Naim Nait 50 Anniversary

Now you too can enjoy the ongoing saga of "is it on or off?" with that bright power light, even on standby 😆

Fortunately it goes into a standby mode after about 20 minutes if it isn't in use.

Yes. It is not quite clear 🤔. Who, at Naim, came up with that one?

Will do tomorrow. Haven’t had time to really listen. We had a builder in due to a leaking shower.

....that bright power light, even on standby

Sounds like it goes between bright and very bright - meaning theres little noticeable difference.
All the more strange since as it's about the only thing they needed to get right on that simple front panel 🤔

The sound is the most important thing of course, but still, I'd have to sort that out.
Could be quite an easy job for someone to fit a higher value series resistor inline with the LED - to make it (much) less visible on standby.
That way it should be much easier to recognise it displaying 'on'.

White LEDs, like the new car headlights, great in theory 😎
