FlatCap2 + Stageline N connection

In your set-up I would use POWER OUT A (SNAIC5) between Stageline and FC2 and then SIGNAL OUT A to take signal from the FC2 to the Supernait via a 4-5 interconnect.

thanks a lot , Richard

Out of interest where in the Supernait does the 4-5 interconnect connect into? 

ı think av in/out

It can connect to whichever DIN line input that's free.

Hope you enjoy it��

Now...I have been having an issue with this for a while now and I'm not sure why!

I've connected the Stageline/Flatcap/Supernait as per Richard's instructions above but I'm still not able to hear anything. The Stageline powers up but no sound is outputted. If I connect the Stageline directly to the Supernait therefore bypassing the Flatcap then I can listen to music. 

The Flatcap has recently been looked at by my local dealer for a fault but none was found and the turntable has recently been serviced as well with a new Dynavector  DV-10X5 cartridge fitted.

Am I missing something simple? ��

Mr B, Assuming your 4-5 interconnect works correctly, what it is being plugged into at the non SN end?

C.

*what is it being*

Is it a genuine Naim SNAIC 5 on the Flatcap2?

Yes Richard it is a genuine SNAIC 5 on the Flatcap. I've been trying to post a photo to make it easier to see but seem unable to work out how to do it!

It's connected as your instructions posted on the 24/7/17. 

Christopher M - the 4-5 interconnect its plugged into the back of the Stageline 5 pin connector and the other end to the Power Out A on the Flatcap. The SNAIC 5 is going from the Signal A on the back of the Flatcap to the Tuner DIN connector.

I'll persevere in attempting to post a photo.

Finally 

^^ That looks right to me. Maybe a few more pairs of eyes on it will confirm....

Yep. That's it 

Is it the same issue if you use Flatcap Power OUT B and Signal OUT B?

At least its connected correctly.

Yes Richard the same issue is present using Power B/Signal B as well. Both the light indicators on the Flatcap and the Stageline light up so power is getting the to Stageline but no sound. 

Could it be the SNAIC?

I hate to through another arrangement in especially one naim don't really like but I run 4-5 din interconnect from stage line to nait, and tonearm earth to nait earth post. This sounded best to my ears. You could use this as a test for the din interconnect if you don't have a meter to check continuity.

apologies to Richard is this isn't quite as recommended but it is 'safe'.

I don't think so because you've already said Snaic5 from powered Aux2 on the back of the SN to the Stageline works....

Apologies Chris I meant to say the 4-5 interconnect. 

No worries. I'd try Nitrous' method, though I'd leave the tonearm earth on the back of the Stageline as you have it.

Just want to check the obvious - when you have the flat cap in the loop and you are plugged into the SN tuner input (via the DIN 4-5 cable), you are selecting tuner when you want to listen to vinyl ?

Hi James, yes I'm selecting Tuner on the Supernait.

It's OK Nitrous, Naim give you the option to do this on later Stagelines - mainly to accommodate the i-supply, but can be used this way with the Flatcap etc..  

Hmmm -  If the Stageline works with the AUX2 output using the SNAIC5 then both the Stageline and SNAIC5 are ok. If the FC has been checked out and it does the same on both sets of outputs then i doubt it is this. The DIN 4-5  cable could be the issue. Have you tried other inputs - i.e. CD input and get the same result just to rule out the DIN inputs on the SN ?

Are the DINs selected on the SN and not the RCAs?
