Naim Superline
The SuperLine is a high performance moving-coil phono stage built in the Naim Audio aluminium reference enclosure with an anodised front panel. It brings all Naim Audio'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.
RCA and BNC inputs
Moving coil only, with cartridge impedance matching adjustment (20 different load combinations possible)
Suspension system for delicate electronics as used in 500 Series
24V supply voltage from Naim Audio preamplifier (except NAC-N 172 XS), FlatCap XS, HiCap or SuperCap required)
Bead-blasted, black anodised front panel
DESCRIPTION
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 - used here for the first time on a phono amplifier.
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
