It probably was. Impeccable mint condition 5 yrs old. It was scary how little it seems to be worth in NZ with its tiny market. I’ll just sit tight. I am very happy to have it back, really missed it. It ain’t going anywhere.
Yes, it’s a funny market. A 2015 NAP 250DR was listed on TM on the weekend and sold within 2 days I think.
@Mike_S It is such a definitive amplifier that it will always be sought after. The 272 and 555 have a smaller market.
There’s a lot of love and misunderstanding for the mighty 272, it’s a simple and effective pre amp.
Yes Pete, one of the best
@sandman
Any recommendations for scotch. I’m really enjoying trying different ones
Yes, I think I may have a few…
Where are you located? I’m in NY.

Was going to ask Pete - when you had your 272 did you have the XPS PS attached to it ?
I’m a little confused ( which is easy) does the power supply drive the pre amp or streamer section or maybe can have 2 PS driving both components - Supercap for pre amp section and XPS for streaming section ?
Yes I did but I’m not sure what it drives, my assumption would be both.
Exciting, he’s edging to the starting block people
The external power supply powers both the preamp and streamer. Bypassing the power supply in the 272 gives better performance. However you cannot use two power supplies with the 272, unlike the NDS and ND555. I think I’ve got that right.
That’s a bit of a bummer IDAK
Be interesting to see what 2023 brings
I registered on hifi shark fir Naom ovator speakers and i regularly get an email about a new pair in NZ……not been sold for years now.
There’s 2 pairs advertised on Trade Me, The same ones seem to keep on popping up.
I’m actually very happy to have the system back. I retire in 18 months so may do the final upgrade then. In the meantime it sounds
Must be the same ones.
Yep , as yet I haven’t jumped into
streaming ( do have a core though) so just thinking about all my options going forward
I hate to break it to you, but you are streaming!
I think the S600s have been on sale for about 2 years.
Yeah but not like that other bloke @Pete_the_painter and you going the whole hog ha:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
