I started rebuilding my hifi system when I returned to the uk in 2020….
I had a Cyrus 1 back in 1986 and I really wanted to buy back into the British brands…
I demoed Cyrus (I9 XR series), Naim, Arcam, etc…..
I just couldn’t get my head around the Cyrus and Naim pricing….
All I could guess was that it was double the price of the Cambridge, NAD, etc as a result of it being British…..
Then Cyrus release the 40 series, and once again, I can’t see the “value”…..
The pricing seems astronomical for the performance ( is the 40 series any “better” than the I9 ?

Then there’s the issue of the separate PSU….. £2495 a pop and they reckon it adds more to the part if paired with each device ?

£4000 amp, £3000 streamer (seriously???), 2x PSU £5000. Total cost £12,000……….

I’d love to know the thoughts of others, especially those that have bought the suite of components!

My Dad bought me a Cyrus One along with a Linn Axis and some Mission bookshelf speakers back in '85. The Axis is still running fine but the Cyrus has long-since stopped working. If he were still with us I'm sure the price of modern Cyrus would have finished him off.
