Regarding the C-2, have you tried a tube buffer to see if it changes the sound to your liking? I'm having tremendous results with a cheapo tube buffer (with upgraded tubes) in my system and can only recommend it.
NS-690's are the sleeper hit...never fatiguing and always a pleasure.
New place and finally room to spread out...the NS-1000x's are sounding the best I've ever heard them.

Playing with acoustic panels at the moment and how I want to set up the room. The rooms a little small, but it’s balancing out. Never realized how much treatment could improve something till I decide to do it.
Current setup sumiko blue point evo iii- vpi Classic- Yamaha c4- bozak n106b (bi amp)- yamaha m2 (bass)- Yamaha m4 (mids/tweets)- bozak cg’s.
The c-2 under the turn table I’m not impressed with. (Yes it’s been completely gone through) only thing that needs to see a tech is the m4.

I'm not really very fond of the C-2 or the C-2a. And have my doubts on the C-2x as well. But haven't had the opportunity to play with one yet. C-4,C-80/85 , C-70 are my favorites. C-1's are kick ass when working correctly.The C-2 would likely prefer a B-2, B-2x or the M-85 type series

I sold my C-2a.I will most likely sell the C-2 as well.If a C-2x pops up for a very reasonable price..maybe.. No fricken way I'm going to pay the going price.A C-2 is not in league with a C-2x and I have yet to hear a C-2a. I thoroughly enjoy my C-4 but again the C-2x is a superior device. What I briefly heard of my C-70 I liked. C-1 is on my bucket list.

This would definitely need to be auditioned thoroughly.There have been more C-2x's sold online in the last year than I've ever seen. Many have gone for less than the going rate and less than I paid for mine.
Woow, some competition on the Darth Vader department
I skipped just a couple of days of watching this thread and you are putting out a showMX-1, CDX-1120 and NS-1000xw's. The line stage, an autoformer volume control design, is a UK piece.
The MX-1 sounds great in this setup.

Yes indeed. Their size is deceiving, until you see them next to other equipmentLooks like a playground to me.
The BX-1's are kinda huge.
Is that a Yamaha DBT?
The other 2 are packed and ready to ship.Woow, some competition on the Darth Vader department
Why only two BX-1s?
No, but it's for testing Yamaha gear.Is that a Yamaha DBT?
