So pleased listening to my newly acquired 282. The sound is a major step up from the 202! Just loving it.

And my dealer has got a pre-loved NAP 250 DR!!! Arghhh…. :roll_eyes::joy:

Yep it was my 39 year old Ittok. Since the pic was taken I’ve gone Ekos SE but the Ittok was a workhorse for me all those years. It was quite emotional saying goodbye to it tbh😢 …… but this is my world now……

To add to what others have said, that’s a lovely looking deck.

And, I assume, a non-Linn plinth. What is the wood?

That xx-2 is what I have in mind to replace my Benz ACE sl sometime next year.
RB3000 and Cyrus phono signature are ready for the DV.

That’s exactly the route I took. Benz Micro Ace SL → XX2. You won’t regret it.

You’re not alone…I too was sad to see my long-faithful Ittok LVII go. Although the better arm, I have a few years to go before my Ekos SE is as dear to me.

With all the upgrades you’ve done recently, are you able to separate out and say what the arm has brought to the party. It’s an upgrade which is in my sights for next year. Cheers!

That’s the problem Graeme. Not really. Of the 3 recent upgrades (Kore → Keel, Ittok → Ekos SE, Cyrus Phono Signature-> Rega Aura) I would say Keel/Rega/Ekos.
But the overall effect is stupendous

I’ll bet it is! I wouldn’t be able to tear myself away from it.

Listening to some classic jazz on my little record player is so enjoyable. It’s great that the old vinyl spinners come in all shapes and sizes.

Is the Dave new? Were you using a Qutest before?

Hi,
Thanks for the kind words and placement idea. I just pulled the trigger on a "new " burndy, so I will need to do some connecting. I was thinking about switching the streamer with the Supercap, would that achieve the same end? Not sure my cables would fit if I moved the SC to the bottom shelf. Any other setup thoughts, I have a hum at 9 oclock that is interconnect dependant from the SUT, looking to get it to 12. I rarely go to 10. Cable dressing has improved it tremendously, but looking to eke out every drop over performance.
