What to expect from a Nait-2 service?
Posted by: Top Cat on 30 June 2003
Hiya folks.
My wife rather likes her Nait-2, which we've now had for a little under three years. I don't think it has ever been recapped, and more recently its power chord has been 'bunnied' (there is always a risk of this with houserabbits) which means that I've had to drastically cut its powerchord back.
We're thinking about getting it serviced, either by Naim or a Naim-approved dealer (Robert Ritchie in Montrose, I think).
Other than a possible improvement in sound quality (which has been mentioned time and again on these forums), what *technically* does a typical service involve? I.e. new caps? new powerchord? new switchgear? ???
Really just a bit curious - wouldn't mind the gain being tweaked too, so that low volumes are do-able without the cut-off effect.
