N272 with 250 DR

Posted by: Calum F on 01 August 2016

I've been scared off changing from 200/202 to 250 DR/202 as nobody on here thinks it's a good idea. I weally, weally want a 250 DR but don't want a 282 so, how does 272/250 DR stack up ? Pre and power almost same price has a certain appeal and I can get decent trade-in on 200/202. I also have CD5XS/DAC/HCDR/NAPSC, thanks

"" If you can rig up the 202 / 250 DR against 202 / 200 would be v. interested in your impressions, you indicate "I think I can suspect the outcome even before I listen to the system" - Which is, what ? Don't bother with the 282 on my account, it's the 202 / 250 DR or keep 200 for me. Folks on here extol the 282 a lot but lets not forget this is a FOUR GRAND pre-amp at TWICE the price of the 202 so I'm wondering for a future thread "Best VFM - 202 or 282 ?" or would that be mischievous ?"" 

No!

Clear cut decession, in your case.

Might not be the right order, but what the heck!

List the 202 on the 2nd hand market

List the 2009 200 on the 2nd market

 Pick up the 250 DR, 2nd hand if lucky!

Once you get a bite, on either, 202/200, best to market as a duel package, 2nd hand 282.

Done:

282/HCDR/250DR 

I demoed CD 5XS, nice deck, very smooth.

But, the FORUM persuaded me to Cdx2/282 territory, not bad! 

I would imagine that CD 5XS/Ndac is superior over my bare Cdx2 Mk I

My next upgrade is 555PS, once I glue my piggy bank back together again! LOL...
