Silly question from Naim Newbie re: recording
Posted by: mfidelity on 24 November 2003
How do I get a tape output signal from my 112 to my CD recorder (RCA inputs)?
I'm pleased as can be with my 112/150/FC2/CD5 system. Sources are LP12 and Phillips SACD1000. Speakers are Thiel CS2.3
I "downgraded" from a much more powerful and expensive system that didn't give me near the listening involvement and pleasure I'm getting from this modest Naim system. Now I see what all the fuss is about.

Some of the sockets (eg. tape) will be in/out ones.
So, as woody says, you'll need a DIN to 4xRCA cable. Flashback in the UK are getting a good reputation: I've bought from him and the service is great, however I don't know if anybody's done any comparative listening tests.
Regarding recording to CD, I'm not sure what level of performance you'll get from a recording CD player since it goes D->A->A->D. Personally I do my CD copying on computer where it's all (D->D).

I record to CD via a spare output on my HiCap, partly becasue it just required a standard Din to 2x RCA which I happend to have lying around and partly because it saves reprogramming the record source when I switch sources.
In spite of the D->A->A->D conversion it sounds pretty good to me. I have played back recorded CD tracks against the original and there seems to be very little degradation in quality.
Vinyl recorded onto CD this way does'nt sound too shabby either.
