Interesting point re the Powerline. Having said that Naim have always put a lot of emphasis into power supplies haven't they?

Yes, systems can certainly sound completely different at home and at the dealers. I could put the "savings" towards a 400 though I'm trying to resist the temptation of another multi-box system. I would really like a totally invisible Hi-Fi
One of frustrating things about Naim is that their components often don't sound good unless you do add one of their power supplies - so a £3k streamer actually ends up costing£6.5k-£9k, a £4k pre-amp really needs a £3k+ power supply, a £2k phono stage needs the same.... Still, at least they do offer those options. The sometimes horrendous buzzing from their linear power supplies (which they have done nothing to address over the years) was another reason for my move to Devialet.

Hi Petter,
I know it's a bit rude to ask but please could you give me an idea of the cost of the Frey 2 that you had made. No problem if you would rather not say
Thanks,
Philip
