Before someone kindly suggests the connection guide - which I have looked at or a search which I have done!..
Please where do I connect the din plug to a flatcap xs? - this is already connected to a CD5X and ~naitXS
I already have the correct din to phono lead which I want to use rather than using a new phono lead from the amp. I’m not sure which socket to pop it into!
Thank you!
You would use one of the flatcap output sockets B or C.
Thank you!
There’s every chance that the pre out via the Flatcap is not optimal for use with a sub, especially with longer cables, unless you have a ‘slugged’ cable with a resistor on it for that purpose. In this case the dedicated RCA sub output on the amp may give better results. Maybe worth giving Naim a call and see what they recommend.
When I had a 122x, which is similar, I was advised that the sub out phono sockets were the best option. A slugged lead is still required.
Thanks.
What’s a ‘slugged lead’ what does it do and where do I get one!
Naim’s sub lead, available in 5m and 10m length, used low capacitance lavender/grey interconnect cable and was “slugged”. IIRC it had a 100R resistor fitted in the DIN plug. This enabled the pre-out in the power supply to drive such a long cable without instability.
Thank you and good morning
if its using the din off the flatcap are the 2 channels merged and the resistor squeezed in or are 2 phono leads - 1 to each channel better from the XS.
On a whim I’ve decided to move the TT wall shelf ,large wall mounted CD rack and now found out I didn’t paint behind the cd rack when I last redecorated…keeps me busy I guess!
It’s stereo, so two channels with a resistor on each.
I used to run a sub from a Hicap I bought a din to 1 RCA adapter and plugged a sub lead into that worked a treat I still have if I’ll dig it out later.
