The Naim SuperLine is a high-performance moving-coil phono stage housed in an aluminum reference enclosure with a bead-blasted, black anodized front panel. It features a two-stage single-ended Class A discrete amplifier with part-passive RIAA filtering powered by 25 internally regulated power supplies. The design incorporates a transistor "quiet room" thermal isolation technique and a massive sub-chassis with a high-Q spring suspension system to isolate delicate electronics from vibration. It supports RCA and BNC inputs and offers cartridge impedance matching with 20 different load combinations via resistive and capacitive load plugs. The SuperLine requires an external 24V power supply from compatible Naim components such as NaimUniti 2, NAIT XS 2, SUPERNAIT 2, FlatCap XS, HiCap, or SuperCap. A lower gain model, the SuperLine E, is available for high output moving coil cartridges. The unit is hand-wired and undergoes extensive run-in and testing to ensure optimal performance, delivering outstanding timing, pitch accuracy, clarity, and naturalness in vinyl playback.
