Channel out on my Nait XS2

Posted by: Juddson Plimpington on 23 January 2016

After months of flawless service, the right channel on my Nait XS2 has gone out. Weird, it was back in this morning, now out again. And I mean "dead out". No "bleed" from the working channel at all. (However, when I feed the input of the bad channel only, it WILL bleed into the good channel).

I have 100% traced it to the Nait. The feeds are good. The speakers and cables are good. I'm using the RCA inputs, btw.

Any ideas??

Anyway, used item. So - no warranty. I'll pony up the $$$ for repair (fantastic amp previously), but hoping I'm overlooking something obvious. Do the link plugs ever go bad on these?

AND as soon as I hit "post", the channel came back!!! I'm going to need a psychiatric unit!!

Still, something is up!

This has happened to me once or twice in six years. I just unplug it, go to dinner for an hour, come back, and it works. Don't panic.

This happened to me twice. Something to do with the relays being stuck, but I found it a bit irritating. Naim service brilliant as ever, as was Darran at Class A.

Yes, happened to mine once. A stuck relay iirc - didn't get better with rest and had to go back to Naim for a fix. All fine thereafter and reasonably inexpensive.
