Naim Audio Hi-Cap 2 - Power Supply for Naim Audio Components
The Naim Audio Hi-Cap needs little introduction if you have Naim equipment. It provides a very flexible 2x24v power supply for all manner of Naim components
It is in mint condition (IMHO) with the only mark being a very small scuff/scratch - on the top left edge of front panel, where I think a locking DIN plug collar must have touched it, you can feel it rather than easily see it. (It is just visible in main picture if you look very carefully - most people wouldn't notice it - but I choose to note for completeness and accuracy)
Has otherwise sat undisturbed on my Naim Fraim rack powering a Naim Phono Pre-Amp where not even my wife is allowed to dust!
As you can see it is the current Mark 2 faceplate and the serial number is 187921. Current Naim price for the Hi-Cap is £1050 in UK
What is included:-
- Hi-Cap Power Supply Unit.
- Naim Black SNAIC NA52 Connecting Lead
- Naim Mains Lead with Crabtree UK plug.
- The Original Naim Audio box and packaging.
- Paper Copy User Manual with Instructions.
NB. Please note this is UK specification 240v Hi-Cap and although I include for Worldwide Shipping as several Countries around the World do also use 240v, it would need to be wired for 110v by Naim Dealer for use in USA or Countries not using 240 volt Mains Electricity.

Naim Audio Official Description......
Hi-Cap power supply |

Although certain Naim amplifiers provide a very adequate power supply to the partnering preamplifier, the use of a separate Naim ultra-low noise power supply brings substantially improved musicality to the whole system. Simply being separate from the amplifiers ensures correct earthing and hum-free operation, while the large toroidal transformer and generous high quality smoothing capacitors provide exceptional dynamic stability.
Each of the power outputs use specially selected regulators for optimum performance. The Hi-Cap can be used to power all of the Naim phono stages, active crossovers and preamplifiers except the NAC 552 and NAC 252; in the case of the NAC 282 preamplifier a second Hi-Cap may be used, bringing further improvements.
The addition of anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet compliment the elegant new cast and extruded anti-magnetic chassis to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration.
The audible benefits from adding a Hi-Cap are fundamental to the music: improving timing, dynamic range, clarity and order. Particularly complex music becomes both easier to understand and listen to. Inclusion of a Hi-Cap offers the additional benefit of allowing the preamplifier to be left switched on constantly, independently of the power amplifier, keeping the unit's complex circuitry fully stabilised at all times.
- Ultra-low noise preamplifier and electronic crossover power supply.
- Huge toroidal transformer and smoothing capacitors provide exceptional dynamic stability.
The new Naim Hi-Cap sets free the musicality and dynamic range of a hi-fi system, making an incredibly effective upgrade to a preamplifier, power amplifier combination. |
