To avoid lots of clicks and thumps through your speakers, Naim recommend the following power on and power off sequence:

**Power ON:**

Power supplies/Pre Amp  
Power Amp

**Power OFF:**  
Power Amp

Note that the power amp may emit a thump at switch on or switch off but any additional thumps and clicks will be minimised by following the above procedure
