Naim Audio SuperLine Reference MC Phono-Stage

Product description

Vinyl replay makes a huge contribution to the enjoyment of recorded music. At its best, vinyl has a uniquely engaging and musical quality, and with the SuperLine phonostage, the best of vinyl just gets better.

The SuperLine is a high performance moving-coil phono stage built in the Naim Audio aluminium reference enclosure with an anodised front panel. It brings all Naim Audio’s latest analogue electronic design and environmental isolation techniques to bear on the most delicate analogue element of any hi-fi system – the moving-coil phono signal. The SuperLine requires an external power supply – either the power supply output of an appropriate Naim Audio preamplifier or the SUPERNAIT and NAIT XS integrated amplifiers, or, for optimum performance, a dedicated FlatCap XS, HiCap or SuperCap.

SuperLine brings out all that’s best in vinyl replay – timing, pitch accuracy, clarity, detail, and the unmistakable naturalness that records can deliver in abundance.
