Julian,

How are you finding the 82? Is it a big step forward from the Nait?

I suppose I had better update my list as well

 

neil,
i'm going to put a review up in about a weeks time as the one i got was ex-demo and hadn't been used since the 282 and it's ilk arrived. so far, bass is more controlled - room boom has dissapeared, detail is not quite in the moon league but up there compared to the nait but the soundstage is intermittent depending on recording. it's presentation is less sumptuous than the naits a bit more 'warts and all' but it's difficult to stop listening to it or do anything else when it's on, which says something. you'll have to come round soon and see what you think.
cheers

Congrats on the 82 Julian, I've one too and it's just great.

Did you trade up from a Nait to an 82? If you did that's quite a BIG step forward! Don't suppose you using a hicap with it? They just get better and better if you give them better power.

Personally I'd skip a second hicap and go straight to a supercap (if you're that keen) - but that's another story! Otherwise enjoy

Well, so much for "mostly settled"....

The RCD-991 has just gone in favour of a marantz CD16, and this is being used as a transport into an M-audio SuperDAC, with a few mods.

This leads to the slightly odd situation, with (at new rrps) around £3k of digital front end and speakers forming a system around a £270 amp...

It doesn't work amazingly well, and the amp is clearly the weak link in the chain. It doesn't lack for power, but with some amps borrowed from work, things are rather better...

Other mods to the digital front end are forthcoming, and I'll get a DVD player too....

To quickly recap:
Marantz CD16 => M-Audio Superdac 2496 => Omiga Spitfire => Rotel RA-971mkII => Tara RSC Prime => Meadowlark Kestrel Hotrod.

Digital cable not yet finalised, SuperDAC will also connect to optical out on Terratec Aureon (when it arrives!).

 

I hear with

Vincent cd 2
Pre AeronAP110 valve
Final AeronA30 30w Class A,200AB.
Usher CP 738.

All for 5000 euro tax included!
I like to get the high level at low price:this is my passion.
