Supercap and 555ps

Posted by: wenger2015 on 26 August 2018

Just in the process of demoing a Supercap dr to possibly replace the Hicap dr and a 555ps to replace the Xpsdr.

The 555ps is non dr, which might well suit my cdx2 better than the dr version?

Its going to be an interesting few days....

I must pop round for a listen later Wenger. Made a few changes myself this morning and I must say in my room with my setup the CDX2/555 sounds stunning. Pouring down with rain so an Ideal day for listening!

Well that’s good news.....I think the CDX2/555 could well be a very special partnership...

Finkfan....my deepest condolences to your 272, May it Rest in Peace.......

Spent some time this evening evaluating the merits of the Supercap dr and 555ps.

They are both exceptionally good boxes, extremely surprised with the Supercap.

The 555ps is warming up nicely too...

Supercap for the 282? Interesting how you get on.

555 PS (especially non-DR) worked very well for my CDX2.2. Now it’s powering my NDX

Thanks for the tea and tunes this evening Wenger. I must say your system is sounding better than ever.

Blimey ‘tea and tunes’ that sounds as if we are a couple of cotton tops....

Yes the boxes seem to be warming up nicely.....I am very pleased with the results so far...

Yes the 555ps is not such a surprise on the cdx2 as I’ve heard Finkfans system....it seems to be a perfect partnership.

Mine is only 30 hours in situ, so hopefully once settled in it might well improve more..

The Supercap dr on the 282 is a revelation....I hooked it up first and had a wow moment....exceptional
