A jokes aside I am looking forward to the launch of these new classics. Iā€™ve been banging on about the pre amps needing an upgrade for ages. Itā€™s just a pity that unless like Mrs Mike I win lotto my journey is complete. These price increases havenā€™t helped, I may have to wait till the new new classics are released in 20 or so years. :grin:

I look at it this way

Down south I have the 252/SCDR/250DR

From memory cost me $33.3k, three and half years ago

Probably cost say $50k-$55k plus cables to replace that

With classic discounts that have gone on the changeover gap is massive

In twenty years Iā€™m pretty sure I wonā€™t be around, and if by some fluke I am Iā€™ll be a damn sight poorerā€¦

Soā€¦ Iā€™ll look forward to reading your review of the New New stuffā€¦er, somehow! :ghost:

The website confirms the following on the phono stage:

ā€¦the NVC TT phono preamplifier and its dedicated power supply NPX TT

Confirming it, and the PSU option to power it directly vs a powered 8 pin DIN (that the NSC222 offers).

Not wanting to poke any bears/disturb any hornets, but the 8 pin DIN on the NSC222 means that combined power/signal cables are still with us?

-5 I was.

Still want to buy an amp & tt from 1978

I was 5, and 40 miles away in Bath my dad was building a pair of speakers from a Wharfedale kit to go with his Sansui receiver and Garrard turntable. I was probably trying to cut my sisterā€™s hair or some other mischief.
