Statement top panel

If I owned one I'd tell you for sure! But it does look like there's something there 

Ah yes - looks like there is a switch asssembly underneath. Just saw a picture earlier and was curious as to what they were

They get removed when you attach the Statement streamer, which sits on top. It avoids leads and provides full integration.

Ah - the new No-Line connection then. 

Do you really not know what it is ? Ok, I'll tell you...... it's the panic button you press to alert the Naim retraction team to come and save you when your  " better half " has just seen your credit card statement after it's been purchased .

Things are going well for you if your credit limit will stretch to £150,000 or whatever it costs these days. 

HH you've only got to kick a ball around for an hour and a half a week and you can pay for it with your debit card!

Yes indeed, and then spend the rest of the season 'injured' listening to your new Statement you bought from playing one week of the year.

Found it -

One chooses an active input by pushing one of the backlit push-buttons placed on top of preamplifier close to its rear edge. For those who enjoy a dark listening room, the white backlit can be turned off.

Alternatively,  you could visit the naim factory during the early hours.....possibly need a sack truck... 

I thought they were cigarette lighters. Gotta make use of that heat from all those Watts... ahem.

Wenger, my quip was not a dig at Arsenal players per se. Although they have had more than their fair share of injuries.

Football players seem to be somewhat 'delicate' these days, or is me?

Yes I agree,  delicate, sensitive, moody, possibly just like my mother in law

Power amps have 2 buttons, standby/on and display (I think).  Here's the preamp top panel:

Here it is demonstrating its coaster function:

Could that be the worlds most expensive coaster? 

Cheers Graham - that's the clearest photo i've seen so thanks for answering my question 

And for those of more modest means...

Soccer injuries eh - Sir Bobby Charlton went through his whole career without getting injured.

There's probably a solid platinum, diamond encrusted coaster for oligarchs or oil sheiks that make Statement look like loose change

Well, maybe not coasters, but I did find TWO champagne glasses for $400K.  Better not drop them...

I hope you get to drink from those when you place a statement order!?!
