Hi all
I have now changed my vinyl replay system,it nows consists of -Michell gyrodec,with QC power supply,roksan tabriz tonearm and audio-technica ART 1 moving coil cartridge,through to leema elements phono stage.My amps are,nac 82pots 8,nap 180 and 2 hi-caps,with passive linn kabers ( just upgraded the bass/midrange units to the excellent Seas M15CH002).My question is (after speaking to lee taylor of leema acoustics) he confirmed that one of my hi-caps powering the phonostage would greatly improve performance of my turntable,but would it lower performance with single hi-cap powering my 82 pre-amp?

I once tried a second Hicap on an 82, and found it made very little difference - in fact it was a bit of a waste of time. I wasn't aware that a Hicap could drive a Leema phono stage - have you checked with Naim as well? If it can, and safely, then why not just try it?
One other thought - you really need a 250 for those Kabers - the 180 is not powerful enough to take complete control and kick them into life.

Hi Richard,Yes...Leema are very intrigued,after I informed them I fried a firestone audio korora phonostage,which was 24 volt dc,but only 500ma current.And please correct me if I am wrong current delivery from a hi-cap is rated at 3 amps,leema confirmed the elements phono would be fine,and lee taylor even asked me to ring him back with any noticeable improvements (if any) what are your thoughts on this?
