Ouch 
, but they are very good on the pound per sound basis
Haā¦ thatās 600 Euroās worth of plugs to start with.

Very nice. I use Uniti Atom too and did a similar tuning with Vovox Powercord, Isoacoustics Gaia 3 and Tellurium Speaker Cable. I would be interested to hear about your experience. Enjoy.
Heavy stuff I can tell 
Cool! Yep, so far i have replaced speaker cables and AQ mains power cable - the difference become really audible. More tight bass, mids are now more upwards and more silky, can hear some details i couldnāt really hear before. Overall very happy with upgrade! Now time for installing Gaiaās 
and thatās where i would expect even more fun

If you add all the Entreq components, what would be the total cost ?
The challenger power cord costs alone 3k.
But you run a 272 as a dac and pre for your 300 dr. I wonder if you are not taking a wrong path Slamdam.
IMO you should improve first your pre and source, not putting the ice on the cake before buying a cake.
Hope you will not take badly my comments. But I see you have bought a lot of Entreq components, but in the same time your system is a bit unbalanced. Or at least not strong regardless to the pre and source.

Purchasing second handed just as everything Naim but sure, if one looks at the cost of everything as new it quickly sums up. Waiting for the 272 successor since I donāt want more Naim boxes and to be honest the 272 + 555PSDR, 300DR, Lumin U1 mini sounds wonderful with Entreq and Furutech NCF tech surrounding it. Very much enjoy the sound in my system today with all the tweaking which to be honest I wasnāt prepared for 
Also have one Furutech FT-SWS NCF on the way

You are lucky to find all these Entreq components second hand. I have one Entreq power cord, the entry level, but still more expensive than powerline. Makes a good job on my switch.

Here in Sweden they pop up now and then. I rarely find used Naim here at least higher level. Think Iāve seen a single 252 in last three years 
Didnāt know you used Entreq 
You should try anything from their Ethernet range. Did wonderful things in my system.

I forgot you were in Sweden. Itās clearer now.
For now I donāt think of improving my network more, as I invested in a Melco N1zh2, 3 Audioquest diamond, linear ps for the router, and Innuos PhoenixNet.
But maybe one day. Thereās also the Synergetic Research Ethernet cables, highly regarded too.

If I may put my two-penneth in - I always thought that spending so much on cables was rather silly/daft until I had my eyes opened a good few years back by my local dealer! Canāt remember exactly what my system was but it was the v3 of the half width Musical Fidelity stuff (X150 era) and he went with cheap then more expensive (about 50% of value of components) expensive (about same value) and finally about twice the price of the components! Now he didnāt tell me prices to begin with it was purely could I hear the difference and I have to say I could clearly hear all the way to the top - yes silly to be spending that much - and I didnāt but the difference was clearly there. He left some others behind to try and gave me a fortnight to try them. Eventually I made up my mind and spent about 50-60% the value of the components - yes still apparently silly money but when it came to upgrading the various parts of my system Iād already got a good set of cables which stood the test and didnāt get upgraded for quite some time after!

I made similar experience. With fairly few resources, the sound of the Uniti Atom can be significantly increased. I have also had good experiences with decoupling and Isolation Platform. If you want to have a look: Atom Upgrade

I sent you an invitation to connect in LinkedIn. This could be useful one day.
Thank you for sharing your passion.

Finally replaced the old UnitiServe T2 with a Core/4T hard drive. My long suffering dealer (Harry) is now busy transferring all my music from the old to the new with the help of his tech savvy son.

I think youāll really enjoy the Core once itās set up. Itās a doodle to use and the sound quality is excellent. Be sure to know how to do the backups, and do them!

Love my Core - nice piece of equipment from our Naim friends
As you say Mike the SQ is very good

The cd drive in the server was starting to scare me, sometimes itās took 5 or 6 attempts to rip CDs.
