Your amp history...

I haven't heard the DIVORCE:mad:

Was it any good?

I like the Audio Analogue stuff a lot, sure you'll have many years of enjoyment from that set-up.

It had great synergy with the other gear I used at the time called Marriage...:D

Audio Analogue makes some really good gear indeed. I have certainly become an ardent fan - all my current gear is from them and any future upgrades will be through their line up.

Part 1 (The beginning) ...

Naim 102/180 (Right in your face system but I got it at a super bargain 15 years ago!!!)
Naim 102/Hicap/180
Naim 282/Hicap/180
Naim 282/Hicap x 2/180
Naim 282/Hicap x 2/250
Naim 282/Supercap/250 (Nice upgrade. Supercap refine the sound and bring in more authority)
Naim 52/Supercap/250 (Huge difference! 82 to 52 is a huge upgrade!)
Naim 52/Supercap/135 (Nice upgrade)

I got my first amp (102/180) 15 years ago. And the seller asked, "Do you have a speaker?" I shake my head and he asked, "Then can I give my Naim Credo to you?"

Part 2 (Reborn) ...

Naim 122x/150x (Nice system which I can happily live with. I still have it in their boxes)
Naim 282/150x (Nice upgrade)
Naim 282/Teddy DTC/150x (DTC really refine the sound)
Naim 282/Teddy DTC/Teddy MB100 (Very nice upgrade!)

I am extremely happy with the current system now :)
 
A&R A60
Rega Mira
Naim 140
Naim 180
Naim 250
Naim 250.2
Naim 300
Naim 250.2
Naim 300
Naim 250.2

Not a typo. I struggled with the 300's. I actually bought and sold two units over a period of several years but held onto the 250.2. The 300 was better in some respects but I kept going back to the 250.2 and have now made my overall choice. That's it now.
