150 on or off ?
Posted by: Mario on 04 January 2002
Today I went to my naim dealers shop to listen to the new Allaes. He has them demonstrated with the fully optimised series 5 kit of which I have aquired the cd5/112/150 so far. I noticed that every time I go there, he has his nap150 powered down when not in use, but the cd5/112/FC2 continuously on. My cd5/112/150 have been all left on continuously since the day I bought them home and I have not got a FC2 yet.Is this wastefull or is it shortening the life of the amplifier and once I purchase the FC2 should I to power down the 150 when not in use? Does that loud pop on start up damage the loudspeakers when done many many times and is the amps power switch around the back to deter you from turning it off even when you do own a FC2?
Sorry for the multiple questions guys, but this gear sounds so good that I want it to last forever.
p.s. the Allaes sound really nice, so smooth, but very involving and refined, good one naim,
Mario.
