Really weird thing today with my Supernait 2. One channel has gone completely out. Worked fine yesterday, and no event has happened that would suggest any damage.
Am lucky enough to also have a 72/HC/140 system and was able to use these components to help isolate the SN2 problem. Here’s the analysis I’ve done so far. Wondering if there’s anything I missed?

Am lucky enough to also have a 72/HC/140 system and was able to use these components to help isolate the SN2 problem. Here’s the analysis I’ve done so far. Wondering if there’s anything I missed?
- Speakers - have tried with a different pre/power amp and the speakers and their cables seem fine, have ruled them out.
- Source - tried with different sources in different SN2 inputs with different cables… same issue, so have ruled out the sources.
- SN2 as Pre: Using the “bi-amp output” of the SN2, I plugged in my NAP140 and used it to power the loudspeakers. Same problem with missing channel.
- SN2 as Pre w/HC - Using the Hicap/Upgrade output of the SN2, I connected my SN2 to HC to NAP140 which powered the speakers. Same problem with missing channel - link plug has been ruled out.
- SN2 as Power: I connected my 72/HC to the “power amp in” socket and shut down the pre-amp section of the SN2. Here, I get both channels working fine! So that rules out the power amp section and speaker terminals on the SN2.
