I’m about to start my days listening, that thread is almost mine for about 5 hours. I’ve even started answering my own posts.

So perhaps you’re right.

They keep the lovely informative colour screen on the 272 v2.

But they go for the blank faced classical Naim blackness on the 372.

No screen, as a statement of commitment to SQ.

It’s more a case of not being able to arrange side-by-side comparisons. In my current system, I had only heard the NDX2 on demo, in a different setup, plus I’ve demoed speakers, Everything else has been on faith - try at home and return if not happy. I wouldn’t be able to compare a 272/555/250 against a NDX/XPS DR/SN2 for example. In any event, having the Nova I wanted the new streaming tech, which only left the option of the NDX2 over the 272. Well, it’s not a hardship, I’d love either system anyway.

I’m being to think Nigel’s (or Steve or Mark) is a vampire. I thought FR was the last night specialist. But it is nice to have company.

Yep, I think any 272 replacement should have the posh new screen, even a 372. It is just too sexy to leave out. (I am very old BTW, so my idea of sexy has changed in recent years).

The battery on my iPad has run out, but before you 272 fanboys breathe a sigh of relief, I have grabbed the wife’s iPad and have settled down to binge-watch Homeland on Netflix (6 seasons to go).

If you’re ever allowed to travel again and in Sydney I’m sure Harry can organise a demo. Guess it helps having the one dealer of 25 years.

Excellent show, however last season was a tad disappointing. But definitely worth watching.

Am I able to talk about Homeland on here or would that be seen as a shallow attempt to up my posts and challenge 5th place?

I’m not the thread police but there’s a few that are (think there all asleep now though).

OK, but don’t tell me what happens!

No I’m not I thought YOU wanted too. My lips are sealed.

I am only on season 2.

Don’t tell me it was the Butler.

Sorry, you guessed it and with the candle stick.

All jokes aside think it was season 5 was some of the best tv I’ve seen.

I haven’t seen this, is it worth watching? I’m currently lining up the new season of Star Trek, just finished Away.

There’s always the Fraim police for a bit of variety…

You guys are going to be in so much trouble for thread drift when people wake later.

It is very good telly, if you like spy/terroirist/political intrigue.

Actually I am feeling a bit guilty posting such short, off-topic stuff, and the OP and HH are going to have a fit when they see this tomorrow.

Is 5th place worth it I ask myself?

Damn right, they are all asleep anyway.

Back to the 272, mine is sounding wonderful this morning. Even my neighbour complimented me, well I think she was I couldn’t hear her over the music.
