Superline

Posted by: Ivanhoe71 on 09 February 2018

I have a superline and Koetsu Red cartridge. Grateful for advise on which is  best/correct resitive/capacative combination? 

Also am using a Flatcap XS to power the superline. Again which is the best ports yo use? Will also be powering a cd5xs from same flatcap once I have the cables?

Try a search for koetsu and superline, there are loads of answers but Cymbiosis reckoned 100Ω in one of them, not sure which red it was. Probably the lower output one, 0.6mV is a little high for a standard superline and might be better with the E varient if that is your cartridge, I believe Naim can convert a standard one to E spec but I could be wrong. If you have the 0.4mV red there’s no need.

You can combine R plugs by using the two loading sockets and the formula for parallel resistors to try a few varients but remember the load of the superline itself 10kΩ is factored into the quoted values on the plugs.
