Nait 3 proximity to sockets...

Posted by: Smithfire on 02 February 2018

Hi peeps

As Im in the process of re fitting my racking I wondered if there is a way of shielding the Nait 3 from plugs/sockets electrical fields etc? Some have suggested sticking copper tape to the underside of the glass platter the Nait is sitting on (unfortunately there is an extension lead directly underneath this which cant be relocated) any thoughts suggestions?

Many thanks

i had to move the rega turntable a long away away from the naim boxes to minimise hum. Apparently some cartridges are prone to this- mine is a an elys

All my hifi components including plugs, sockets, cables etc are housed within a converted fireplace. The Rega deck is at the top, next down is a blu ray player and the Rega power supply (6 inches underneath the deck) underneath that is the cd player and then the Nait at the bottom.

 

I would get these two as far apart as the wire allows.

I used to have a Nait 3 and Plannar 3. I too got hum from the phono stage for a while. I solved the problem by siting the turntable as far from the Nait 3 as cables and the room would allow. If it is at all possible to place the turntable to one side of the Nait 3 (i.e. not directly above it) then do so.
