Thanks Doug. I'm back however in a smaller way. I'll post a photo soon but this thing makes me want to tap my toes. Full and meaty sound. Fills the room. It needs a serious break in but it's wonderful. Holy cow! I love it already.

Suh-weet! :superbanana::superbanana:
I'll bet it will sound amazing with your TAD's
Joe or Sean.......since theSupernait 2 doesn't have any vent holes for ventilation....does it get overly warm? How about the HiCap 2 PS?
As much as I despise an all black component..... the Naim is still on my list.![]()
Hi,
My honest opinion is that the SN2 could be the most musical solid state amp I've heard. It makes you forget about all those audiophile attributes and just enjoy the music. I do think finding the right balance system-wise is important. The SN2 is a fuller and somewhat heavier sound which I love depending on speaker choice.
The power supply, I feel, is important. It brings more of that clarity, tighter bass, more detail, better dynamics, natural voices, better soundstage and PRaT that we all talk about. I bought the TeddyCap for my friend and I got the HiCap-DR. I feel the TeddyCap is just as good (or better) for less money.
I love my Naim and will not give it up.
Joe.....thanks for the TeddyCap option. That could be a very big saving and you don't lose anything in the sound.
Sean..... thanks for your reply on the non-heat issue. Even my Monster power conditioner doesn't have any vents but it does get a little warm. It has to be the ambient temp in Hawaii. :lol:
Anytime. Also, just an FYI - Naim does not always play well with conditioners. Some reports show compression of dynamics and slowing of the coined 'PRaT.' I believe non-conditioning power 'distributors' are what you would want to try, if anything. I have mine going straight to the wall. But I believe Jock had success with Shunyata. Maybe the Cyclops? Something that doesn't restrict the flow of high current.
Hi Sean
When I ordered the TeddyCap for my friend, I only had to order one additional cable like the Naim HICap needed. Total delivered was $621 vs around 2K for the Naim unit. I have no Din sources so both my sources are hooked up via RCA. I'm not worried about it. I'm sure that the Din connection is better and someday I'll have a Naim source.
