Improvements to SNAXO?

Posted by: Gavin L on 20 January 2018

I am currently running a 362 into DBLs and as such don’t benefit from the “floaty” technology of the later BMR version.

Has anyone had any was to judge the benefit of the additional isolation?

I have my 362 on Fraim, away from the power supplies, but I wonder if some form of isolation pads might make a difference? It would make any impact on vibration coming along the cables (of which there are many).

A number of us campaigned for Naim to adapt the "floaty" SNAXO for us loyal legacy speaker users, but alas our requests ultimately fell on stony ground, even though the potential market for these was somewhat greater than for the Ovators. Darke Bear went to a floaty job when he got his Ovator 800s, and maybe, IIRC, one for his original 600s. He reported a worthwhile increase in sound quality.

The SNAXO's a sensitive device - if you can, place it with an empty shelf below. It also helps to leave the DIN locking rings loose (I removed all mine).
