The SN2 has been discontinued. I just decided to go back to Naim by replacing my Lumin X1 with Naim NDX2/SN2. I wanted to duplicate the incredible ease of use of my Naim Nova with better performance. I decided the SN3 didn't offer enough for me to pay the price in cost and wait time.
They say you can never go home again. We'll see.

The SN2 is a wonderful integrated, especially with Harbeth. I originally had 30.1 but will eventually order the 30.2 to go with it in a second system. The SN2/30.1 combo won best of show several years ago. I’m sure you will love it.

Back in the day it was a used SN that started me on Naim. I wandered away but I'm now coming back.

I'm adding a HiCap-DR. It's pay me now or pay me later so I might as well bite the bullet. I know the drill with Naim and their power supplies.

I was able to acquire the complete package (mint Demo). No breaking in! I have to wait on the new Ansuz C2 IC's but I can use my trusty Chords while I wait.
Now I have some things to sell (Ansus Ethernet cables, Gigafoil, linear PS for the Gigafoil, etc.)

Back in the day I might go for years w/o making a change. Now my age and health has me thinking about now not the future.
Yes, but I’m replacing two streamers with one so I don’t need the Gigafoil and Ethernet cables I was using with the Lumin X1.

I used to buy cars and keep them 10 years. When I hit my mid 40's I realized that at that pace I'd not own very many more cars! So I started doing 3 year leases
I just shot you a PM about the ethernet. But I agree with those sentiments; I enjoyed by SN2 based system for about 6 years, and only about 6 months ago got the itch to upgrade. Stayed with Naim SN2/NDX2 is a very very nice system with a nice low box count. I really hope that you enjoy it!!bluegrassphile

I can identify with that. I turn seventy in January. I'm in good general health as far as I know. But...??? This may be the last new high end system I'll own. So, I'm gonna make it count.

Naim recently had a one day sale so I'm swapping my NDX/XPS for ND555/555PS. As Nelson Pass once said, audiophiles are members of the lunatic fringe. Old dogs like me never learn. Back in the day I got rid of my Naim NDS because I didn't like having to deal with Transit screws on the NDS and the Naim Fraim it required..I used to buy cars and keep them 10 years. When I hit my mid 40's I realized that at that pace I'd not own very many more cars! So I started doing 3 year leases
Now I've got an ND555 with transit screws and the knowledge that my Quadraspire rack probably isn't good enough. Then there is the Supernait 2 and the Harbeth's that can't match the Naim 500 series kit.
My wife of 56 years kept me grounded and w/o her I'm like a kid in a candy store with a pocket full of money.

I very much enjoyed my sn2 , it was a bit fussy with connected equipment sometimes but very muscular and holographic . i look forward to hearing the sn3 sometime

I just bought a Nd555 etc at that sale also. I loved my NDS 8 years ago and have been through several players since then. I always felt they were a sideways move but for 1/4 the price. So I switched. So now with how I know Naim is with their 500 series components, I had to give the ND555 a try. Once I get it and it gets broken in I'll let everybody know what I think - good or bad. Did I go for what I think I remember or ... was the NDS just the first digital player that i heard was worth a .... I honestly have no I idea. I'm so lucky in this business climate to be able to find out.

Congrats Jock! The ND555 is very nice. Looking forward to your comments.

Any more details about this "sale?" I was recently offered an opportunity to upgrade to a 552 preamp at a nice price, and perhaps this was part of the same "one day sale." My dealer didn't elaborate.
*EDIT* I'm trading my 252/SuperCapDR towards the 552!
