No, nothing like that anywhere near us.
It isn’t, but the £’s vs gain is higher than I’m willing to pay.
The £’s vs gain in other areas, Dual Organik, LP12 Upgrades, SuperCap on the SuperLine would all be more relatable.
If I went 552, I’d then be thinking all of those upgrades would become essential AS WELL…![]()
The second arrival yesterday was Mrs Q’s Linn Majik DSM replacing the 202/200 ND5 XS2 system.
Though the Majik DSM doesn’t have the full breadth of sound delivered by the 202/200, it definitely punches well above its weight and delivers exactly what Mrs Q wanted in a single box solution.
Nice and trust that you’ll both enjoy the new systems.
DG…
…somewhere I read of strange effects to all sorts of things when near pylons…
…maybe networks…
You will have to look elsewhere for a cause for your network behaviour…
Has all of us foxed it would seem. Me, ISP, my Dealer and Naim🤷🏻♂️
It’s interesting that the problems only started following the Naim FW update for ND Streamers last fall and that none of the Linn Streamers are affected or my 3 MuSo’s…![]()
…seems Naim coding are the cause, and Naim should have an answer, but from what I know about IT (not much of course, - what do I know about anything) odd and strange behaviour in a single or ever a few incidents will not be sorted, too few resources and too little incentive…
Is that 3 IKEA Malm Chest of draws? It looks really nice. ![]()
Thanks! Yes, it‘s one twin MALM and a single one. Core, Goldnote Phono Pre-Amp and external Power Supply are behind the TV on a shelf attached to the MALM.
Hi Bevo
what speakers are you running with this system?
I alternate with the Neat Ultimatum XLS’s and Neat Petite 30th anniversary’s
Both marvellous
Cheers
My fellow Nainees
Your professional friendly input required
“Secondary “ system above
LP12 ARO/SL/SCDR
CDX2(transport )/ NDX 2/XPS2
NAIT 50
Needs rationalisation as not happy with 6 levels - need 5 levels max
Thoughts - CDX2 stays and no additional fraims , just want one stack
Tough one
Cheers
If you like physical CDs, drop the NDX2. Left field, get a Urika fitted into the LP12 and drop the SL and SC?
I knew a fellow kiwi would be the first to respond ha🤪
A number of ways to go Mike and probably whatever way would be a bit of a compromise
Don’t want to go the Urika / Radikal way as already have that on the LP12 40th down south
Maybe just drop the XPS2 - NDX2 gets the benefit from it but not CDX2
It’s a difficult one as one day the CDX2 will depart this earth, then what happens , when that happens it’s an argument to keep the NDX2 . Mind you have the CD5XS to fall back on.
Of course the most dramatic way would be to completely drop the SL/SCDR and go MM cartridge ( or High Input MC cartridge) using NAIT 50 phono stage ! ( I can hear the screams from here
) and keep the current Kandid as replacement for the one on the LP12 40th down south.
Lots of ways to go
Hm, complicated. If it’s your second system, where are the majority of the records? Which source do you use the most?
Excellent question Mike
Vinyl currently split 50/50 between the 2 locations which is probably rather stupid
One solution would be to locate the LP12’s down south but just to figure out what that might look like physically
No point in thinking about selling the LP12 ARO as no market and wouldn’t want to do that anyway , taken me 7 years to build up etc
If relocate the LP12 ARO then could have the second system on 4levels
CDX2
NDX2
NAIT 50
XPS2
Or 5 levels if bring out the nDAC to feed the CDX2
Might miss vinyl in Sydney pad though ha
Too much gear ha ![]()

You didn’t mention that. I don’t suppose you have a spare CD555 to…
Ha ha I only wish ![]()
You could swap the two LP12s so the one with the Urika is in Sydney - unless there is an SQ rationale for the current organisation.
