I thought you would be! At one point I thought I may get it for a lot less but there were c90 people watching it so I just went in with my max of £3100. I think I caught an auction on a quiet night!

Better get listing my Sarum T loom now stat!!!

Yep, looks like I might have to buy one new so I will ping a few dealers in the morning to see what price I can get :+1:

So with S XPS email Darren at DNA Audio and say you got details from me. He knows who I am. Or try Audio Affair. They will both do a deal on S XPS cable mate. Or pick one up used if you can.

Thanks Dan, very much appreciate that :slight_smile:

It has been a crazy weekend of splashing the cash, but as you know I have wanted the 555DR for quite some time and feel it will really complete my system. Especially with the additional investment I have made in the SL cables and 156, which should net out once I have sold the Sarum T.

Lucky my wife is away this week so she won’t see it all get delivered!!!

As you have just bought from Audio Affair they will do you a good deal. Richard Grove is Sales Manager. Very helpful. Been speaking to him but he lost sale narrowly to DNA Audio.

I’ll try and message them now. Feel like a kid waiting for xmas day to come round now. I am very excited to see what it does to my system.

Interestingly the SL Din-XLR cables went for £1,550, which is more than I would have wanted to spend on them. The price also seems expensive compared to what I have paid for the 555DR!

Mate, tread carefully with Mrs. I hope she is very understanding! :muscle:

All my exes (there are several) have turned their noses up when they have seen new gear. The response has either been silent or why aren’t you spending money on me? Maybe put a sheet over it :thinking:

I hear you, she will be ok though once she knows I have funded a lot of it by selling other stuff :+1:

It will be interesting to see if the 555DR hums. I will plug it into my existing setup first when it arrives rather than the 156 to see.

I paid £1200 for din to xlrs. I was happy with that price.

My two 555PSDRs don’t hum at all. Puritan or not. It will be fine. 2018 and 2021 models.

You got a good price for the cables, which is probably what my max would have been for them if bidding. I’m not even going to think about that though, plenty of new toys to keep me going for a long time! I really cannot wait to hear what it does :slight_smile: :champagne: :cocktail: :tropical_drink: :beer: :beers: :clinking_glasses: :tumbler_glass:

I think Acoustica are closed on Mondays but they should post Tuesday so I will have it by Wednesday all being well.

I think they still come in on mondays. Just closed to public mondays. They may get it out tomorrow.

I reckon if you had bought off auction the best price would have been £3850. So you have saved a good £850.

I bought my 2018 which is 500 finish for £3950. I knocked him down £300 as well.

So you have done brilliantly! :beers: :wine_glass: :champagne: :muscle: :tumbler_glass: :cocktail: :tropical_drink: :maté:

I am very pleased. I also got my NDX2 from one of their auctions and got that at a very reasonable price too. You simply cannot beat the bay for a good deal!
