Yes @Innocent_Bystander , that would be my impression as well. From a personal point of view, my SN3 required balance adjustment away from centre at all levels - very low volume was worse.
Volume imbalance was quite noticeable on my 252 at very low levels.
Havenāt noticed it all on my 552.
I thinks itās a little bit āpotā luck
Excuse the pun
If you see 110dbās post on the topic that I linked to, the app method relies upon ZigBee and a connected NSS333, so if either or both donāt apply then balance is only adjustable via the remote.
Caveated by the fact I donāt own any of this kit, just quoting Naim staff!!
Thanks @gthack . Yes indeed mine is connected to the 333 remotely but I havenāt found anywhere on the app to do the balance adjustment. It would be great to find out where on the app the adjustment is, even though I may never use it.
Actually whilst I think the 332 sounds fantastic, the actual feel of the volume control is disappointing - doesnāt have a nice weighty feel of a Classic pre amp.
No problem. I wish I had the kit to take a look myself Hopefully some kind soul can assist
While I use the remote more I do really like the feel of the 332 volume control a lot more than my old SN3.
I donāt use the actual knob much myself and my only complaint with the 222 is itās not as thick as the 272 knob. But it functions as good if not better so itās a pretty minor complaint.
Hence the reason many are sceptical a new 500 series will ever see light of day
I always thought it looks light and seems like it feels like it looks then
An experienced listener can probably make that assessment despite some differences, donāt you think?
Our 252 is unbalanced but only at the level audio first appears from speakers. The left channel provides audio one remote click before the right (via NDX2 so one fine adjustment). The volume level would be described as barely audible, and itās never a problem as a few more clicks are required to have a usable audio volume (even whisper quiet for 4AM TV watching).
Above this first step, and at any ānormalā listening level, there is no imbalance noticeable.
I did the same. How long have you had yours? Mine is 5 weeks in and still improving
Wow, still improving after 5 weeks! Mine is just over a week old and already sounding great. Looking forward to the next few weeks.
Itās getting more effortless and more coherent if that makes sense. It also is more dynamic at lower volumes.
My guess is itās the NPX300 running in.
Iām half way through week 4 and thereās been a noticeable improvement over the weekend. Weirdly enough, Iād written down effortless and more coherent too, before I saw your post!
My 300 was running from day 1 though.
I am also hearing similar but mine is all new - 333, 332/300,350. I have just added the 300 to the 332 2 days ago so mine is certainly just starting its journey.
I had the 300 from the start as well and it really kicked in around 4 weeks as wellš¤·
The NPX manual says it can improve over a month or longer
You RTFM? Iām impressed!
I canāt keep up with who has what, Iām afraid. Too many people and too many combinations.
Yes they can.
But the acid test is when the new system is in your room.
