My system currently is CDS3/XPSDR/252/SCDR/300DR with PMC Fact 12. Powerlines throughout on Full Fraim.
I have the chance of ONE of the following:
a) 552DR in place of 252/SCDR or
b) 555DR in place of XPSDR.
Music taste is varied but mainly light rock, 70;s and 80’s.
Not going to do streaming and would welcome views from you guys. Thanks
I would vote for 552DR
552 , no hesitation
552 without a doubt. The improvement from XPS to 555 on a CDS3 is decent, whereas the improvement from 252 to 552 is absolutely massive. I’ve made both improvements in a past life so speak from experience rather than conjecture.
Thanks that was my thought especially as the opportunity to buy a one owner well cared for 552 dont come up very often.
552 dr…its a big step up.
Many thanks to Andy from Signals in Suffolk for delivering and setting up the 552DR for me today. All I can say is WOW! When it warms up fully it is going to sound sublime! It sounds lovely now. I also listened to a 555DR on my CDS3 and I am probably in a small minority here that prefers the more subtle XPSDR.
Thanks to Gazza, HungryHalibut,Varyat and Beachcomer for your replies and helpful advice.
