Great photo and nice system! I have a similar system but with an NDX2, 300DR and Sopra No.1s. How do you find the Diablo’s?

Thank you mate, they are without a doubt the best speaker I have ever owned. my original system was a nacn272, nap250dr and sopra1, I did change the speakers early on and have shown me the difference with each upgrade. they are a little bit smoother in presentation in comparison to sopra

I have spent a lot of money recently getting to the system I have now so I am not looking to change anything for a long time; but I think going to the Diablo’s would be my next move at some point in the far future! Do you have any pics? Would love to see them in your system :+1:

Of course, I think if you can get a pair at the right price then go for it but do it when your ready.

They look great, I love the colour. I agree, I am in no rush at all and the Sopra No.1s are great; but if I see a deal in the future, I will consider it. I am a big fan of stand mount speakers over floor standing ones if locating a system in a lounge/living space. They need to be part of the furniture :+1:

Im not mate, they have some chord Sarum on the website which is what brought me to them. only dealt with them today.

sounds brilliant

Yes I bought a Sarum DIN to RCA IC a few months ago from Paul at Moorgate

Sounds great between NDX2 and NAC 282

here’s a question, that same cable you have. would it work the other way round? so from my phono stage to my 552

I am not sure because most I/C’s are directional aren’t they !

Evening mate, hope your well?

Yea quite a few changes, Iv been wanting to have a music collection of my own for ages and found with streaming that I never really listened to albums so I sold the nds with two psus, bought the turntable and phono stage, some records, that happened about 4 months ago. Iv been buying all my fave albums which I’m really pleased about then last month bought the nap500.

When I got the turntable it was different to steaming sound wise but overall around the same in quality. Now I have both 500 series components, it’s stunning
