NAIM PSU SUPERCAP-2 POWER SUPPLY

The Naim SuperCap 2 is a high-performance outboard power supply designed to maximise the musical performance of compatible Naim components. Sitting at the top of Naim’s classic power-supply hierarchy of its era, it provides multiple independently regulated power outputs, giving sensitive audio circuitry a dedicated, exceptionally stable source of power.

The SuperCap 2 can be partnered with selected Naim preamplifiers and phono stages, including the NAC 252, NAC 282 and SuperLine, making it both a significant performance upgrade and an important part of the classic Naim upgrade path. Its substantial transformer, extensive regulation and separate chassis help isolate sensitive audio electronics from the electrical and mechanical interference associated with an internal mains supply.

In a suitably matched system, the SuperCap 2 is particularly valued for bringing greater refinement, detail, separation, dynamics and musical coherence, while retaining the engaging rhythmic character for which Naim equipment is renowned.

Reviews

The Absolute Sound was extremely impressed by the SuperCap 2 when partnered with Naim’s SuperLine reference phono stage. The review found that adding the SuperCap 2 transformed the SuperLine’s performance, elevating it from an already accomplished phono stage into a combination the reviewer considered among the finest available.

Owners on the Naim Audio Community have also reported excellent results from the SuperCap 2. In one detailed comparison, moving to the SuperCap 2 was praised for providing improved musical flow, greater refinement and more naturally revealed subtle detail; another SuperLine user highlighted its impressive sense of space, coherence and integrated bass performance.
