Another simple question regarding a Stageline N.

Posted by: Massimo Bertola on 28 February 2018

Modern Stagelines have two rear sockets, one 5 pin DIN 240° (to get 24V from and send the signal to the AUX2 of preamps or integrates), one 4 pin DIN 240 (to use with a 4-5 pin DIN IC to take the signal to a normal line input in a pre or integrated).

If I am using an external *cap, and the necessary 4-5 Interconnect, should I take the signal from the Stageline or from the *cap (Flat, Hi, Super)? My idea is from the *cap like in any other similar configuration, and that the 4 pin, 240° DIN out was put in case an iSupply was used, but I'd love to have a clear and sure indication.

Thanks,

Max

Both ways would work Max, but the Naim way is via the power supply so i'd go that route.

I have tried both a few times in the past and found it hard to see a difference but I prefer the HC connection to the preamp.

Thanks James, thanks Cat.

Correct. Connect to the preamp from the Hicap. The second socket was added to be powered from the I supply which doesn't have an output like the Hicap.
