NAC 552

Posted by: greekspec2 on 21 April 2017

I got an opportunity now and would anyone recommend purchasing a 2007 552 and wedge it into the DR gear I have or wait for a newer 552-DR to come along

Since 552 is just around the corner, no point in wasting too much money on a step in the middle. And the Nac72 was the top of the line Naim Amp at some point - if just for  a very short while.

The median price of a house in San Jose is almost $1.1M, so there you go. New York and Boston are affordable by comparison.

The average income in my old neighborhood was close to $2,000,000/year. Mostly due to the fact one guy owns a large hedge fund company and Oprah lived across the street from us. Talk about feeling "poor"....

If you're ever felling poor just walk into your local WalMart. Then again, you may not even have to walk in. Look into cars in the parking lot and you might get a sense of how many folks are living out of their cars. Don't look under bridges and overpasses. America's middle class is vanishing and we're becoming a nation of "haves" and "have-nots", the latter exponentially outnumbering the former.

Apologies for the thread digression.
