durability of a Supernait

Posted by: Gosseries on 09 January 2019

Any idea about the lifetime of a Supernait 1? I wonder it because I intend a second hans one, almost 10 years old.

My 1974 Naim NAC12 is still going strong and sounding really good too after 45 years. With proper care and servicing I would expect similar service from a current Naim amplifier. Naim normally recommend servicing around the 10 year mark, but I would ask Naim what their recommendation is with regard to Supernait servicing

Mine is 10 years old and it sounds great. Given the age I decided to ask the North American distributor how much a recap (recommended type of maintenance) would cost. They didn't know, they hadn't done one yet - no need. They assured me when it was time it wouldn't be that involved or expensive.

The Supernait is a superb piece of kit, I had the SN1 for a time and really enjoyed it, it’s an extremely capable black box.

As has been suggested it’s best to check with Naim HQ.

its worth checking out the seller, I am amazed sometimes just how roughly some boxes are treated.
