Les Wolstenholme of Avondale Audio has devised a great upgrade
for Naim systems that use a pre-amp, power amp and power supply.
With this upgrade, the power supply is connected to the pre-amp using a
modified SNAIC 5 cable, wired for power only and the power amp is connected
to the pre-amp using a modified SNAIC 4, wired for audio only
It's important that both cables used for this upgrade are the modified type
and they can be found in this section |
These cables are used to join sources fitted with 3.5mm output sockets, such as
Walkman's, iPods and computers to a Naim amp fitted with a 5 pin DIN input socket

Please Note: - These cables are directional - they take the audio signal
FROM the 3.5mm Jack - TO the 5 pin DIN.

Quad equipment together, or Quad to Naim equipment, they are not compatible
with Quad equipment and damage can occur if so connected
Please see the 'Special' section for 4 - 4 pin DIN cables that can be used to join
Quad pre-amps to Naim power amps, and Naim pre-amps to Quad power amps
