Martin, 

 

Take a look at this link: https://forums.naimaudio.com/to...ng-or-better-to-sell

 

I had a 62, albeit with a 120, and sounded kind of too mellow to me. Mind you it had not been serviced.  I'm sure yours should sound a little more punchy and musical after Darran at Class A did a full service.

Good luck.

A Nac 62 is a great choice, I had one in my olive setup with great result

 

Just slightly prefer the Nac 72 to 62 with 250/HC but its not a world apart

 

Benefit you can insert phonocards and run a turntable direct-in as all did decades ago, still a fine solution I'd choose vs modern streaming

 

Cymbiosis or Class-A

both know what they are doing re. service so no worries

For that money it's going to be hard to beat and coming from Cymbiosis you know it will be a good one.

 

The 62 is a great pre, very fast and high on the boogie factor.

For £150 you can't go wrong. That said, the 72 is better, and with a 250 that's what I'd be after.

I would tend to agree with HH. What source are you using Martin?

I had 62/hicap/250 (all chrome bumper) for a few years and was very happy.They worked well together.

 

Then I lost the plot and went 52/SC/135s... better sound but not proportionately more enjoyment.
