Naim have been a commercial success for a long time, their
build quality and attention to detail is simply quite
extraordinary. They still support/service/repair everything
they have ever made and loyalty amongst existing owners is
just remarkable. Part of the appeal is the simple but
aesthetically pleasing style and stunning built quality,
but a large part is the ownership experience coupled with a
unique and compelling sound: dynamic, controlled, excellent
seperation and very involving.
SuperLine
Reference phono amplifier
Vinyl
replay makes a huge contribution to the enjoyment of
recorded music. At its best, vinyl has a uniquely engaging
and musical quality, and with the launch of the SuperLine
phono amplifier, the best of vinyl has just got better.
The
SuperLine is a very high performance moving-coil phono
amplifier built in the Naim signature extruded and brushed
aluminium reference enclosure. It brings all Naim’s latest
analogue electronic design and environmental isolation
techniques to bear on the most delicate analogue element of
any hi-fi system – the moving-coil phono signal.
The
heart of the SuperLine is a new, two stage single-ended
Class A discrete amplifier with part-passive RIAA filtering
that runs off 25 internally regulated power supplies and
features the transistor “quiet room” thermal isolation
technique originally developed for the NAP 500 power
amplifier. Environmental isolation is also ensured by the
SuperLine’s massive sub-chassis and high-Q spring
suspension system – the first time on a phono amplifier.
The
SuperLine requires an external power supply – either from
the power supply output of a Naim preamplifier or the
SUPERNAIT integrated amplifier, or, for optimum
performance, a dedicated FlatCap, HiCap or SuperCap.
Duplicate phono and BNC sockets provide input versatility,
and cartridge impedance matching adjustment is provided by
four resistive and three capacitive load plugs. In
combination with the SuperLine’s internal input load,
twenty different standard load combinations are possible.
SuperLine
brings out all that’s best in vinyl replay - timing, pitch
accuracy, clarity, detail, and the unmistakable warmth that
records can deliver in abundance.
Stageline
phono stage
£250
Available
as Moving Coil and Moving Magnet
The Stageline is a separate phono stage, available in
either moving coil or moving magnet versions, designed to
optimise sound quality from a wide range of cartridges.
The Stageline can be powered either from a special socket
on the rear of the NAIT 5 or by a separate supply such as
the Flat-Cap 2 for even better performance.
