Naim cb version not support hi-line

[rbuyer1980]

Is naim cb old version of pre amp may not support to use hi-line?

 

[prowla]

The Hi-Line has a DIN connector, so (AFAIK) it should be fine.

But I cannot plug in the old cb pre amp

Are you trying to plug a 5 pin into a 4 pin socket, or vice versa?

 

[YNWOAN]

Are you sure the pin configuration is correct?

Oh, I was too slow - as above

 

[prowla]

The Hi-Line is to connect a source (ie. a CD player) to one of the inputs to the pre-amp.

 

[Gaius]

The Hi Line is an interconnect, 5pin din/5pin din for say connecting CDP to Pre.

If you are trying to connect Power amp to Pre you need a 4pin din/ 4 pin din SNAIC, not a Hi Line.

I have a Power Line on my 160 which is groovy but differnt altoghter being a mains cable.


Edit: There Prowla said it too.

OF course I am trying to plug in 5 pin din. However it is very difficult to fit in the old style female plug. Anyone tried to plug in successfully?

 

[Gaius]

Do be carefull, those Hi lines are very easy to break at the din end, all that wobble!

No locking rings on a Hi-line. It will fit into the earlier Deltron DIN5s no problem, although you may need to push a little harder than normal (Warning - make sure you have the pins lined up exactly before you push harder, otherwise you can damage the plug &/or socket) because the little ridge on top of the airplug can sometimes make for a very snug fit on the Deltron sockets.

NB. when you insert a normal DIN, you do it with the plug rotated about 1/8 turn counterclockwise, but with the Hi-Line the logo is to the top.

The hiline will only go into the deltron sockets about half way and its very tight at that.
