Thanks for all the comments. I was looking into the Plinius integrated amps. I did enquire about a Hiato that was for sale, which was ex demo from a dealer. (Not heard back ,but the unit was out on demo) To me the output seems a lot ,but a recommended manufacturer. When I bought the speakers...

After selling all my olive Naim kit I am now looking for an integrated amp for the obs I was using a NAP 250 previously Any views on small wattage class A amps from the likes of Sugden ?

Amp was serviced about 5 years ago Dynavector keeps coming up as being very good but a bit hard to find one Maybe the 180 is worth considering as another option I was considering a 250-2 as another option as the dynamic power at 2 ohm is a lot higher than the original 250

Hope it’s a good match I been using a cb250 for about a year with mixed results with ob1’s Definitely a lack of mid range and high frequency output on a lot of recordings ,not balanced at times Trying to decide a way forward with other amps integrated into a naim system after reading other...

I’ve been using mk1 obs for about a year now with a Naim set up. I am using a CB 250 to drive them I was a bit disappointed at first,just seemed to be no sparkle compared to the sbls I had previously. Although it was a fuller sound and better imaging ,something was missing. however after a few...

I had the amp/psu a few weeks ago. Main reason was to try the psu on a cd5,replacing a hicap. This is a good combination , giving a big improvement to the sound. The sound was more forward , giving a bigger sound stage. Vocals were clearer and better defined ,easier to follow. The bass is...

i have now have the supercap on th the cd5,what can I say, the result is outstanding. This has transformed everything as Ron has said. I decided to add a hicap to the second socket of the 82 (May take this out at a later date) I now have an unbalanced set up which sounds very good to what it...

Thanks for all the the replies all very interesting. I lived with the hicap for quite sometime and only changed to the snaps recently. I do miss some of what hicap gave ,hence the question. What is the result on the sound in doing the mod ? Does the power supply add anything after the mod ...

Trying to decide a routre to go down. At present a Snaps/TPR powers my CD5,have used a Hicap as well. Have found the Snaps gives more detail and rhythm,Hicap gives a more forward sound but a bit overblown. Any views on a TPR4/Ryan Sound Lab in a Hicap/Snaps to a cd5? My other though...

Thanks for the reply. I suppose it's one of these things you have to try. Just in case you are missing out on something

Having just acquired a 82 with S boards (523/1) Is it worthwhile trying to get the K version as recommended. Would I get any real improvement ? Present cartridge is a Karma

On vinyl for example acoustic guitars had more of a natural rhythm With playing having a greater presence in you room. This was very evident on Springsteen’s Nebraska, an album which I have listened to for many years Cd has more of an analogue sound, which I now enjoy on my set up. Rich...

Some thoughts My set up is as follows LP12/Ittok/Karma CD5/TPR Snaps Hicap/CB 250/72 SBL I mainly listen to vinyl with CD taking a back seat normally. My first thought was to install the Z401 high-level gain cards. The main reason being to see if they would improve from what I would...

Hi All The boards arrived today. I will give an update later on this week.
