Good Morning All,
I was a little surprised to read LesW's announcement on Facebook from the 27th re the SE200 series devices as a very recent communication had suggested these were on the back burner.
I have been requested to remain silent about the boards I've been working with recently, although just before his recent hospital treatment LesW had indicated I could divulge things in a considered way as he didn't want a deluge of enquiries at that time.
What can I say about the prototypes to the SE200? Let's just say I'm no longer looking to further anymore NCC200, NCC220 or NCC300 builds.
The NCC boards are definitely a step up from the Naim RCA pattern equipment but the SE boards are in a truly different ball park.
It is these boards causing me to get the NAXO serviced and an old Hicap TPR'd to allow me to actively drive the Sara9's with 4off SE boards. As I have said I'm only driving the amplifiers out of a MacBook headphone socket - God alone knows what they'd sound like out of the Klimax System Hub (if only it had an analogue output).
If I can get the 3rd pair up and running (stupidly installed 47k rather then 47R SMD's in the LTP emitter tails) I could drive my conventional Isobariks via the ExactBox.
Regards
Richard
