Whoopsā¦ indeed. Impressive piece of kit. 310W power consumption is impressive too. 
Always love the look of Luxman.

Maybe now isnāt the time to mention that the Japanese market one comes in a rosewood case.
Iāve drooled over this amp before.

Great looking amp, manages to have all those things that Naims amps donāt and still sound good.

not exactly hifi but I picked up the new Airpod Pro 2ās today to replace my ageing Gen 1 Airpod pros. Mainly for the increased battery life ahead of an upcoming overseas trip but I have to say the sound quality of the new ones is a significant improvement on the outgoing model. Far more musical and muscular sound than the gen 1ās and more than adequate for on-the-go listening. I was pleasantly surprised.

Damn I didnāt need you to say that, I have a gen 1 set that Iām less than impressed with and wouldnāt have considered upgrading until your post.

If I were to draw up a short list of Naim products I would like to see
1 a 272 replacement
2 a CD transport
3 a super, super , duper Nait - going places that the SN 3 doesnāt .
I went to a Nova / Powerline from five boxes and am now very, very happy.

Iāve made exactly the same move away from NAIM in the last 12 months. Donāt be sad. Life goes on 
Itās the best thing Iāve ever done, from a musical point of viewā¦

I donāt think I would get them if music playback was my main purpose. I used my Gen 1 mostly for work, calls and meetings with background listening while working and flying and these are big improvements for that use case. I was happy to make the compromise for functionality over the sonyās and the Sennheiser Iāve had that sounded better and now I donāt think there is really a gap sound quality wise so the extra functionality in the apple ecosystem I work in doesnāt come at a sound quality cost. Theyāre no Audeze Planars though thatās for sure but horses for courses.
Since Iām no longer interested in business calls maybe I should look elsewhere, cheers.
I bought some of these last week, having previously used Bose QC35 for big stuff (long flights/train rides) and Bose soundsport for more āon the goā listening. Canāt believe the sound quality from the airpods - Iām a convert.

Terrible pic 
but this is an aftermarket brace for our Rage deck. Since we started with a P1 we didnāt have one.
Currently shopping for a new tonearm as that is the only original P1 part left.
I need to get me one of those Rage decks. Suits my mood these days.

Well you all know what a Muso Qb 2 looks like.
Cd 5x and flat cap will hopefully have a new home shortly.
All my cds are on a hard drive and those together with BBC Radio and Qobuz keep me happy.
So with the big reduction in Qb price it made a lot of sense.
Now installed in my boudoir and with the silk sheets,animal
furs and gin optic this has become a very welcoming room.

Gin on tap in the Boudoir, very decadent 
i put an rb220 on mine and its much nicer with an optiwhite platter from a p2 - i call it a rp1.5 nowā¦
Been looking and we can get a rewired RB30x for not a lot of money so that will likely be our first stab.
