Hi all, my 552 and its power supply is about to go back to mother ship, i asked naim to look at the history it has on my 500, been told about when the 500 was DR’ed, but they didn’t have the 500 power supply at the same time, or had it back at any time, so either its never been serviced, or its been looked at by someone else, so is there any dates on the caps etc, that would indicate its age? As if not i will be sending this off at the same time as the 552.
Its just that both parts off the 500 are in the newer style boxes, unless the 500 came in them to start with ? Anyway it would be nice to check it, before i send it off.
I’m pretty sure that the capacitors in the 500PS do have a date code on them. It’s usually a four figure format showing week number and year, could be either way around.
For example, week 39 2009 would be 3909 or 0939.
