Naim Supercap 2 DR Power Supply (2008)

British Audio specialists Naim have always paid particular attention to power supplies in audio equipment stating that they are a very important part of the signal chain and here we have a 2008 example of the SuperCap 2 power supply. It is in good condition noting a blemish on the front right corner and a few sticky marks on the rear of the unit. It has been upgraded by Naim to DR specification, and comes in Naim factory packaging, with mains cable and our standard three month warranty.
Naim Say….
The SuperCap 2 power supply is a fantastic addition to the Naim Hi-Fi range. The importance of power supplies has been close to the heart of Naim philosophy for over twenty years.
Although certain Naim amplifiers provide a very adequate power supply to the partnering pre-amplifier, the use of a separate Naim ultra-low noise power supply brings substantially improved musicality to the whole system. Simply being separate from the amplifiers ensures correct earthing and hum-free operation, while the large toroidal transformer and generous high quality smoothing capacitors provide exceptional dynamic stability.
Each of the multiple power outputs use specially selected regulators for optimum performance. The SuperCap can be used to power all of the Naim pre-amplifiers (except the NAC 552), phono stages and active crossovers and is the only choice for supplying power to the NAC 252 pre-amplifier.
The addition of anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet compliment the elegant new cast and extruded anti-magnetic chassis to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration
The audible benefits from adding a SuperCap are fundamental to the music: improving timing, dynamic range, clarity and order. Particularly complex music becomes both easier to understand and listen to. Inclusion of a SuperCap offers the additional benefit of allowing the pre-amplifier to be left switched on constantly, independently of the power amplifier, keeping the unit’s complex circuitry fully stabilised at all times.
