Mike's system

I disagree. The gear ratios are quite fun. Better that the regular Cayman S and 911s.

The PDK is definitely faster tho!!!!

The gear ratios on the stick are all messed up. This is a car built for the PDK. The 6 speed stick has first gear going to 55mph, and 2nd going to 85mph. It’s really designed for PDK. And quite a bit faster with PDK too: 3.4 Vs 4.1.

No film, though I thought hard about it. Just knew I was going to daily it and move onto the next car eventually. Would get it for something special that I want to hold onto for a while, though. Let’s see how this Emira turns out.

I love that color! Looks amazing. Cool rims.

Did you get any PPF?

I prefer no wing on my daily drive, it’s easier to park and I don’t have the constant feeling of being tailgate

On a track it’s a deferent story, it’s there for a reason.

Thank you. I did. I bounced around the idea for weeks. The hard core NAIM guys on the NAIM forum really feel the 500 is the place to be in the price to performance ratio, unless you need the power. My room is small at home and I just don't see needing the power. In the Statement, I bet that preamp is amazing. That’s what kept me thinking, but the 552 is no slouch and weighs twice what the 252 does in the store.

My only consideration right now is one more PSU for the 555. I blame Jock (The Professor) for putting that thought in my head. He has two on his 555. One for the analog section, one for the digital section. He’s a bad influence.

have been close on to pull the trigger on the 555 myself as i had a good offer.
that time the evaluations result was that i would have gone with 2 ps.
well, eventually i went with the new linn klimax. another level for not much more money compared and requires lots less space, cabling, rack....
on another note, my friend has still a statement pre and amp to sell. certainly another level than the 500er, whatever they write in the die hard forum. i d say they are in the wordls top ten amps. easy. 65k euro exportprice for both together pre and power, if you want or anybody else.
would have bought them myself if i did not have heisenbergs. and my wife do not like the tall size.

I just love the wing and aggressive front. Looks so bad ass!

Oh naim , one of my favorites
I wish I could listen to the 500 or statement…. I wish the local dealer had them on demo.

My very first (good) system was lp12 / grace, nap135 and isoberik, I kept the lp12 ( it’s was modified many times since) and the 135 ( recap 3 times ) and still enjoying. Imagine I purchase it 1980… kind of crazy

Ah . . . .

I used to have a 4 pack of 135s w SBLs.

The 500 makes them sound broken. Don't listen to it.

Apparently a few NAIM boxes arrived while I’ve been away.
