What was the last bit of gear you bought in 2025?

As I always say, when discussing HiFi systems….Different strokes, for different folks…:blush:

Well the new Naim cable is in and the systems been re-warmed up for a while now

It’s sounding lovely… but then I love Naim DIN cables

The question is do I buy another Naim rca/DIN cable for the cd player? :thinking:

Maybe at the moment I won’t rush into it because we mainly, 85%+, use the streamer which now has the new Naim cable installed

Chord Cobra or Chrysalis are good options on the secondhand market.

No. Leave it. No point.

Put your phone down until tomorrow morning and just enjoy your system.

You’re the first person I’ve encountered that uses the Reiki superswitch. What sort of uptick did it bring for you?

there are a few of us on here… i found it more natural than the already good ee8 with more shape to notes and just a bit calmer.. i posted this when i got it Reiki super switch - my mini review - Streaming Audio - Naim Audio - Community

Pioneer GR-777 equaliser. I’ll probably be chucked off the forum for admitting to owning one of these, but it’s letting me enjoy some of my digitised tapes from the 80s as never before.

Remote control of equalisation from the listening position is a real winner :trophy:

I just ordered the Studiotechnik Dusch / EMT Profi Step Up Tranformer for my turntable. Very curious how it will perform.

This is exciting. Thanks for sharing this update and looking forward to hearing about your findings. Do you have a good cable to connect the SUT and phono pre?

No :see_no_evil_monkey:. Probably the one from turntable to the SUT can be very short? I have some nice Neotech UP-OCC silver wires and nice rca plugs. Thinking to solder a very short, 10 cm, rca cable. I can place the SUT right next to the turntable. So, insulation should not be needed.

Dali Katch G2 - sounds pretty amazing for a small device. Will come on the road with me.

It arrived and sounds very good :grinning_face: between Vertere Mystic MC and Vertere phonostage.i could reduce the phonostage amplification from 57 DB to 40 DB, like with an MM cartridge. Much quieter background now.
Will keep it

It is still needs proper positioning.

Wonderful - glad you like it!

The last item my wife allowed me to buy was the Linn Adikt cartridge :joy: :rofl:
