Swap the speaker cables on the 200 - does it shift the other way?Could an off centre sound stage signify the need for a service? Any other symptoms?
does being powered up "wear out" the parts as quick as being used to play music?
That's a tricky question to answer
Perhaps what you should be asking is ...does switching the amp on and off several times a week wear it out quicker than leaving it switched on...
Could be at source, most likely preamp stage. If a power amp channel was the culprit it would probs give some evidence in distortion
After 15 years you definitely need a service. Got mine done at 11 and that was probably 3 years too late. Was genuinely taken aback at the transformation. I hadn’t realised how much top end detail had gone nor how much sound stage and instrumental clarity.
I couldn’t put my finger on it but it boiled down to far less “wow” moments. As it happened there were multiple things wrong with the boxes and cables but the 200 was the big one.

Its tricky: I've changed speakers and moved house 3 times... Wow factor has gone but I always put it down to other factors. I will get it serviced.
Hi,

If you are getting it serviced send it to Darran at Class A, excellent service, Naim authorised, and will have your 200 picked up and returned fully insured.
I would deal with Darran long before I went near Naim.
