I can’t find information about this anywhere, I think you need a din-xlr cable for supercap.
Has anyone tried it?
This should answer your query, at least about the cables needed (obviously your Naim dealer can assist).
You should be able to but would you?
So is it possible with the right cables?
Yes of course. There are a whole set of cables put together by Naim to allow flexibility between what is now “old” classic and “new” classic. This allows a mix and match approach or a transition from old to new.
That’s great. Then this is also a possible step
When I first purchased the NC250 I used it with the 252DR. It was a fantastic match. The 350’s will be even better.
You just need a pair of 4pin DIN to Balanced XLR. You can get one from Naim or Desingnacable.
I wonder how just a cable (without conversion circuitry) can connect an unbalanced preamp with a balanced amp?
Why wouldn’t you? Classic pre and New Classic power work very well together.
252 is a very capable amp. I’d be very suprised if doesn’t shine with the 350’s. A winning combo of elegance and power I expect.
Makes me curious how the new Nac 332 compare, looks like quite another solution with on-board PSU.
The 252 will be holding back the 350s. The NC is a different sound and you’d be losing some of that magic with the 252. 222 with PS or 332 would be a better match.
Just in case you missed it, you can find it on the TomTom website - with all the articles on the NC gear. I’m not sure why the “official” release is delayed.
That was my point - or question.
(I have read the TT version, previously.)
Guess it got hit into the long grass and now no one remembers where it went…
I assume that Chord would be able to supply the cable needed.
252 is the best sounding pre i have ever owned, just needs setting up right. it amazes me on a daily basis, with a tricky speaker…big focals etc i bet its a brilliant combo
My NC250 sounds pretty awesome fronted by a 282, and whilst i have heard the same power amp fronted by both a 222 and 332, I’m certainly not concerned about ‘system synergy’ between Classic and New Classic.
Only worthwhile upgrade for me would be a 332 with maybe a 300 attached.
