Ok. Looked at it again on the Laptop and I can now see the cable 🙂
I also only just noticed baby Torroid between Mummy and Papa.
Nice.

That is a brilliant suggestion. Each of those power amps in bridge mode does 210W in 8R. Yikes.
And they are much more versatile for future system changes. I'd take those over the Tucana in a blink.
I'd go Tucana. Integrated and all the amp anyone would ever need.
Mind, a Hifi Shop Manager, Musician and Acquaintance said the same about NAD's baby 315BEE and he was probably right.
Keep it simple.

In that spirit might as well stick with the Pulse. Why go deeper into the rabbit hole?

Looking at the amount of money he has to spend to get a Tucana MKii, totally agree. Stick with the Pulse.
Someone else I know has had his Olive Naims for ever. He's happy and no intention to change anything. Successful guy, good job, drives a vintage Porsche and single (that probably make the biggest difference 🙂. He probably could get a real High-End system in monetary terms.
He also, to my knowledge, doesn't hang out on hifi forums. Another contributing factor for a happy life.
Some years ago when I had a real financial melt down I bought myself the first of the now popular Denon Micro series. They came with little Mission made speakers and I enjoyed the system very much.
Probably as much as anything i had since. Its all relative.
The higher you go, the further you fall ... potentially.
I would certainly not define musical happiness as a high end system.
Anyway, the OP has an itch to scratch and scratch he will.

Tapping a tune with my fingers is a cost effective way of enjoying " a rhythmic sound"
As has been mentioned - it's all relevant I suppose.
At Scalford I heard a system (with BBC licensed monitors and Vitus amplification) in excess of 15K - probably my favourite listen ( the one I would have taken home) and it would fit in my living room nicely. - But 15k+ ?? - I couldn't do it
Another wigwammer has a pair of Behringer amps, active crossovers, Kef speakers (drive units?) kefB100 (I thin) Oppo sonica dac - cost effective hifi nirvana!

My naim nait xs is probably all the amp I'll ever need....will that stop me going further up the chain whenever I get a few bob to spend.....no.....just because that's the way I am and I actually like spending cash on my hi-fi.lol.
Personally I don't think changing individual components halfway down the line really works. It just seems to bring complications and mismatches. I think a better strategy is to buy a complete system in one go and stick with it for at least five years and then if you are itchy to try something new to start again. I mean it might be a lot a longer than five years before you feel the need to change anyway. Swapping components along the way, either sideways or upgrades, just leads to perpetual dissatisfaction and over analysis. If you can't afford to purchase all in one go i.e. Speakers, amp and source, I think it is ultimately better to borrow the money, hopefully interest free, as this will almost certainly lead to less spent overall. Also, you hear all the components together and therefore they ought to be in similar price bracket and thus better suited to working together. The above mentioned opinion, I have only come to after many unnecessary mistakes made down the years.

Thanks Mac. I'll certainly look further into this option.
From what I've read and heard of the Elements integrated it's not an upgrade on the PUlse but... that's just conjecture as I've not physically heard one in the flesh..

I know it's a tad risky but I'm thinking of putting my Pulse up for sale. The reason is I've just received details in the post from Unilet. Every year they have a 'Blue Murder' sale. They have a s/hand Tucana MKII for £1749. The sale starts on the 6th May. I don't think I'll dislike the Pulse's bigger brother, therefore...

FWIW. I think you will find that a "Pulse on Steroids" will be a revelation....and that the talents of said amp will continue to unfold over a perod of time, as you put on tracks that you "think" you know.
