Hi all
I'm using an A/V reciever to power the centre & rear channels of my home cinema & my 252/300 to power the front channels. The front pre-outs from the A/V amp are connected to the A/V input on the 252 via a cheapo phono / phono cable with a hard wired DIN adaptor. This is less than satisfactory as the adaptor is a bit loose in the DIN socket & can hum if disturbed slightly...So..
What I need is a (reasonably) good quality cable 7 metres long with 2 phonos at one end & 180 degree 5 pin DIN plug on the other.
My dealer suggested I try ditching the DIN adaptor, mapping the Aux2 phono inputs & using those. I tried this this morning & it works OK, but I lose the useful unity gain A/V throughput feature.
Does anyone have any recommendations please?
I couldn't see anything suitable on eb*y, so suspect it may be a bespoke job.

Try "flashback" cables. They do great service, at a good price, & understand Naim gear.
Matt.

Thanks Matt, looks just the job. Very reasonable prices.

I also use a long interconnect from my AV2 to my 252 since they are situated on opposite sides of the room. I use a cable that my dealer obtained from Naim - it is 8m long and had to be specially made and was fairly expensive (£100 I think). However I use a similar cable from the Chord Company to connect my DVD recorder to the 252 and this was £50. I definitely would ditch the phono-DIN adapter. From my experiments in the past even high quality ones have an absolutely catastrophic effect on the sound.

MT I have some Flashback leads and they are very very good.They offer a very good fast service.

Manicatel & Munch. Thank you both for your reccomendation. A BIG thumbs up for Flashback. I ordered the cable yesterday afternoon & it arrived this morning ! Excellent build & quality of materials. Night & day better than my previous spindly wire & DIN adaptor and now exactly the right length.

Regards

Another thumbs up for Flashback. Excellent service.

How does the sound quality to compare, for example if it is possible to use Naim cables for the same application ? thanks, M

My dealer got a 5m Chord cable to connect between Av receiver (Denon) and NZAC72. Seems to work OK, however I now need to get it modified due to a 282 arriving
