The HugoTT has a turquoise light
I’m loving all these system pics. The fact that I’ve no idea what a lot of the tackle is just adds to the wonder and fascination.
Fantastic👍
How does it compare to the bare NDX? Been thinking of one of these for a while - TT Mk1s now appear to be quite decent value (in Hi-Fi terms)?
FWIW I had a MK1 TT with NDX a few years ago and didn’t think it as good as the original Hugo.

Love my system, it’s ridiculous value for money and punches well above its weight…but it does look very restrained in comparison with most on here, and with my own previous kit
Monobarik Xmas.
That should get your baubles swinging.
Very festive- looks fab.
Chord DAC’s can be polarizing and are system dependent in my experience. I hated the Qutest with my ND5XS2 when I had the 282. I then moved on to the NDX2/XPSDR with the 282 which was excellemy.
However, the NDX2/XPSDR was in my experience too polite and a bit boring when I upgraded to the 252. I found the bare NDX2 better.
I took a flyer on the HugoTT since it was cheap and I figured if I didn’t like it I could sell without a big loss… I am a bit shocked how good this combo works. It adds more resolution, tonality and depth without killing the PRAT, organic sound, cohesiveness and verve that Naim gear excels in.
I would try one if you can because in some Naim systems the Chord DAC’s can sound thin, forward and lack cohesion. It’s like the music is pulled apart and sounds clinical.
Need to find a decent one in Black
Great room.
Some tweaks in my System with Silent Angel Bonn N8 Switch, Furutech e-TP60e NCF Power Distributor and Power Cable and IFI IPower X. And a wonderful Sunday with preparing for Christmas and a nice view from our house to the snow landscape in Switzerland.
Definitely the last change for the year…
LP12 on spinning duty. Nothing fancy spec wise - it’s an old 80’s spec with Aformosia Fluted plinth, an Ittok and Troika) and It has some sort of carbon sub chassis and an off board Hercules 2 power supply and a trampolin2 fitted. Could do with a bit of love cosmetically but is otherwise sound. It sounds pretty good too - it’s very different to my P8 though which is getting boxed up as our newish kitten has taken a shine to it
There’s a forest in front of the left speaker, does it affect sq?
Not much actually.
Your system looks awesome. Love the Olive and the Ovators. Have you considered an NDX2 and a hard drive like the Core, instead of HDX?
