Working away, turning off ?

Posted by: StuSaff on 19 December 2017

Good evening all.

I was after a bit of advice. I'm starting a new job in January which will mean being away from Monday - Friday, I will be back every weekend. My question is, should I turn off all my naim units and then turn back on when I get home Friday night? I have read the debates on turning on and off and was interested in what other forum residents would suggest.

many thanks

Stuart

Paradoxically, I think cold Naim kit can give the music an engaging alacrity. It's 24 - 36 hours into power-up that I find things can go a bit fat/bloaty/slow. Then one has to get beyond that time period for the positive sonic aspects to return and build.

These observations chime well with me J.N. I also quite like the ‘cold’ sound as an alternative. Cooler and somehow thinner, but light on its feet and a valid, different view.

Also echo your advice to not just power off, but also pull the mains plugs ( and Ethernet cable?) if lightning strike is ones concern.
