500 DR upgrade time

Posted by: Harry on 18 February 2016

I've just been contacted by Audience Bath to tell me that our 500 is going in next week. I will report accordingly.

Also for information. Anyone in Bath between now and the week after the Bristol show can hear the Statement amps at Audience. We're going to toddle in at some point. Fools that we are.

Hi Ken

But when you take into account the residual value of 2 new ones is far higher than updated ones.

But the trade-in/new option is c£15000 more than the service/DR option for what in essence is the same performance.

I owned a 552/500 for couple of years and so far still satisfying, recently plan to upgrade for DR in my PS side (it means, send to UK for upgrade my 552PS and 500PS to DR verion), but my dealer quoted me the upgrading price were same like buying the new DR PS for both 552 & 500. For me the Naim no more value for money. May be this is because of side effect that big corporate taking over?

No. It sounds more like a consequence of living where you do. Shipping costs and dealer margins must be astronomical. The situation for a UK owner is nothing like that.
