Hi. I bought a used RCA to RCA hiline and was wondering which is the source end. So I emailed to Naim and they replied….
“We can confirm that this isn’t an official Naim cable, so we would be unable to tell you the direction of the cable as it’s not made by us.”
But I am pretty sure it is a hiline. Anyone can comment? And which side is the source end, black or white tag?
On a genuine Hiline, the light band goes at the source end.
White at the source end.
Naim did make RCA Hilines, are you sure Naim support have got this right?
It looks like an RCA-RCA Hi-line - white/cream/light grey band to the source end.
I think I have one somewhere, although maybe RCA Phono to DIN (I can’t recall). I’ll see if I can find it later on and check.
I’ve been looking online for genuine RCa hilines and they look remarkably similar.
On that basis, it looks genuine to me. Anyway, light band at the source end and away you go.
As others have said, white band at source end. I have two RCA to DIN, here’s a pic of one. Interesting to hear why Naim support are saying it isn’t genuine.
I quite like my RCA Hiline, it’s a good cable and I’ve seen it listed on Naim price lists albeit not recently. I suspect this information has fallen off Naim support staff’s radar.
Listed in the 2009 price list at least.
I realise now Naim support might have been saying that they never made a RCA to RCA HiLine?
The OPs photo seems to show a dark grey cable, not a black one??
Looks to me like an over-exposed photo, which is not surprising given the dark background.
The cable is black. Pardon my photo taking skills.
