Back from absence & what's the view on when to service your Naim gear?
Posted by: KTMax on 10 March 2017
Hi everybody,
I'm back after a few years of absence from this great forum. My audio hobby took a back seat for a while and rebuilding & moving to a new house even led to my gear being boxed up for two years and I didn't even care! I don't understand how this is possible myself but that's what happend... ![]()
Anyhow, my system is up and running again for 5 or 6 weeks now and I am completely in love with it's performance and the sonic character of my living room. It's an old house of 100+ years old with wooden floors etc. and my first sweet sounding room after many years in new hard sounding concrete rooms. What a revelation!!
So now it's major tweaking time to dail in my system. Exact speaker positioning, shelf order, mains block order and last but not least the mains supply itself. Right now I'm auditioning various cables (and connectors) to choose the cable for a dedicated spur without auto circuitbreakers etc. Fascinating stuff.
Now on to my question; all my gear is from mid 2009 so almost 8 years of which 2 years boxed up unused. I wonder what the general consensus and experience is on when is the right time to get the components serviced by Naim? To me everything sounds fabulous. Better than ever even but you age along with your gear so I might not hear the need for service.
