How long is it since your last upgrade?
Posted by: Sloop John B on 06 August 2018
A new member [@mention:76469591777888342] posting he has been happy with his system for 13 years got me to thinking about frequency of upgrades.
So how about 3 answers
- your last upgrade of any description
- your last hardware upgrade
- your last Naim upgrade (or second system purchase etc. )
For me
- True Signal DIN to RCA cable 4 months ago.
- This is either a Holo audio spring DAC last September 2017 or a dedicated PC to run Roon January 2018 depending on whether you consider a computer to be part of the audio system.
- My last Naim purchase was a CD555 in 2011 ( sold on in 2017).

Mine was in December last year. ATC SCM11 and a Fraimlite, both highly impressive. I think another upgrade may also be on the cards this December.

Putting my LP12 on a Hi-Fi Racks Podium Reference wall shelf in February this year.
linear power supply for my NAS Drive in January this year. Previous hardware upgrade was 2nd hand LP12/ Lingo Mk1 and 2nd hand Ittok LVIII arm bought separately from a well known auction site, then sent straight to the Sound Oganisation in York for "modernisation", power supply service/ recap and setting up. I got it home end of November 2016.
2nd hand 555PS with DR upgrade purchased from a well known auction site in October 2016.

1 and 2 Replace worn out Arkiv A with Akiva 2003
3 CDS to CDS II 1999
If getting my kit serviced in 2009 counts as an upgrade, the service would count as 1, 2, and 3.
