Let us know if it makes a difference
Thanks for the tip !!!
Yep, it was at about 80% max volume for me too.
I’ve adjusted it to max now.
Despite my doubts about the Puritan 108 I let it sit for 2 weeks and finally came to the conclusion it was better in some important ways compared to the fezz. So I bought it. I also got the Lindemann Limetree Bridge II and a power cord for my NAP 250 DR, Neotech The Grand. A very worthwhile upgrade all in all.
Does new wiring to the house from a new electricity pole count lol? Shouldn’t make any difference to the sound but you know us audiophiles and our love of placebos.
Is it the PS108 with or without the DC blocker? Fezz Super 5 has one DC-blocked plug if I recall correctly. May I ask also the whereabouts of country/dealer/price?
My SN2 transformer has always been buzzing (I can just about notice it from my listening position with no music playing) and my HiCap DR seems to also be buzzing a tiny bit. Buzzing gets much worse when my OH is using the hairdryer, so definitely mains related. Currently on a Wireworld Matrix 2 with Powerlines all over, so no filtering or DC blocking.
So now that I have run out of things to buy , I am turning my attention to powerblocks. I am based in Belgium, so looking at Schuko solutions such as the Fezz, Puritan and Isol-8 Powerline. Puritan seems tricky to find nearby, so that’s why I am asking. And a second-hand Fezz might be tempting anyway .
Is that the same on the NDC 222? My max preamp volume (in the Naim app) is set to 85, under Audio Settings.
If you have this setting in your manual , then the same applies I believe
Maximum volume
I’ll check the manual again, but I have read it before and didn’t notice this. Not sure if the Mute button instructions are equivalent to the Naim app setting I noted.
If you have doubts on the apps , I think you do it manually on the mute button. Just press and hold… I don’t have a naim app. So I do it manually when I set up my 332
This is what you will see when u press hold the mute button… mine is set to
This is what Geo meant in his write out on the maximum volume
Yes, that just looks way too tempting for little fingers to prod!
My own kid is very careful, so unfortunately I hadn’t properly considered that others might not be. One lives, one learns.
What difference does it make setting it to 100?
I’m curious what is that?
I live in Sweden. The Fezz has DC-blocker in it as you say but I haven’t really noticed it making any difference for the humming of my trafos. However, it is a very good mains block and much better than the Matrix, in my system and to my ears.
