If you can afford it get a Hugo TT2 and use your Node streamer to provide a digital output, do it. Mine sounds superb into my NAC 552. I have a RP10 as well and the TT2 gives it a serious run for its money with the Node Streamer. Different but definitely comparable

I will never sell mine. A sublime piece of kit. It's the boss in my system. It dictates everything. Absolute control and sensitivity beyond any other expensive pre I have owned before. GLWTS

It's a lovely ole job Tony. I'm from Suffolk too (Southwold) - although I live in Sydney these days. I have been sifting through the system pics thread and spotted your DBLs. I had a pair too before my Kodos Titans. Your's look fabulous :)

Don't do it. You will seriously regret it. I have owned both simultaneously and the 52 is such a vastly superior preamp. You'll lose a lot of what you hear if you let it go.

I have an RP10. Amazing piece of kit but doesn't sound "turntable enough" for me being an ex LP12 owner so I'm probably going to sell it! Excellent decks though :)

An utterly superb TT. I have exactly the same one as my main vinyl source. A bargain at that price. Mine replaced a fairly high spec LP12 and the difference was night and day. GLWTS.

Very nice indeed

Well, I have been a Naim devotee for the last 20 years. I have have had... - CD3.5 then CDX then CDS2 then CDS3 and still a CDi (can't sell it as it's so engaging) - 92/90 then 72/140 then 82/250 then 52/3 x 250 then 552 and 300DR. I will take the plunge one day and buy the 500DR. -...

Sorry - just noticed it's a 4 pin din. I'm after a 5 pin

Is this still available?

I’m possibly of the same opinion at my price point. The Clearway is probably a strong contender

I know this is a subjective topic but I’m looking at sensibly priced cables up to about 300 GDP. Ideally I want rca to din. Hugo TT2 to Naim NAC 552. I’m not a believer in stupidly expensive cables. Suggestions, experiences and offers welcome

KS1 with my 552 and 300 feeding the T88s. Very good indeed. Not heard Super Lumina. Don't want to as it might prompt big expenditure...

Thank you for your thoughts. I am certainly interested in the M Scaler and I expect it is the natural path now that I have TT2. Now that I have sorted out the digital source weakness the TT2 really sings. It is a truly superb DAC. I would certainly not ever consider parting with the 552. It is...

Very many thanks for all the very helpful and constructive replies. Today I bought the Bluesound Node N130 as an experiment. It took literally 5 mins to set up and connect via BNC to the TT2. The app control interface is absolutely superb and I am controlling the streamer running Tidal HIFI...
