Naim now say the 52 was serviced in 2013. So thanks for reminding me to place an update.
I had some uni friends staying recently, he has a sizeable collection and has been contemplating ripping it. We listened to a wide range of music, and concluded that no tinkering is required.
What I mean to say that since splitting the consumer unit, I am revisiting my music and enjoying it. Scratching that the upgrade itch has had its benefits but perhaps there is no need to open the wallet just yet anyway. Although reading a thread about someone’s RP1 plus today made me think I could find a way to enjoy those old vinyls that are hidden away.
