Well Breeze, a lot has changed since I posted back 3.5 yrs ago (cannot believe it has been that long ago). I no longer have cds2, 01 tuner, 52, 135s. Now streaming only. NDX2/555dr power supply 552dr and 500dr Only the Titan T88s remain. They work so well and the current system sounds a great...

Looks fine to me

I replaced my cds2 with first ndx2/xpsdr Pretty close sound wise but the ability to stream all different types of music with streaming made me forget the cds2 very quickly. I use Qobuz which is great. Also Naim radio gives u hundreds of different stations, some in very hi res. When I replaced...

i also have the T88s driven by 52/135s I have a large room and they work great. The 808s look great and would guess they would sound better, but at quote a price Maybe one day.... David

Naim speaker cables for my Titan T88s - standard cables, not superlumina Have not tried any other cables David

I had Sara 9s in the early 1990s Small room - LP 12 /meridian 200 cd/32-5/hicap/250 Great for pop/rock with solid punchy bass. Had them on Linn Sara stands up against a wall. Fun system and loved the Sara’s David

how much would I expect to pay for this item Serviced with new transport about 8 yrs ago in good cosmetic condition for its age. I’m in the US David

Besides ripping CDs what else is the Core able to do? David

I own 135s and 52- are u 100% certain the din-xlr s are connected properly. Red right and green left ( left and right looking at rear of amp). Are both channels still out ? If only one, could you have a bad din xlr cable. David

Complete rebuild New olive case- basically getting almost new tuner Logo lights up This was approx 20 yrs ago Ordered via NANA who sent it back to Naim in England. My go to guy at NANA was Dave Dever- great guy

My 01 was CB which I had completely converted to Olive many years ago Best $1600 I ever spent. LED display like new Was fading on the CB My most used source David

Guess I like looking at my Kudos T88’s - Tineo wood looks nice ;)

Often reading but even just focused listening eyes open David

I enjoy music more with eyes open. Not sure why. Maybe I’m wired differently. David

I just replaced an olive xps with a xps dr for my cds2. Rest of all Olive is : cds2/01/52/supercap/135s. A very significant upgrade. Better than I expected. Maybe my olive xps was in need of a service. It last had full service 8 yrs ago Very pleased. Speakers : kudos Titan T88s David
