What was the last bit of gear you bought in 2023?

Absolutely. They aren’t brand new so they are already run-in so that helps, and now they’re warmed back up they are singing nicely.

I’ve just had a splurge on pre-loved or ex-demo NDX 2 and an olive NAT01 / NAPST into NAC 252 / SuperCap DR to replace my NAC-N 272.

All my Naim boxes are now connected to the mains with 6 Power-Lines and a Wireworld Matrix 2 mains block.

Finally, I had the spikes of my Neat Feet cut off to just leave the thread. IsoAcoustics Gaia IIIs have replaced the spikes.

When can you be here?

I said I wasn’t going to get this, but meh, what the hell. I have a pair of REL S/510 subs. A pair of REL Bassline Blue cables for them would have cost $900 for a 3m pair. However, I connect my subs at the speaker terminals and don’t need 3m or more, and I don’t need the Naim versions since the inline network that it adds is only needed when connecting directly to a Naim amp. So I bought one non-Naim 3m cable. My dealer cut it in half and re-terminated the cut ends, so now I have a 1.5m pair.

I finally after three months got my new ProAc D48R in rosewood. The color is rather light but I’m told they’ll Darken. Packing was amazing, palletized all wrapped up with Hardboard to protect the boxes! I’ll get them setup tomorrow and start listening.

If I got those I would hope they didn’t darken. They look beautiful!

OTOH: I’m a piano black person. They go with everything and never change color. :slight_smile:

Will you change your avatar then ? :grin:

Yes difficult to put into words but just nicer to listen too and the music is wonderfully presented.
