System damage?

Posted by: Kjetil E on 16 March 2017

Just got my SN2 powered up. I connected the wrong input from nDAC and started to play. Didn't hear anything so I changed between inputs and hit the AV. Music came out on full volume for a 2-3 seconds. 

Changed inputs and started over. Could there be any damage except my ears? ��

check the tweeters still work and turn off av bypass for next time.

Tweeters are good! Amp is really good ��Ears will recover I think.

Whoops !!    .and who hasn't done the same or similar in their journey through the audio upgrade jungle ?

I blew just about everything clean out of the cabinets on an early pair of Linn Kabers a few years ago, but my B&W 802's withstood the onslaught of a NAP300 when I installed the Naim app on both my own and SWMBO's iPad... it's a long story       SWMBO doesn't have the Naim app on her iPad any more

Windows are intact I presume?

Seems like my spendors made it through this time ��, phuuu!!

I'm now running both SN 1 and 2 in comparison. I must say I hope SN2 settles in during the next 24-48 hours. It seems a little muddy now compared to the old one. SN1 has been powered on for the past month so maybe it isn't fair play now.

It will take up to 8 weeks for a new / unused piece of Naim kit to 'settle down' into a new system.

Wait untill you add a HiCap DR

PS. You can disable AV bypass on the back of the SN2 - there is a sliding switch.

Bought it second hand so I think it has sufficient ours on the clock. I can start a new thread about the differences, but I'll give it a couple of days since it has been in transit for a week. 

Thank you for the info about the switch. Changed the input to CD to be shure

Interesting,  & bit off thread (apologies) ,  When I had a weekend home demo with an SN2 (dealers demo unit) with a view to a change.  I ended up keeping my old Supernait,  I was not convinced about any SQ gain but I must make it clear it was very good,  a touch different maybe some better but I did not detect the same detail in SQ,  I expect that if I was coming from another amp I might have been very happy.  I suspect (maybe) I was subliminally reluctant to let go how I use the very useful to me 'Record' bank facility.

It literally took weeks for mine to settle down/me to get used to it but it was well worth the wait.  With the Hicap DR on its special and I have no desire at all to upgrade.  Enjoy the ride
