Hi all,
After some time I go back to writing here for advice.
I have Kudos X2 and would like to change amplification, I would like something English to match the little Kudos and I'm evaluating Naim or Rega. Specifically I'm oriented on Naim XS2 (used) or Rega Elex mk4 (new), the budget doesn't allow me to go any further.
I know that both are fine and are usually recommended, having no chance to try them at home and with my speakers I was interested in a comparison and some advice on the differences in sound between the two amplifiers.
I listen mainly to jazz and classic rock, for other genres I usually use headphones, no classical in my library, I am especially interested in bass control and a generally wide and enjoyable sound, and important is performance at low volume.
I currently use the Nuprime Dac9 and STA9 pair, I like everything, I have power (even too much) and quality, maybe a sound in general a little too warm for my current tastes that have changed since buying the Nuprime, that's why I would like to change.
I’va a Metrum Amethyst dac to use with the new amplifier, or the integrated dac in the Elex if I’ll go for Rega.
Thanks in advance for the answers and advice!
