FWIW my RNHP has no "whine" from any of the inputs using the power supply provided by Neve (which was designed by Neve specifically for this Amp). Rupert Neve is not going to sell a product that hums. Maybe a problem with the main power supplies of other users. A truly marvelous Amp.

From the Neve product website "Use with supplied power adapter, as this has been carefully selected for best output power and noise performance."

RNHP owners, is there any reason for me not to leave the amp on 24/7? I leave my DAC on all the time and it'd sure be convenient if I could day the same with the amp!

I have left mine on all of the time over the past year with no issues

My two cents,

Depends how sensitive your ears are to high frequency noise but no, it's all personal & subjective.

That's the only personal reason I changed it though I appreciate the extra power in amperage.

Only your power bill.

Any of u guys had any experience with Gilmore Lite MkII? I've owned my RNHP for 3 months now, really happy with it. But hearing Gilmore Lite MkII at CanJam makes me a bit curious how these two would compare. Plus its a $500 amp too, same MSRP as RNHP.

Just got this amp,working great,love it. But; I noticed that when I shutdown the amp with headphones connected,I hear a one or two second squeal or whine noise through my headphones. Everything else is perfect. No noise when using the amp, sounds great. Just hear this when I turn off the amp. Just wondering if anyone else has this. Thanks

The amp will make some noise on shutdown and I think also on powering up.
I believe the official recommendation from Rupert Neve is to disconnect your headphones before shut off and don’t reconnect them until after power up.
Or you can leave the amp on all of time as I do.

Anyone use this with a vinyl TT? I’m running a projekt RPM with Ortofon 2M Blue into a Rega Phono MM stage into the RNHP and out to Focal Clears and there isn’t the dead silent black background compared to using Dacs. Significant buzz noise on vinyls after the 50% mark.

Sounds like a bad ground on the TT.

Hi

This whine is similar to what some amplifies make through speakers at power off. I was concerned and spoke to Neve and they said unplug and plug in with volume down all when the unit is ON.......

This amp is phenomenal with my Grado RS2e.

Waking up an old thread...

Have anyone tried pairing the RNHP with an LCD2.2?
I am getting an LCD2.2 and was wondering if RNHP will be too bright when fed through Chord Mojo.
I am very sensitive to sibilance and can't stand bright sounds.

I've been running a recently acquired RNHP for a few days (not with an LCD) and the only thing I find too bright are the front panel indicators.

No over-emphasis on natural sibilance at all. Top to bottom balance, timbre & texture, nice dynamic flow. My normal desktop resident for dynamic cans is a Woo WA6+.

Thanks for the clarification. I think I can live with the bright LEDs

I am thinking of buying through Amazon. Their no hassle return policy is very buyer friendly, just in case.

It's great knowing peace of mind with the Amazon returns policy... personally from experience I don't think you will regret getting the RNHP which I think is a very underrated amp.

Always can buy led black out cover dot tape or half transparent led cover tape for those LEDS if they do distract/ annoy.
