Leaving Naim kit powered on!
Posted by: AntonD on 15 August 2012
Hi
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am new to Naim. I leave both my supernait and nd5xs powered on. Should I select a specific input on the nait when not in use?
Any other advice regarding this subject is most welcome.
Cheers, Anton
Great post mike 1951 best 7 minutes 39 seconds of my time spent today.
I abandoned this thread as its been 'polluted' by Beavis and Butthead!
@ Jasonf, I take it so that you are one of those who like to add gasoline into the flames instead of trying to extinguish the fire.

Lol, that came out wrong. I was refering to others.
However - apart from the NAIM stack and the phone, I am scrupulous in turning off all other "standby/power indicator" lights in the house, because it's a WASTE OF MONEY to keep them on.
My money in this case, anyway. The planet will take care of it's own future.
Heard of the Yellowstone caldera? Blows up into an ELE every 60,000 years or so. When was the last time? 60,000 years ago.
That's not to mention all the future hits from large chunks of space debris. Not if, when.
We're doomed. The likely survivors will be cockroaches. Where's your "global warming" concerns after that, hey?
It's not so much about taking care of the planet's future: It's more about helping maintain the planet in a state where it can sustain us.
In other words, do you take a sledgehammer to the walls of your house? Or do you do your best to maintain it in a pristine state to pass it along to the next generation.
Having said that, I leave my gear on all the time. I don't think it matters that much in the grand scheme of things.
Actually, as I sit here......what about an energy power consumption label like we have on white goods.
The collective power saving would be immense and Naim can make a name for itself on the Hi End audio circuit.....what a scoop.
Come on Naim do your bit!

Doesn't it need a future (which of course, it hasn't got) to do any sustaining?

I think the point is that the planet will continue to exist with or without us. It will be what it will be. Discussions over whether that future state without (large numbers of) people is in some way "right" or desirable are pointless. The issue is how to avoid human (and other species') suffering on an unprecedented scale as climate change and associated habitat destruction changes things rapidly and permanently.
One drive through the city at night says to me that my switching off everything is like peeing in the sea to make it deeper.
Years ago I used to turn my telly off every night. Then the switch failed. I need say no more.

Exactly!!
