CDS-CDSII upgrade

Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 January 2003

With the impending release of the new CDS3 CD player we are getting a large number of enquiries asking us how long we will be running our special CDS-CDSII upgrade scheme.

Our intention is to cease this scheme on the 31st March, 2003. Obviously we need to keep back a certain amount of parts to ensure that we can service CDSII players for a good few years hence. We would therefore appreciate those of you who are contemplating this upgrade to let your dealer or local distributor know sooner rather than later so we can allocate enough parts for the upgrades.

Further details on the CDS-CDSII upgrade can be obtained by contacting your local dealer or distributor or else call or e-mail Sheila or Mark in our Service department.

p.s. Before anybody asks the inevitable: it's unlikely we will be able to offer a similar scheme to upgrade to a CDS3 due to the completely different layout of the new player. If anything changes in the future, we'll let you know.

Competition may be an issue against disclosing schematics and other secrets. But there is an other one : unscrupulous DIYers.
What would you think if the market (e-auctions or s/h) become full of products with "Naim design amplifier", "preamp with Naim circuits", "integreted amp X... with Naim phono stage".
Naim products cannot be resumed by electronic schematics. On most of the Naim products, change one part, one wire route and all the magic is gone.
Repairing Naim products is not only an engeneering job, it's also an art.

“Repairing Naim products is not only an engeneering job, it's also an art.”

While I admire Naim’s “art” designing audio products, repairing any Naim equipment is no way an art, it’s just good technician’s work. It does not need any prayer, any poetry and any mystique.
