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.
