Abbey Road obv

I was brought up on tone controls and I like having them on my modern kit. If I buy an amp without them I put a Schiit Loki into the chain.

I tried the playfi app with an Arcam streamer a few years ago and couldn't believe how bad it was, clunky not intuitive at all and kept freezing. The Arcam sounded great but I sold it on after about a month because of the god awful app. Best avoided, Bluesound and Sonos have the most stable apps

Id stick with your Naim and use a streamer. Honestly the node 2i in my experience is very very good for the money even without adding an external dac. The app is very good as well. Many many audiophiles with nice kit use them...

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy from the OST of the same name

Pentangle: Waltz

Agree on the Arcam A39, I've seen them go for around £500 on fleabay but they don't appear that often..

Some stands for my Harbeths.

Monitor Audio, Kef and Dali all go very well with the Nad C320BEE in my experience. Also the Marantz PM6000 series amps are not an upgrade for your Nad which in my opinion is the best cheap integrated money can buy

A Pure iPod dock which won rave reviews at the time and did sound prettg good however, the remote control for it used to inexplicably switch my tv on and off.... ridiculous Most expensive was my Roksan Oxygene amp/cd combo which retailed at around £7k and the amp buzzed and sounded flat and...

Ground-breaking for a music obsessive like me was discovering Spotify, it was jaw dropping to be able to access just about everything I'd ever want to listen to...... I've since moved to Tidal because Spotify sucks sound wise but whew what a game changer...

For good reason.

I must say my HL5's even do disco!!!

Some Harbeth P3 ESR's for my number 2 set up but only if I can find a pair for a decent price.

My Vincent SV 236. Why? It's like beauty and the beast sound-wise, huge depth and punch but also has finesse at all volumes. Also, it enhances every source I put through it and can drive any speaker I've used so far. It's an end game amp for me.
