Give it a few beers, that aways works for me
10mm looks like it would do it.
And a few beers
That actually makes a difference.
The cables should run close together but not touching each other.
There are several ways to do that.
Here is how I did it :
This is the 552DR, not the 252. Both are very sensible to cable dressing.
Are those speaker cables an April Fool? Youāll be telling us they sound better than if they were straight next.
It looks quite impressive with that foam-thing in between
Aaaaah - a clever optical illusion!
Very fine choice that is
@Thomas I have been told by 2 of the UKās leading Naim dealers to make sure the cables touch at some point on the 552. I have bought 2 so had the chat twice. First dealer said wind the Snaic loosely around the Burndy and second said run super close but make sure they touch at some point. I managed to get them to separate as I wondered if this was really correct after being told the first time. The sound changes to a more HiFi sound with them not touching. I went back to touching as I did not like the result.
Thatās interesting, I didnāt know that. I have arranged the cables according to the information gathered on the forum.
I guess I would have had to adapt my little DIY.
But I donāt have to worry about that anymore.
My new system is much simpler. And probably less sensitive to these things.
I went from 7 boxes to 3 boxes!
I could even have had only 2 boxes. The fact that I use Roon led me to buy the Taiko Extreme.
@Thomas weirdly I believe its only relevant for the 252 & 552. They are the only Preās in Classic that use both a Burndy and Snaic though.
Your new system looks very interesting. I await your full reports when everything is done!
Hi Steve, itās the same for a 282 when used with dual SNAICs and a Supercap. In all cases, both cables are carrying signal ground between the PS and Pre. To minimise induced noise (as youāve effectively got a ground loop) you need to minimise the loop area and achieve this by running both cables close together. No need for them to touch.
@james_n I found the Snaic to be longer than the Burndy so short of using the solution @Thomas chose maybe when I tested it separated it was too far apartā¦ it certainly went HiFi and less enjoyable to my ears. Thanks for clarifying why thats the case, its always good to refresh on these things.
Maybe a special edition for yesterday?
I suggest you close the curtains before you massage your burndy. The neighbours might think you lost itā¦
So the 760 can also stream?
Not here, you have to buy a streaming module as an option. The Taiko server will stream.
Ah, I see. So the module does not support Roon I assume. The Taiko looks like a superb solution to this! Looking forward to finding out what @Thomas makes of it
There is no module to add.
The Soulution 760 can stream from UPnP servers out of the box.
Unfortunately it does not include the RAAT protocol.
