How’s your system sounding? You have made huge changes to cables with full loom Super Lumina and the 555PSDR must have made a big difference. Share your views! You have done all the right things.
Feel that the Super Lumina speaker cables are now sounding better. Sound is more refined and silky. I can understand why some prefer Naca 5 though. Different character. There is more to come I feel.
Been listening to system since I got back from hospital. It just blows me away.
If I couldn’t afford it the standard cables are great even with full 500 series. We are talking incremental changes and tone controls here. It’s the main boxes and speakers that really count.
But yes full loom Super Lumina is just even better. Sound is faultless. Loving the system.
Very good indeed. The speaker cables are definitely taking time to bed down and so I am playing music as often as possible.
I think I am now happy with the cable dressing on my boxes and also the positioning of the 156 and power cables, I just need to work on the placement of the speaker cables a bit more. They are about 0.5 metre too long and so need to snake round a bit; but I wanted to go with the minimum recommended length.
All of the above are only tweaks though, it is sounding very good indeed. Based on my experience the Super Lumina really gets the best out of a NDX2/252/300DR system.
Hey, you’ve done it! Cable dressing is much better than mine. System looks superb my friend. Just bought CDP arriving in late January. Going to use it as CD Transport. Marantz SA12SE. Brand new. Half priced. Peter Tyson
It’s the wrong time of year for selling “luxury” items on eBay. In November you have all the black Friday sales taking peoples “discretionary” money, and then in December it will be xmas spending, then a long January for bank balances to recover. Its probably Feb/Mar before you see eBay prices recover. It’s always been this way on eBay for the last 20 years.
I good time to buy though as some bargains do pop up, like there is a pair of Sarum T DIN to XLR (for 300/500) ending to night with bidding at £600.
I don’t like to leave stuff hanging round. You can tell average used prices on eBay and that’s what is a fair sale. I just picked up an 8month old NAC332 for 58% of new, and sold on my 222 same day on eBay for 62% of new. Fair enough as it was bought ex dem. So the upgrade cost me £1400. Happy with that.
One of those 3 items is now sold! Just listed another 2. Having a clear out of HiFi stuff. I seem to have accumulated a fair bit I no longer use. Various cables and bits and bobs
My Sarum T speaker cable has now also been sold. I think it demonstrates you need to be patient when selling items of this value. You will get dozens of people watching the listing who are not really ever going to make the purchase (I do this…I’m like a kid in a sweet shop!); but a serious buyer will eventually come along and bite your hand off if you can agree a fair price.
I’ve had much more success on eBay at selling, and for reasonable money. I sold my DAC V1. Some joker on another site insisted I give him a discount. He never came back after I asked his questions. He wanted it posted for “under £300.” Really painful.
Stuck it on eBay and it was gone in under two days. Got full price, too.
Ive bought and sold a bit on PFM, but some of the buyers on there…want to pay nothing. And often no idea what they are buying. Lots of questions, then a stupid offer…
