Supernait 2 - Intermittant fault losing right channel

Hi-Fi Corner
1

I have a problem with my Supernait 2.

My right channel stopped working a while back. I kind of know the cause. I was re-connecting it to my Hi-Cap following a move and stupidly reconnected the link plug whilst it was still plugged in (I thought I had no live connection). At the time, there was a crackling from the speakers and then the right channel went down. An hour or so later, it came back.

The Supernait worked fine for a few weeks and then the right channel disappeared.

I brought it to my Naim dealer and explained the problem and left it with him. As I am not in the UK (am based in Europe) he said that many repairs were carried out locally. After a few days he contacted me to say there was no problem and the unit was working fine.

I collected it and indeed it was.

Then after a month or so, the problem reappeared. Occasionally, the channel comes back.

Anyone had a similar issue? I expect I will have to bring it back to the dealer and maybe suggest some form of test etc and thorough investigation (which might require it to be returned to Sailsbury)?

Perhaps @NeilS has some ideas here…

Probably a lazy relay

Or a dodgy link plug?

5

The link plug has been removed an a Hi Cap is now in the its place.

6

Poorly snaics?

Certainly sounds like a dodgy reed in the mute/output relay.

Thanks All…

@NeilS … does this require going back to Sailsbury or could a local repair work?

I would ask your Naim dealer about it. As the fault is intermittent, tell them that you have been advised that relay S403 requires replacement.

Regards
Neil.
