Sorry to bug you again but now that things have settled what’s your take on the serenity mod?

It’s a very long time ago that I owned a pre-cirkus lp12 ittok k9 Valhalla but I always found mine sounded better after a service. Depending on when the lp12 was last serviced that might be akin to a cheap ‘up grade’ depending on what cost you can get that done for these days but I’m probably...

I agree with the other contributors. I’ve used db power amp to rip circa 1000 cd’s - let db power amp do a cd by cd rip then go playlist. The free mp3tag is quite useful as you can just right click on a file or files for minor tagging updates.

Decided to take the punt on the pre-loved supercap dr based on a couple of contributors reckoning it was the weak link in my system. Thought I’d compare it with the olive supercap. If I don’t like the dr I suspect I can move it on without taking a massive financial hit.Whether it’s an entirely...

Ok. Taken a punt. Pre-loved Naim Supercap DR on its way. Let me compare the olive supercap version to the dr version and will report back on which works best with the 52. Wasn’t the direction I set upon when I started this thread but surprised by the (relativity) positivity on this forum around...

My 52 is a late model pots8. Are you saying caution re: changing the supercap or changing more than that?

Interesting feedback folks - much appreciated. I think the theme I’m hearing is that unless I spend serious money on a DAC I’m probably wise to keep a pre-amp regardless of make chosen. Is that the concensus? More complex than I thought. Still mulling this over & haven’t ruled out a semi static...

I have already obtained servicing costs and still haven’t discounted that option. Yes not pennies but beer money compared to the price of new kit it seems. There’s some crazy prices out there from a number of vendors. Bit of a shock when you haven’t bought anything in a while. I was going to say...

I had no idea that you could make them active. Trouble is active does get expensive…. Out of curiousity are my mf7’s be three channel still with the downward facing isobaric driver?

Yeah that is the other option. Just get what I’ve got serviced and buy a load of music and 4k films instead :-)

Not come across them before - I’ll have read up. What do you use as a transport?

hmm - food for thought certainly. The box count consideration is irrelevant to me - I have a large dedicated listening room. I get what you are saying re: active systems - I’ve heard them sound sublime but unfortunately not usually with Naim speakers at the end of the amps. Over the years I’ve...

Apologies finger tapping user problem. I get what you are saying re: speaker choice as I can fully believe active speakers along the lines such as atc would be very effective ( not heard them myself) .My only thoughts are: 1. Might be wrong but not convinced my speakers are the limiting item...

Noted & will not do so without due consideration.
