Connecting a CD 5 & HiCap...

Posted by: Tim Danaher on 21 January 2003

...how's it done? There's no mention of it in Naim's connections manual.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Tim

SNAIC going in the CD5 output next to the one going to the pre-amp (second from the right, seen from el rear), with the marked end of the SNAIC towards the CD5.

The SNAIC goes in the right hand input of the Hi-Cap (seen from the butt end).

Tell us what you're hearing when you're done.

Thanks, Geoff and Herm!

Will let you know how it compares to the current FlatCap2...

Hi Tim

Please do let us know how you get on compared to the flatcap 2, I currently have the flatcap and was wondering what to upgrade, next time I get the funds.
The flatcap or add another nap150 to bi-amp.

And The Results Are...

...really rather good. Didn't think it would make much difference. Sound fills out a bit, is smoother, better bass weight and the midband is more 'filled in' -- noticeable on male vocals & piano. Nnnnice. The FlatCap2 sounds a little 'reedy' by comparison.

Kev -- can't say how it would compare to bi-amping with an extra 150, but a S/H HiCap (chrome bumper, of course

) would be a bargain in comparison.

Cheers,

Tim

Tim,

If you're getting good results after a day, just wait until it's warmed up properly. I think you might be surprised again....... hope so anyway.
