NAStiest Looking NAS ever!!

Ooer, what were those NAS boys thinking?

On Ebay ​

 

Just a naff photo IMHO - I'd quite like a white one!

Tony.

 

seriously

 

Just buy a can of white paint and Bob's yer uncle! Be sure to buy special 'audiophile' grade paint, tough, otherwise you risk killing the tunes.

 

Yeah I quite like it too. Base certainly looks better than that awful faux marble greeny crap

 

But it looks like it was carved from a giant extra strong mint!!

I have great respect for Mr Fletcher's engineering skills, but I sometimes seriously doubt his taste - I've always had my doubts about the faux marble, but this takes the biscuit.

 

Isn't that a photo of an art gallery somewhere?

I like extra strong mints!
It is a home job though isn't it? Paint finish doesn't look great in the pic and theres no NAS badge on the front

 

Looks like a birthday cake missing a few candles

 

I'm not entirely sure but I think its the genuine article. After all what kinda numbnuts would take a can of spray paint to a couple of grands worth of record deck.

 

He he he - it looks like a lovechild cross between a 1950s escalator balustrade and a Voyd Valdi I think it looks wicked - if nothing else, it'll hide the dust

 

Prefer it to the usual fake turquoise marble :chunder:

 

funnily enough Ive read that tom fletcher chose the faux marble patterns to cover dust.

 

Would look good next to my iBook!

 

lol yes, must be the ispace or something. Bound to shift thousands

 

Urgh, it looks pretty foul to me too, up there with the wooden-box jobbie I saw reviewed in one of the mags recently as I flicked the pages in WHSmiths. What is Tom thinking at times?

White Hyperspace

I like it!
I was quite keen to buy it, and spoke to Tom Fletcher about it.
Ir's a genuine NAS product, they only made a handfull (about 4) in white, around 10 years ago.
What put me off was that Tom's view was that a current Spacedeck would outperform it.

 

He may be right of course, but cynical old me wonders if..."a new spacedeck outperforms a used hyperspace because a new spacedeck will make tom fletcher money and a used hyperspace will not"

One things for sure, I wouldnt trust mr Fletcher, or any salesman in any shop to give me unbiased advice on whether I should buy used from ebay or new !.

 

Actually, I think you are being over cynical, as I did not say new, I said current spec. I told Tom I was considering the white Hyperspace or a two year old Spacedeck.
As it happens I missed the Spacedeck on eBay, and following a dem at Walrus I'll be ordering a new one.
