Stageline on 202 or Flatcap?

Posted by: solid state on 06 February 2004

Just a quickie chaps - does this forum feel I would be better off powering my stageline from the dedicated stageline power/signal supply on my 202 , or would there be any advantage in using my existing flatcap 2 (which is already powering the pre) to power the stageline via its 2nd output seperatly ?

Any advice welcome

Regards .

I suspect that the Stageline would be best powered from the Flatcap2. I think this because the Stageline would represent an additional drain on the pre-amp power supply and so may degrade its performance on all sources especially vinyl. Even if the current draw is low when CD or Tuner are used there may still be a small effect.

How are you powering the 202 now? I think Naim would tell you that a 200, for example, probably supplies about the same quality power as the FC2.

Currently im using a flatcap2 - but from this week , (depending on delivery) ill be using a brand spanking new Hicap - ive seen the light and taken the plunge !
