For the past one hour I'm desperately struggling to connect the NacA5 to the supplied twin plugs that I got with my Nait 5i...Its damn difficult !
Any tips will be very welcome
I can put the cable somehow and even close the plugs but I'm afraid that the connection is loose and that the wires might get in contact inside which would be very dangerous
As I'm desperate already I wonder do they really make a difference in sonic terms ?
Your Naim dealer should have made up the connections for you. It's a job that takes some practice. Here's a description for how to do it off the Naim forum:
As you can see from the description, soldering is the only way to ensure a good stable connection.
Naim plugs are definitely my preferred solution on Naim amps. other plugs are OK I guess but the Naim ones are very sturdy indeed and couple to the amplifier very well.
Well, if you can find some of the thicker RS Components tin/lead solder it'll make life a bit easier than the unleaded version, simply because the leaded version has a lower melting point.
However, if you can't then use the tin/silver combination and put up with the flux...
