If you had my system, how would you spend £2,000?

Posted by: Dave J on 06 November 2003

My brother-in-law made some colourful suggestions, however, as I'm married to his sister and have every intention of remaining so, I'll ignore his advice and seek that of the good folk on the forum.

I haven't made any changes since about this time last year when I invested in Fraim, Napsc2, new Headline and HD600's so the system is currently:

LP12/Ekos/Arkiv, Ikemi, 82 on one stack of Fraim

Lingo/Headline/Hicap/Napsc2/250 on the other. Both stacks are on Chips and the old Napsc powering the Headline is on the floor.

Briks (external crossovers) on Linn stands (on Linn Skeets).

The 250 and Hicap have recently been serviced and I've got a separate Mains supply consisting of two 6mm2 spurs.

Current thoughts are along the lines of either max'ing the front end with an Akiva and Linto or flogging the 82 and going for a 52/Supercap orpossibly trading the 250 for recent 135's or a new 250.

What would you do?

The Densen amps like Densen at source.


Densen made amps before they made CD players.

Guess whose CD players they designed their amps around?

I tried the B400 before I tried any Naim player and I was not impressed. However, the B400XS would be pleasing if it has the definition that the B400 lacked.

I've yet to hear a B400XS.

Steve.

Alex and Energy,

I'm interested in why you ditched Linto's in favour of Dynavectors, particularly the P75. Please can you summarise the benefits.
