****PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SUPERCAP2 DR HAS BEEN SOLD AS OF 11/18/19****

For sale is a mint customer trade-in NAC252 with matching SuperCap DR power supply.  We sold and installed these units last summer at our customer's home and they have resided in a climate controlled room supported by Naim Fraim connected to a NDS and NAP300 the entire time.  To say they are like new is an understatement!  Our customer has since upgraded to the 552/552PS and hence this unique opportunity to for basically a brand new 252/SC2DR PS at a used price. 

Each unit will be double boxed to preserve their excellent white factory cartons.  The 252's serial number is 410024 and comes complete with everything as new: owner's manual, remote control, SNAIC cable, and Burndy cable.  The SuperCap DR's serial number is 415553 and comes complete with everything as new: Tibia power cord and owner's manual. 
 
Here is what Naim states regarding this amazing preamplifier and power supply combo: 
 
Like many of our products, the NAC 252 stems from good stock: it descends directly from the NAC 52, still one of the finest preamplifiers ever made. Capable of exceptional clarity, its power supply components reside in a separate enclosure: the SuperCap power supply unit. This ensures optimum isolation from electromagnetic interference and provides each of the ten audio circuits with an independent, fully regulated supply voltage. Additionally, separate power supplies for the digital control and switching circuitry further isolate the audio circuitry from noise. It’s this attention to detail that makes the NAC 252 so special – that, and our determination to let nothing stand in the way of your musical enjoyment.

Features

  • Support for both DIN and RCA inputs to facilitate connection into a wider range of systems
  • SuperCap power supply (with fourteen independently regulated voltages) required
  • Totally separate regulated supplies for digital control and switching circuitry
  • Precision rotary potentiometers with precious metal wipers
  • AV bypass mode for simple connection to an existing AV system
  • Powered input for use with StageLine or SuperLine phono stages
Technology & Craft

Many designs were explored for the NAC 252 and a complete review of the circuit topology and components took place in accordance with the developments pioneered in preamplifiers such as the NAC52. Hundreds of hours were spent listening to various designs, ensuring that the harmony between music and technology was always maintained.

Ten independently regulated power supplies are fed from the matching SuperCap power supply. Totally separate regulated supplies for the digital control and switching ensure no noise is generated in the audio circuits.


As iconic as it is widely acclaimed, the SuperCap DR is a Naim Audio classic, capable of powering every preamplifier in our range except for the NAC-N 172 XS and our flagship, the NAC 552. Its substantial toroidal transformer and high-quality smoothing capacitors combine to ensure improved timing, clarity and dynamic range from your favourite music.

Upgraded with our new DR voltage regulator, this timeless component remains one of the most well know and oft-employed power supplies in our range, and for good reason.   

Features
  • 13 x 24V outputs, 2 x 12V output 
  • All-new Discrete Regulator (DR) configuration, delivering Naim Audio’s best-ever standards of stable, low-noise power
  • Brushed, black-anodised aluminium chassis
Technology & Craft

Each of the multiple power outputs on the SuperCap DR uses Naim Audio's specially designed discrete regulators for optimum performance. The SuperCap DR can be used to power all of the Naim Audio preamplifier (except the NAC 552 and NAC-N 172 XS), Superline phono stage and active crossovers, and is the only choice for supplying power to the NAC 252 preamplifier.

Its anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet complement the elegant new cast and extruded anti-magnetic chassis to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration.

The SuperCap DR was updated in 2012 as a result of a two year project to develop a new discrete regulator (DR) for Naim Audio power supplies. The new Naim Audio DR now features, alongside improvements to the wire routing, mechanical decoupling and internal layout. These enhancements, developed through intensive listening tests, significantly raise performance and make music even more communicative and enjoyable.
