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 power outputs use specially selected regulators
for optimum performance. The Hi-Cap can be used to power all of
the Naim phono stages, active crossovers and pre-amplifiers except
the NAC 552 and NAC 252; in the case of the NAC 282 pre-amplifier
a second Hi-Cap may be used, bringing further improvements.
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 Hi-Cap 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 Hi-Cap 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.
- Ultra-low noise pre-amplifier and electronic crossover power
supply.
- Huge toroidal transformer and smoothing capacitors provide
exceptional dynamic stability.
The new Naim Hi-Cap sets free the musicality and dynamic
range of a hi-fi system, making an incredibly effective upgrade
to a pre-amplifier, power amplifier combination.
