A question regarding the Stageline.

Posted by: Massimo Bertola on 23 December 2015

If I were powering a Stageline with a *cap, using a Snaic5, should I take the signal - with a 4-pin, 270° to 5-pin, 180° slic/Snaic - from the *cap or from the Stageline's own 4-pin output socket?

Thanks,

Max

Hi Max,

You would run the 4-5 Snaic from the 'cap to your preamp. Good luck!

That's effectively what I found to be best - but I think the 4 to 5 pin din should be referred to as an interconnect lead rather than a SNAIC

Joe, Chris,

thanks. It's what I suspected, but I was also wondering about why the 4-pin output too on the Stageline.

I believe that Naim added the second DIN plug on the Stageline so that it can be powered from an iSupply. Now that the iSupply's been discontinued, I'm not really sure why the second plug is still there on new Stagelines!

I have an iSupply that's been moldering in my credenza for a few years now -- haven't quite figured out what to do with it. (Maybe it'll come in handy if I ever get a Headline.) I run my Stageline from a Hicap.
