Little rustle on my tweeter

Posted by: Robbert on 21 March 2004

I've a NAIT5 and if i lay my ear for about 1 centimeter from the tweeter i hear a very low ruslte from the tweter. Also when i have the volume button on zero ( 0 )

Is this normal with NAIM or is it the placement of the apparatus?

When i'm in my chair i will not hear the rustle.

What can i do to put that rustle away? Or must i leave it?

Ï suspect the "rustle" is the quiet hissing noise which comes thru'the speakers from the power amp circuits. If you only hear it right up close to the speakers do not worry. It is a "fact of life" with Naim. Often reported & discussed here in the past.

I saw your other post about changing inputs with the remote. It looks like the correct remote to me and should work as described.
(unless the "codes"for the NAIT are different from the other pre-amps). How about checking the batterys are'nt close to "end of life"

This is normal - don't worry about it. For what it's worth when I demmed nait5/cd5/fc2 with Dynaudio speakers (contour 1.1s) there was a lot more background hiss than with my B&W CDM1NTs.

Think yourself lucky; with my NAIT3/Rega Elas the hiss is audible across the room - almost like tape hiss!

It's not a fault of my amp, rather that the speakers are relatively sensitive...

Just a fact of life Smile
