be kept constant without allowing the units to overheat excessively. Just my mad five minutes of thought and OCD coming in to play 😂

Indeed that is true especially for home speakers and transient demands, been doing audio since I was 10 years old and thats been 55 years now:scream: LOL

I’ve seen more speakers destroyed by nasty under powered amps its not amusing! Lack of good quality power and the nasty distortion it can create is a speakers worst enemy but of course that’s just this old coots opinion:wink: As a matter of fact I’ve found it better to have a quality amp with more power than a speakers recommended wattage than the opposite:beerchug:
