Naim 24v Phono Output

Posted by: johnnnyw on 15 July 2017

Hi

Does anyone know what the current rating of the 24v DC output from the Auxilliary 2 in and power out socket for phono stage on a Superuniti 2 is?

I know Naim will frown on me, but has anyone else tried using it to power another manufacturers phono stage which also runs on 24v DC, such as a Graham Slee one?

Cheers

Short answer - don't do it.  The powered input has been designed to not only provide 24v DC power but also take in a signal - this is how the earthing arrangement has been designed, i.e. for a Naim phono stage.  If you power any other unit via the 24V socket but take an input elsewhere then you create an earth loop that will impair overall performance.

Either way, any further discussion here probably falls outside of forum AUP, so thread closed.
