My 272 is dead

Did it blow up or did you trade it in

No ...not blown up ...traded in at my friendly dealer

With the headline to your post that's a relief thought your 272 suffered the same fate as GraemeH.

Looks like a great upgrade what power amp are you using.

I'm still using my 250DR into Russell K speakers

The only sad bit is it's all been financed by the sale of my amazing LP12 / Aro

Congratulations on your new black boxes.... it’s a great time to just sit back and enjoy the improvement

Thanks...it's been playing for a few hours now and getting better..

Huge step up. Congratulations. Enjoy!!

it never stops

It doesn’t have to never stop. The key is to know when enough is enough. There will always be something better, but one doesn’t have to have it. Being ‘jealous’ is something that must be dealt with - people have better cars, bigger houses, more swanky holidays, more expensive clothes but so what? Hifi is no different. It’s all about being happy with what you have. Even the most basic Naim is better than what 99% of the population listens to. 

I've stopped don't think my ears would hear an improvement over my 272/555DR/250DR plus my wallet has taken a hit this year.

Just don’t try Superlumina cables,because they DO make music much more “real” sounding in my setup...not cheap,but I am glad I have them.The 555DR might be next on my list,so I am glad to hear you are enjoying the upgrade.

Superlumina cable is way too expensive but several weeks ago I ordered the Witch Hat Phantom speaker cable.

There has been a delay but when it arrives should be an interesting experiment trying this against the NACA5.

I would be interested in the witch hat comparison to A5 as well ...as I'm still using A5 and might consider a change

I got a update from Witch Hat the other day, about the Phantom speaker cable. New reel should have arrived yesterday and my 8m lengths, should be with me at the end of next week.

Excellent thanks for the update MWNN

No problemo  Looking forward like yourself to the comparison of cables.

All the reviews on the Phantom cable are very positive and it looks as though Witch Hat are about to start shipping back orders so not long

And it's flexible
