Just in case anyone else has made the same error!

All,

Worth a mention to anyone with an NDX(or perhaps other streamer/HDX) and a SN2(Or maybe other Naim amps/pre's)....

Are you using the CD input on your amp?

If so, try the tuner input instead(I'm aware the manual says use HHD input).

After advice from my dealer whilst discussing how poor my kit sounded, I made the switch and much to my surprise it was miles better instantly.

Something to do with Naim amps having the CD input attenuated as CD players have a bigger output voltage?

Might sound like nonsense, but it certainly worked for me.

Why a dozen times? With a DIN plug once is enough and two insertions are more than sufficient to clean the contacts.
Simply overkill to avoid saying try again two or three times if the first doesn't do it, while recognising the long static state and potential for worse oxidation.
Then you need to replace the plugs and sockets as you've worn through the plating.

what is the plating metal (I assume SL plug probably will have same as SN2 sockets?)

Standard plating is silver, but gold and nickel have been used by some manufacturers,
