NAIM 282/250DR/HC2DR against Accuphase E5000

Thanks for that, the E5000 only really got my interest due to the Kudos UK had the 707 (yes not the 606, but similar I guess) and Accuphase E5000 paired up at a recent HiFi Show and it was a hit apparently.

I had a NAIM 252/300/NDS system and the cable jungle did drive me crazy at times. The price increases over the years with Naim has gotten way out of control TBH. It’s not longer remotely affordable - even their low -mid level stuff like what I’m looking at. Their only VFM product now is the SN3 and I’m not sure that’s appropriate for the Kudos 606 TBH.

Thanks all, looks like the Accuphase E5000 is the one for me. Especially for the price against the 282/250/HC combo. that VFM is very, very poor in my country.

Chayro, May I ask what Integrated amp. you went with ?

Nice, I’m not familiar with that, but I’m sure it’s a wonderful combination. Another even more simple and reduced cables/boxes was an active speaker set up. The ATC SCM50A and say Benchmark LA4 preamp was suggested by my dealer. Not sure I would want to lock myself into active speakers though…
