First frustration of a Naim system

Posted by: Rockingdoc on 27 September 2002

As a newcomer to the complete Naim system I have just encountered my first major frustration. The system suddenly stopped working yesterday, but which box is to blame? All the lights are on CDS/52/Supercap/250, but no sound.
Usually I would just swap in other pre-amps and power amps to find the guilty pary, but with the stange connectors and 'instability' of the 250 with other pre-amps, such diagnosis ain't so easy (ok I was able to eliminate the CDS).
So I'll have to pack up all the boxs and take the lot back to the dealer.
Anyone got any diagnostic tips for dealing with the peculiarities of Naim connectors?

My dealer has uncovered the truth;
The first NAC52 was a faulty ex-demonstrator which Naim sent out as a new unit by mistake, which they were big enough to admit now.

The second one was just broken.

Still awaiting the third.
