I asked my dealer “what are you doing with the Solstice phono stage that you took off me as trade in against S/L - S/C?” His reply was “nothing unless another one is faulty as we can only potentially use it as a replacement because it can’t be powered by the other Naim P/S’s”. Maybe you know different.
8 pin is not Naim’s standard. Nothing else (so far…), uses such an interface.
The DIN interfaces Naim uses are (AFAIK…) -
- 4 pin 72 deg - Pre amp outputs and Power amp inputs
- 5 pin 180 deg - Pre amp signal inputs and outputs (Tape, etc)
- 5 pin 240 deg - HiCap and similar PS inputs and outputs
Even if a specific cable on order is realised ?
Yes
Ah, yes, my mistake. In looking into this more, it also looks like the NVC-TT gets +18v and -18v from the the NPX-TT while the other NAIM power supplies put out +24v. I had hoped that if/when NAIM begin selling the Solstice components individually, I could update my Stageline with one but it looks like I’ll have to go with a Linto!
Sacré bleu!!! Is this what we have to look forward to in the future???
Naim have ‘previous’, in releasing new configurations, which were not obvious in their ultimate intent…
The HDX?
No, the HiCap. When it first appeared, it had a 5 pin 240 deg socket - which did … nothing. Because the 32-5 and 42-5 had not yet come out…
NVC-TT is quite good and not merely something thrown in to make the package complete. As it beds-in it only gets better. I bounce back and forth between my 2 phono preamps and there’s lots to admire. You can hear the DR tech at work, it has great detail and PRAT. I would not feel short-changed if the NVC-TT was my only phono preamp.
Are you still preferring the NVC-TT over the SL/SC-DR
I would say there’s real synergy between the Equinox and NVC-TT. The sound is intoxicating and very involving. Oh, I am using the supplied lavender interconnect which I’m preferring over my Chord Music IC (which normally lives on my ND555) Has hell froze over?
-Back to spinning records.
Agree 100%
The NVC-TT sound better (imho) compare to my SL, with the Equinox
I’ve already reported this a long time ago…
With a supercap?
No, with the 552PS
