SuperCap/SuperLine Questions

Posted by: Sten on 13 July 2016

Mornin' all,

A couple of weeks ago I invested in a SuperLine E currently powered by the 282. I haven't fully tested all the load plug combinations but have settled for 500/1nF for the moment (cart is the EMT JSD6). Compared to the StageLine it is a huge improvement and I look forward to finding the perfect load combo over the coming weeks. 

I picked up a SuperCap 2 DR (2014) pre-loved for what I hope is a pretty good price (45% off new) and I will collect this Saturday morning - very excited about that!

some questions

As ever your insights are welcome and appreciated

Naim supplied me with a Z plug just over a year ago, at least on the second time of asking, the first one turned out not to have Z foil resistors when we checked but it came back with them after we'd sent it off for a change in value.

That's great. So all Airplug supplied from NAUK have Z plug now? or you have to specify?

How did you find out if the first one did not have Z foil resistors?

I ordered a 120 Ohm Z plug through my Naim dealer (Simon) to use with the Proteus after trying a few combinations but later decided 100 Ohms was better. Simon suggested the value of my airplug could be changed and opened it up, there were 2 blue cylindrical resistors in it, Simon didn't comment at the time but sent it back to Naim for 100 Ohm exchange and it returned with Z foils in place. I wasn't charged for the value change as I'd ordered a Z plug in the first place. Whether Naim offer both and sent the wrong one or it was a mistake and Z foil is what you should get by default in an airplug now I don't know.

Picked up the SuperCap and the Burndy - all good the superLine connects to the SuperCap via burndy! 

But I assume I will need a din 4 to din 5 to connect the SuperCap to the 282 - have I understood that correctly or do I connect the Superfine to the 282?

Sorry but got myself a bit confused

Thanks

It's amazing what can be achieved by looking in the manual.

SuperCap can only be used with one component - either 282 or SuperLine in your setup

Fair enough! All clear - thanks!
