I bought my 272 five years ago today, on 31 July 2015, together with its friend, a 250DR. They made themselves at home with my PMC twenty.23s and Quadraspire SVT. Since then it’s been joined by a 555PS, a 300DR, SL2s, a Fraim, SL cables and a MusicWorks mains block. To stop it getting lonely it now has two playmates: a Rega Planar 6 and a Naim NAT05.
It’s given me countless hours of pleasure listening to music over those five years.
So happy birthday to you, 272.
(and before anyone says ‘272 fanboy’ etc., say what you like, I don’t care!)
Happy birthday to it HH, nice. Mine is similar but omits the tt and tuner and did have PMC 23s but now survives on ATC SCM40s, and the 272 dates from May 2018 so is only a toddler by comparison.

It’s a tremendous 4 box system.
Congrats! It’s always great to find a piece of gear you love that just makes you want to buy more music. I feel the same way about my LP12 that was adopted.
