You have to consider that their Klimax DS3 was £16k and their Next-generation Klimax DSM is £35k.I like how they're spinning a £1350 PSU as "one of the best value upgrades available"

Makes you wonder what's wrong with the current PSUs, if they 'need' an upgrade. It's becoming a popular choice for companies running out of ideas for ripping people off. The Cyrus PSU-XR is a standalone PSU, but come on people, £2395 to make the leccy a bit cleaner?For that money I wouldn't expect to need to shell out another £1350 on "upgrades".

Inflation isn’t that high! It’s not yet gone up another £1000. It’s still £1395!Makes you wonder what's wrong with the current PSUs, if they 'need' an upgrade.

I think some context is helpful here. Firstly, as with any upgrade, nobody has to buy it. Excellent streamers yesterday are still as good today, whether or not an upgrade is available!I like how they're spinning a £1350 PSU as "one of the best value upgrades available"

You beat me to it....🙂
He was talking about the (stupidly priced) new XR PSU from Cyrus.
Ah, sorry, I read it too quickly! I agree that’s extortionate!🙂

That’s not too bad. Naim power supplies start at £5700.The Cyrus PSU-XR is a standalone PSU, but come on people, £2395 to make the leccy a bit cleaner?
I don't doubt for a moment there are dyed in the wool Naim fanatics, as there are with Linn. They believe these prices are nothing to get worked up about and they gladly pay them, even £5700 for a power supply. It's nonsense.That’s not too bad. Naim power supplies start at £5700.

Only if you are mug enough to purchase said item....That’s not too bad. Naim power supplies start at £5700.

You're obviously single....Must admit that I’m very happy with my four Naim power supplies.
Also got my Linn streamer booked in for the Utopik power supply upgrade.

Which Linn do you have? I’d like to hear the benefit with my Akurate DSM I must admit.Must admit that I’m very happy with my four Naim power supplies.

Although you’d get the Utopik free if you bought Organik upgrade, while the launch promotion is on. I appreciate it’s a big investment.A Linn Klimax DS3 / Katalyst.
Plays into an active Naim system.
Was originally going to do the Organik DAC upgrade, but will do this first, then the DAC later.

Good call. I’ll have to investigate further.Although you’d get the Utopik free if you bought Organik upgrade, while the launch promotion is on. I appreciate it’s a big investment.
