Not a Pioneer Kuro surely?
You’ll have to ask Matteo, @anon96829450. I only “enhanced” his original photo for him. That’s not my system!

Left stack … NDX, Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, SuperCap (NonDR), Schiit Lyr 2 Headphone amp, Sennheiser HD650’s
Right Stack … NAC 252, NAP 250DR
Speaker(s) … Totem Acoustic Hawks …
I’ve just realized that it’s a bit incongruous to see the Lee Child book next to the Rupert Bear Annuals.

My new NDX2 \ Supernait 2 combo was due to be picked up today at the new hi-fi corner shop in Edinburgh, but unfortunately the NDX 2 was flashing error codes out of the box, so in the meantime they have loaned me a new ND5 XS2 whilst they get another one from Naim.
I have to say the combination sounds fantastic. A BIG step up from the previous Nova driving my setup. More depth, crisper timing, greater dynamics, more punch to the bass, less harsh highs. How much of that is the SN2 and how much is the ND5 XS2 , I don’t know, but it’s a pretty great combo.
I use Harbeth SHL5 plus 40th anniversary speakers on something solid stands with 2 x 5M terminated lengths of Black Rhodium Foxtrot cables. Using standard powerline lite power cables and the standard Naim DIN interconnect. Can’t wait to try my NDX 2 with it.

I have Hawks in my second system with a Uniti2. Nice to know that they have more in them if you are using a 252/250 set up.
ROB-Z,…Up with your TV on the wall,…the turntable also on a wall-shelf.
Your streamer and amplifier on a two-shelf Mana,buy it second hand.
Throw out the furniture you have between the speakers,…maybe move the speakers together a little,and make a new “tuning” on the speakers.
But before that,…mount spikes under your speakers,and put Naim Fraim Chips under your spikes.
Then report what you got for results…

Looking forward to it…thanks
Loved mine. The plasma to end all plasmas before they stopped making them and handed over to Panasonic!
In 2008, it was the entry level model and cost 2,200 € !
Matteo, still got my 50 inch Kuro, and it’s still going strong. I have yet to tempted by the new 4 k screens.
Here is a current picture sans NDX 2 and a new more appropriate rack (which will hopefully come on Saturday).

Love the table also…speakers look similar to my old leak set. Hopefully get my ND5 next week
What you get may be sonically better, but I love that piece of furniture you are using now. Very cool!
I have a DV Te Kaitora Rua on my aro too. Perfect match, light detailed and spacious while maintaining the traditional old fruitbox boogie. Never really felt the need to look further up the chain ( or am I just a scaredy-cat ) Still driving my speakers with a lovely 300 ( now DR-ed) which if memory serves used to be in your employ!
I have had them a long time and they’ve responded well to every upgrade from the early days of the 202/200 … part of me wishes that they would top out so that I could go looking for replacements. But no such luck so far …
