Naim Recapping

I have noticed that an apparent disproportionate number of sellers of Naim equipment make reference to the need for recapping; or the date/interval since the last recapping. One rarely sees that for other electronic components. What is different about Naim components with respect to possibly more frequent recapping?

Definitely worth it. You can not only get "close-to-new" or as close as you can remember with decade-old gear, you can also get better than new thanks to evolving designs, component improvements and so on...and when you get these in the course of "routine service"--figure it out.

Operaddict, you must be assuming that Naim upgrades other components as part of the recap which they do not. That is sometimes available at additional cost, frequently not.

I applaud Naim for standing by their products, but personally do not see the value.
