I know, right? Long story short: had a plan to buy the Naim NDX5 and Supernait 2 combo, purely on reputation. Got zero patience, so didn’t want to wait around and got a refurb Edge streamer / W power amp combo instead. Again, without a listen. The endgame is to use my Dalis until my plastic...

Ironically, what draws me to the Concept 500s is their silver/ebony offering cause it looks like a deliberate choice next to the Cambridge Edge duo. That said, they're big buggers and my REL T9x means the bass dept. wants for nowt. TBF, if it wasn't for that bit of sparkle missing in my set-up...

I had decided to upgrade my beloved Roksan Kandy III and Bluesound Node to a Naim NDX5 and Supernait 2 (cause I don’t have a turntable) but things got silly with the backlog, and a refurbished Cambridge Audio Edge NQ and W series power amp came along. I threw a load of plastic at that and now...

Thanks for your thoughts. Couple of things, and would love your input on them: The logic for the Supernait 2 and not the 3 is because I don’t need a turntable so a 2nd hand 2 brings a 3 grand Naim into the 2 grand arena; or am I missing a point here? Scared me a bit with the Naim and Roksan...

Current set-up is a Node 2i into a Roksan Kandy MkIII into Dali Oberon 5s. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love listening to Apple Music streams on this gear, but I’d love to get even more out of it. I’m thinking of beginning my upgrade journey with a Naim XD5 streamer as a first step; followed...

Whose side are you on? 🥴

Thanks millenia_one. Yeah, I kinda figured my amp’s the jewel in the crown and that I’d be looking north of a grand to say the least (and yet, somehow there’s no end of them knocking around eBay for £300?) So, it’s the sub, like I thought. Well, excuse my ignorance but would buying the Dali sub...

No, it’s got enough grunt at 110 watts. The room’s about 18’ x 12’ but, because it’s detached, I’ll be able to go large and throw in some tight, extended bass. My dilemma is, I love the set-up but, how can I put this? It’s like when you have a cute kid or a kitten or puppy and you want to...

I am streaming from a Blue sound Node 2i into my 2002 Roksan Kandy mkIII, feeding Dali Oberon 5s. I’m hoping to move into a detached house soon and will be able to unleash a bit more volume. Is the £600 I’m considering spending on the Dali E12 sub going to have as much an impact on the scale of...
