Naim HiCap Power Supply (1985)

The HiCap is one of Naims’ products that has passed into the realms of a real “Classic”. The British electronic experts first introduced it in 1984 and it has been steadily improved over the years. It has also followed the traditional path of being first available with the “Chrome Bumper” finish (as here – although it has been painted black), then “Olive” and now of course “Classic”. Our example is quite an early unit dating from 1985. It is in good condition and full working order, after the fascia, main capacitors and power light have all been replaced. It is supplied in original factory packaging and comes with SNAIC cable, mains cable plus of course our regular three month warranty.
Naim Say….
An adequate and correctly designed power supply is extremely important for the performance of the preamplifier. Use of a remote supply allows correct earthing to be used and also ensures hum-free operation. The 90 and 140 power amplifiers have suitable regulated supplies for the pre¬ amplifier built into them, but optional use of the HiCap power supply will bring improved performance to the whole system.
The HiCap is a dedicated dual 24V supply designed for use with the 62 and 72 preamplifiers or the NAXO electronic crossovers for use in active systems. It powers a single piece of equipment at a time. This large very quiet dual supply will allow the preamplifier to reach its fullest potential. When using the 135 or 250 power amplifiers the HiCap power supply is a standard requirement within the system.
