Love you too Gazza! it took so long!!
Hopefully so. Keep the ND555 at bay for a few weeks eh?
So I am trying to eek as much as I can out of NDS. 2 555PS DRs. EE8 switch and Audioquest Vodka Ethernet. Letās see what improvements this yields.
The NDS is sounding very very good anyhow with re cable dressing. Moving boxes and keeping burndys apart. And fairly recent Super Lumina I/C.
Anyhow, it will make way for ND555 if it doesnāt yield mega positive results!
So is this going to be the first 4 box Naim streamer?
Did you run 2 x 555PSDRs with NDS?
Others had positive results.
At least what you have now is amazing and youāre happy with it! Thatās all that counts.
Did the naim guy say this was important? How did you manage to solve this? I have a burndy highway and no way separating them without loads of foam which in return stiffens the burndys. So hang loose together or separated and stiffened. All these compromises.
You must be Kiddingā¦
I will let mine switched off for a while ā¦ mine is 2021 as well.
Not too fast - kills all the fun.
Nd555 on order?
My installer said he didnāt think it would make much difference.
But me being me I had to have a fiddle! @Drago isnāt the only one.
Thatās why I swapped 552 and 555 over.
Maybe itās in my mind but I am happier with it now. Blame @Drago, the master cable dresser/ fiddler.
ND555 thinking
F### this stuff is good! Can I contain myself?
Be careful with the vodka (cable) - it is pushy but also a bit edgy.
Phoenix net?
Iād wager a Farad 3 on the EE8 will add more than a second 555 PS, not to mention the vast difference in cost.
Master I am, my apprentice
Itās all more for peace of mind.
But this helps a lot!
I love this BB
Maybe I am a cable master, but you really took over in upgrade speed, which was not that easy
Maybe get one of those too! The 555PSDR is paid for, delivered Thursday!
Good call
Having given it some thought , whilst I could see myself with a Sim Plinth (sustainable hard wood) an Audio Origami tonearm etc, it would be far more practical to buy the next turntable in the ClearAudio range and transfer the arm.
best wishes

Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare?
This is the tale of two hares chasing their dreams.
We run fast Drago. You have an ND555. I have an LP12 Klimax. Thereās not much in it!
Congratulations to us both! Superb systems.
NDS sounds awesome through 552 and 500. So I reckon these new upgrades will give a big uplift.
