Having just posted how good a match my new NAD C270 power amp was to my C370 - I now find that my headphone socket no longer works!!!!!! (on the C370) Is this because the power amp is connected???? Is there a way round it??

The headphone output may well be taken from further up the chain and as your outputting from the pre section it may not work. Unplugging the amp from the power amp will prove this theory.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

i suspect this must be the case with all pre/power combos the power output is now from the C270.

After a quick read of the manual and it stating that they are both identical in gain and that I can connect to the pre out 2 and leave the pre out shunt in place - I'll try this tomorrow to see if that changes anything

Or on another track......If I bi-amped with one amp per speaker would that work or do I need to have 4 posts on my speakers??

What happens if you switch off the power amp. Do the headphones work then?

You only need 4 posts if you are driving the treble and bass separately, so 2 will do.
