Hi All,
I am new to this forum and new to Naim Audio gear. I have picked up a Naim NAP-140 and NAC-62.
On the NAP-140 I checked and adjusted the Bias to the recommended 7.0 to 7.2 mV (it had been running way high, about 18mV). I then checked the DC offset and the left channel was 0.245mVDC and the right channel was 0.765mVDC, both I consider to be very high. So I thought it will be the tantalum capacitors leaking dc, so I have replaced the 10µF with 10µF WIMA Films and the 47µF with 47µF Elna Slmics. Retested the DC offset and found virtually no change in the off set.
My thoughts are now turning to the semiconductors, with the paired inputs to start with, but I am amazed that the changing of the capacitors made no difference, should I be looking at something else?
Any assistance on this would be appreciated.
Tony
