Nac a5 speakers connection

Posted by: Naimark on 25 April 2016

Hello everyone,

in case of biwiring speakers, where do you prefer connecting nac a5, on treble or bass jack?

My power amp is nap 250.2.

Regards,

mark

This is one to try yourself, as views vary. What you should really do is get F connections soldered on - two sets of pins at the speaker end. If you search the forum you will find pictures.

Until you get the F connection soldered up, it's also worth trying them in X configuration...  One banana into the HF socket and one into the LF socket.

Just don't let your minions hear them being called banana plugs!

I've tried it all ways,  you kid yourself some way is better than others, but it probably isn't.  I've ended up with the neatest way it hangs  (stop sniggering that boy)   

HH suggestion for "F" connections is the best ..... dumping the metal links is a good improvement  ..... this is my F connections  (but its not A5 as you can see)

So that F configuration is the best? And would il be possible to get it with nac a5? If so..how?

Just remove some insulation and solder on the pins. You need to use Naim plugs for this, without the plastic case.

I use NACA5 F connectors... Simply solder the NACA5 to the first Naim speaker plugs by removing the insulation about 2 or 3 inches from the end of theNACA5, and then solder the ends of the NACA5 to the next Naim speaker plugs in a 'F' type shape, where the vertical part of the 'F' is the NACA5 and the horizontal is the plugs.

A picture paints a thousand words 

 

But to answer your question about how to get F connection  .............  its a do it yourself solder job,  or get your dealer or specialist electrical service shop to make it.

Most of us tend to connect the main cable to the bass connector (the lower one). I've tried both ways and prefer the bass connector.
