charlezz, yes the supercap works with a 102. The 5 pin output(the first connector next to the napsc plug)goes to the the lower of the two 5 pin din plugs on the supercap (the first one from the left as you look at the back of the supercap). I had a 102/supercap before going to an 82/super. No question, it upgrades the 102 significantly more than the hicap. If you are seriously planning on going the 52 route, then this is a good interim move. Otherwise, I`d go for an 82/hicap next. Do you have a separate power supply for your 102? regards, david.

Ok David, now i am sure i can go for a Supercap...
I found last week a used supercap (5 y.o) for 1200£ and it is very rare here in France....
I have got a cd3.5/Nac102/Hicap/Nap180.
The Supercap will go with the Nac102 and the hicap with the cd3.5 (Many say that cd3.5/Hicap is as good as the CDX)
My next upgrade will be what i will find first: used 52, 135's, cdx/xps or even cds2/xps.

charlezz, How much is 1200 francs in US dollars? Sounds like a good move if it is a good deal because as you said, you can move the hicap to the cd player. Enjoy. david.

Charlezz:
I used a 102 with a Supercap for about a year before moving on to a 52. The Supercap elevates the performance of the 102 significantly. You definitely will not be disappointed.
