NAP 250 service

Posted by: Noel on 23 July 2002

My 250 has been home a while now. Maybe the sound had slowly 'gone off' and I hadn't really noticed it, but it sounded significantly better than when it went for service as soon as I plugged it all in. I always leave the stereo on and it has improved over the past few days. It was well worth doing. In a couple of months I will take it to a friends who has one of the same vintage and we'll put them side by side to see jiust how big the change really is, but a big thank you to Naim for sorting it so well and so quickly. smile

Hi Hakan,
It depends on whether they need to do anything extra, but it cost me approx £150 excluding delivery. Naim will give quotes and you can decide whether you want to proceed. I'm now thinking of having my Hi-Cap serviced as well.

How does the 8-10 years rule for re-cap vary if you leave the kit constantly powered? Is it time based or usage based?

Bosh,
The 250 I'll be putting mine against in a few months, is used frequently, but left off in between sessions. I always thought that a steady state meant a longer life for this kind of equipment. I leave mine on because I think it sounds better.
