Quick, tell the administrator. He said the "fuse" word.

I was just doing a change around from CD5+hIcAP/102+NAPSC/180 to cd5/102+napsc+HiCap/180.Changed it all back around to the original,repowered,and no HiCap.
So checked the obvious first!
Thanks for the info.

Ceri,
you must ensure that you get a T fuse as replacement otherwise it will blow each time the Hi-Cap is switched on. Your Naim dealer should be a able to supply a suitable replacement. Once you replace the fuse, if it blows again it's a sign of a possible fault condition within the unit and should be taken to your dealer (or returned directly to us at Naim) for service attention.

Excuse my ignorance with all things electrical but what is a 'T' fuse? Wont one from Maplins with all the correct ratings do?

Ceri,
the T stands for "time" - In laymans terms: it will allow a small surge of current at switch-on to pass without blowing the fuse. If the surge exceeds this small window of time such as in the case of a fault condition then the fuse will blow as normal.

I believe these are also known as 'anti-surge' (which actually means they will allow a surge).
