Before and after…. Pre-loved 282 installed, and a rearranging of the boxes. Thanks to Mike at Infidelity for the advice. Sounds great right out of the box! Apart from a minor stress before I realised the previous owner had it set to phono in, so the din for the NDX2 didn’t work…. But after ten minutes of mild perspiration, I remembered that trick. Phew…. Now to enjoy!

I had the same panic with my new to me NDX. 10 minutes of swapping leads around until I remembered I had read in the manual about being able to disable outputs.

Must be quite an old one if it’s in a blue box, or it’s a repurposed box. M CDX2 came in a box like that and it’s from 2003.
Congratulations, I know the 282 was a fabulous upgrade over the pre-amp section of my SN 2 when I upgraded!
Look forward to hearing what you thing about the improvements from the 202 to the 282…
It was a long wait, but finally my new 552 Pre arrived. It replaces a 252/SupercapDr, who both get a new owner soon.
The 552 is running in now so will start judging in a few days, but first impression is very promising.

Looks good, hoping to be joining you next week. I am told that French customs have finally cleared the paperwork.

Congratulations!
I replaced my 252 three years ago by a 552. It is way better IMHO. I like it to the bits.

I recall during a naim factory visit during which the just about to be launched new streamers were demonstrated (and discussed in great detail!) we eventually sat through a demonstration during which there was a remarkable difference in sound quality when switching between ndx2 and nd555. Everything is relative and, in isolation I’ve no doubt the ndx2 would be extremely satisfactory as a music source.

I was there….but they went up from standard cables to superlumina, much lower system to a 552/500 system……it was better…….it took me some while to unravel for my ears what the nd555 brought to the party. Possibly a deliberate ploy by Naim on the day.
