This doesn't have anything to do with NLS players but I've experienced a
similar phenomenon.
I had an advanced receiver research uhf preamp taken out by either nearby
lightning or just a static charge in the air. The up side to this was it
was under warrantee and repaired free. The down side was the insolent
occurred les than 24 hours after the pre-amp was mounted near the feed point
of my antennas on my mast. That was frustrating to say the least.
