5 Series Questions

Posted by: Mark Rampling on 12 November 2000

OK, some questions on the new 5 series:

1. FlatCap2 can power two pieces of equipment (eg CD5 & Nait5) -- is it better to have one FlatCap2 dedicated to each piece of equipment, or is sharing one FlatCap2 between two pieces of equipment just as good?

2. As the FlatCap2 has two outputs, is it possible to connect both outputs to one piece of equipment, so that it effectively has two external power supplies?

3. Naim's literature says that the new 150 power amp can be doubled up when more power is needed -- does this mean each one becomes a mono-amplifier, maybe by internal bridging (like the NAP500)?

4. I've not heard anything about a 5-series IXO, has anyone else?

the part about the NAP150 being used as a passive mono (based on internal bridging) is a typo...
