In Reply to: Naim Niat 2 -is this normal??? posted by shollie on April 14, 2007 at 09:55:22:
I had a nait 2 many moons ago and it didn't exhibit any of those problems. Get the Naim cable ASAP as it's essentially part of the circuit design and you'll only get the best from it with the Naim cable.Aside from that, the Nait 2 is one of the only pieces of equipment I've had that I wish I'd kept. There's a lot of magic in that little box and when partnered with the right speakers it's a joy to listen to. Enjoy.
Cheers,
Craig.

Turn-on and turn-off thumps are all normal on all Naim amplifiers. (even the current ones )Also, all Naim preamp is high gain and in the most system 9' O'clock volume is sufficiently loud unless you run a vinyl source. If you use a high gain phono stage with speakers over 90db, your ears would give out before it reaches 9 O'clock, even.
A channel imbalance at a low volume is common amongst the Nait 2 That's how they were on the even newly serviced units I have listened to )
Nostalgia can make everything looks prettier than it was, perhaps? ;)
Go figure, I guess I got one that slipped through the net. It did not exhibit those problems. Using it with Epos ES11's in a medium sized room my normal listening level was about 10 o'clock on the dial, and at times higher.Such is life.
of course I didn't turn mine on or off very often as it was left on all the time so it may be that I missed that aspect.
I realise that you *can* minimise by matching caps and diodes. And that I could see some units, by luck, might have a lower turn-on noise than others.It's perfectly normal and do not harm anything, anyways. I realise it's disconcerting for the first timers, however.
I keep my amps 24/7, not from the necessity but purely out of laziness.
It is more sensible if you turn off the system when not used. However, in the case of an older NAP 500, it easily blows a fuse at the turn-on.
I think naim said leave it on all the time because of what has been mentioned.
