Naim Superline Reference Phono Stage Pre-amplifier
Naim Superline Reference Phono Stage Pre-amplifier
The Naim Audio superline is a true reference product. If you are looking for the highest possible sound quality from your turntable source then it should be on your shortlist.
If you already have a Naim system the Superline can be powered from the Auxiliary power socket on your pre-amplifier. If not it will need a power supply such as a Hi0cap DR to get it up and running. The Superline has adjustable loading which is applied via two din sockets on the rear. The Superline comes with a set of plugs that cover the most common values, further ones can be ordered if you have a cartridge that requires different loading.
The circuit uses the now very familiar sprung sub-chassis mounting as found in the NAC552. This isolates the circuitry from vibration. Some components such as capacitors are susceptible to microphony. Inputs are available for both RCA and BNC connectors. The Superline can be upgrded by using a separate power supply..
The Superline makes a staggering difference if you are using an LP12 with a prefix or internal phono boards such as Naim 523. Even if you are using a pre-fix with a separate external power supply such as a hi-cap or even a supercap the Superline is in a totally different league. A must listen if you are a serious vinyl enthusiast.
