Thats quite normal, Chord don't fit pins where they are not in use.

 

[erchie84]

Thanks guys

Yes. Only 3 are used. Chord do this due to the possibility of resonance in the redundant pins I believe.

Yes they do my cobra RCA to din has all 5 pins. Weird when only 3 are used Left,Right and 1 return. Maybe I should dispose of them. Should I?

Bingo kick ass cable.

Seconded. Got one between my CD5XS and NAC202. Also the three pin configuration was only used in Anthem, Indigo and Sarum I believe.

Bit of a surprise when you open the box and see your Anthem (in my case) has a pin or two missing ! I have had three pin DINs on Anthem DIN>DIN and on a "4pin" DIN>RCA - looks strange but works well.

So a bit of a step up from the chord signature I'm using?

Massive difference. Are you using Sig interconnects? IIRC they could not be terminated with dins so that actually counts further against the Signature in a Naim system as you either use din adapters or the newer Naim kit has switchable RCA sockets. Din will always sound far superior between two Naim components though.

Ya I just tried to remove the pins on mine and they seem do be fused in place. Ah well no biggie. $1800 is scary cable for a 5/202, no? Hiline land.

Hey lando yep there RCA which is fine on the 202 and an adapter on the cd end

Great deal. I love Chord cable. Even the chrysalis was great cheap cable that worked great with Naim. The cobra walks it tho. I can just imagine the gain in timing the indigo has to offer.

 

[hifinutt]

i have had quite a few indigo cables. very revealing , in some systems it seemed very bright but its great to experiment. don`t overpay for the standard one as the plus version has devalued it
