A friend of mine recently ran into some money and is looking to fully replace his 2-channel stereo system as an early retirement gift to himself. He has $50K to spend on speakers, separates and turntable. I've priced out the ultimate Naim/Linn system for him within this budget:

Naim CDX2 CD Player: $5,600
Naim XPS2 Power Supply: $5,000
Naim NAC 282 Preamp: $6,250
Naim HiCap2 Power Supply: $1,900
Naim NAP 200 Poweramp: $2950
Naim Allae Speakers: $5,000
Naim Fraim Shelving: $2,400 (2 base) + $6,200 (8 shelves)
Naim Hi-Line Interconnect: $1,000
Naim NACA5 Speaker Cabling: $230
Noisetrapper NANA Powerstrip: $350

Linn LP12 turntable: $2,030
Linn Ekos SE tonearm: $4950
Naim SuperLine phono stage: $2,950
Naim NAPSA2 power supply: $1,700
Dynavector DV-20XL cartridge: $680

Total: US$49,190

So much fun to spend someone else's money!

cheers,
