Yes, would be funny too
But as the same members are engaged with the two topics, and talking about same gear, from 52 to 552 and 135 to 500 dr, itās a bit similar topic. Both, Drago and Dan, had the same original system: 52 with 135. One upgraded first to 552, the other first to 500 dr.
And in a week they will have both 552/500 dr.
Well I havenāt heard the NC stuff but having now had the 552/300 for 5 months I can only concur. Itās quite hypnotic no matter the genre, just stunning. Every time I put the radio on or play a CD or record Iām utterly absorbed. But I would also add that you equally need the right speakers for the room to do it justice.
The Urika/Radikal is a Linn amplifier. I think I would have one in a Linn system but for me keeping all the amplification Naim makes a lot of sense especially at the higher end. But I also understand the neatness of the Urika and the reduced box count. It is an important point for many. I think either solution is fine, just depends on your own philosophy. And also a good A/B demo
Iād disagree. I donāt care for Linn amps, but the Urika is as good and āgroovyā as the Supercap/Superline to these ears.
Given the potential savings in terms of money and space that the Urika provides (assuming you have a Radikal), Iād say anyone thinking of this route should hear both.
The Geddon had to go Bevo because I preferred Urika ( not by too much though) That was with Naim pre and power amps. Lowering box count is a big bonus with ny system in my room. I agree that both are excellent phono stages and Iād be happy with either of your decks.
Loved the Prefix when I had one, never really got on with the Superline. The Urika was simply way better and better still as the Radikalās improved. With the K Radikal 2 itās simply sensational.
Not maybe the obvious place to ask but not sure where would be the obvious nowā¦
Does anyone know anything about when/if the Utopik upgrade for Radikal will be available? Given what it did for my KDS3, I think it would be amazing on a Urika.
