supercap 2

Posted by: Aceone on 20 October 2017

Hi I was just wondering what the difference will be when I have had the supercap 2 serviced will I get a bit more bass

Doubtful - I take it that you are lacking bass at the moment. What are the speakers (whole system overview would be good) and have you tried experimenting with placement ?

You might get a tighter grip on it, are you getting DRs too?

Just been to class a today to get supercap serviced by darren what a top guy ,got it back home and it sounds great already.

Glad the serviced Supercap is doing the business. It should get even better over the next few days as the new components run in. Maybe give your system a couple of weeks and then re-assess whether you need more bass ?

Hi james ,I moved the speakers two  inches closer to the wall and it made a big difference thanks.

Thanks james what's your system if you don't mind me asking.

Going to buy 252 in the new year so hopefully it will sound awesome .

252 will just sound great.

I'm afraid i strayed from the path a few years ago and now have a Melco N1a into a Devialet 220 Pro and Shahinian Compass speakers. 

Be careful with the 252. Some really like it and some don't so i'd caution against buying one without auditioning. It's a great pre-amp, don't get me wrong, but it's one you really need to hear against a 282 in your own room and system when you want to move up from the 202.

Aha -the old debate.  Have to say though as a 282 owner I’d take a 252.  

Posted on: 21 October 2017 by Aceone

Yeah I think it will be 252 then that's the end of the road for me , I would have to spend silly money to better  my system.

Well, I entered the world of Naim Three years ago. 

All pre-loved gear.

2008/282-2014/HCDR-2012/250.2- 2014/200

Passive Bi Amped Briks

Upgraded to 2 Stack 7 Tier Fraimlite

Upgraded to Passive Tri-Amped Briks

{250.2 x 3} sold the unregulated Nap 200

Surprisingly, the Fraimlite was equivalent to the Black Box upgrades!

NEXT UPGRADE~SC/Snaxo 362.

No experience with Naim Gear, and in the States, we don't have Tom Toms, Signals, etc...

Besides the help of the Forum, An convincing argument and Naim's 2007 Debut of its Reference CDP SOLD ME on the 282.

"But if I must, the gentleman, that sold me on the 282, his argument went (something) like:
 
I've had it all, waist of time, and hard cold cash. If, I had to do it all over again, I'd grab the first 282 that came along & hitch it to a SC, then wait for a sweetheart of a deal on a 552.
 
Now that 282, she won't resolve everything, but the difference would be so subtle, 99% of the Audiophiles in your State, couldn't tell the difference!"
Well, it went something like that! LOL.....

2007 CES Naim Debut:
CD 555>282>Snaxo 362s>SC>Dibbles!
 
Need I say more.
 
Enjoy Your Music!
