Who Has Stopped?

I think I'm content for now

The next upgrade will be 552 + 300 - if I can ever afford it

Adam, content? Never!

I'm certainly very close. Probably more nuanced changes than significant black box. 

I'm there. Kef Reference 1's, Chord Epic Reference speaker cables and a Power Line on the Supercap DR (actually - must update my profile) are latest and last changes. Still running the Kefs in - but talk about the cherry on top of the icing.  They are pretty special - as you might hope at £5,500 including dedicated stands. Quite lucky really - SHMBO thinks I've been very sensible as they are smaller than the outgoing PMC GB1i's. Slipped them is part of my house extension - need something a bit more high tech looking - that sort of thing.

DR and Recap the 552 and I will be done.   It all sounds so good now there is no rush.

'Now' is a noun denoting a very short period of time 

I'll probably never be 100% convinced that there will be no more "upgrades", but I am quite content for the time being.

I'm content (NAC-N 272 + NAP200 into PMC 20.23). 

Never say never, but would need a big step to be worth the cost...

My bedroom system is fini with the possible exception of interconnects.  I can see the end for the living room system, but it's a ways off yet: 250DR to upgrade the NAP 200, and an NDS/555 combo to replace ND5XS and nDAC w/ cuddly toy power supplies (2 boxes for 4 - yay!).  But that's going to take a LOT of saving, so what I have now is "semi-permanent."

'I can stop whenever I want. Just one more sip, that's all. But I can stop whenever I want'.

I've probably stopped, at least on the major stuff.  I'd like to try the Focal Sopra 2s at home but my dealer has been very honest in saying that the space they would need in my listening room would be such that a sofa would have to go, which I'm not ready to do so will stick with my lovely 1028bes. Apart from that the only thing I can think of is if Naim produce a Super Lumina version of the DC1. That would nice   .   Meanwhile I'm very happy with the performance level that my system gives me.

I was going to stop when I added 250dr, 282, HC to go with the Sopra2's .....but then on a visit from Finkfan, he suggested I should try the 300dr, we both use the same very accommodating dealer ....and seemed to think I would be offered a really good trade in deal....unfortunately for my wallet he was right....

The 300dr arrived, and I probably decided in all of 30 seconds after switch on, that it was here to stay.

If I'm completely honest with myself,  I'm very much leaning towards a set of TQ black diamond speaker cables, and a couple of atacama racks...and....

No, most likely finished after that...

I have stopped wanting to upgrade anything, I have been very happy for the last five or six years and I desire nothing.

The system just plays music and is so enjoyable, I just don't see the need to change anything :-)

I cannot stop since I have never started in the first place.. I must say though that I am content, otherwise, my 16 years old unchanged system (Nait 3, 3.5 player, Proacs) would be a solid proof that I have been living in misery all this time.

I too fear I am content; CD5si into Superuniti and NAP 200 to PMC Twenty 23's plus. UnitiQute 2 to Neat Iota's in my study.

I doubt I will ever enter the realm on £1k patch leads and retired Cisco switches, although typically impressed with PL's to my main system .

KR, J

System is way ahead of anything I ever thought I'd achieve.  

Regards,

Lindsay

I'm pretty close to my endgame, but I'm pretty sure Naim are hell bent on scuppering my plan (and everyone else's) by revamping their streamers, and probably everything else.

Ken – I wouldn't go to a hi-fI anonymous group unless you like Incognito

I'm pretty sure you're in a race to make the fastest ever ascent of the Naim ladder, all the way from Qute to Statement.

I beg to differ... started with a SuperUniti... which is still doing a stellar duty in our dining room / kitchen.
