User manual NAIM SUPERLINE

[. . . ] This can lead to circumstances that may be unfamiliar. The notes that follow contain advice specifically related to Naim equipment as well as more general warnings about the use of domestic audio products. Your Naim hi-fi system can be damaged by lightning and should be turned off and disconnected from the mains when there is risk of lightning strike. In most territories a retailer must be prepared to take back any equipment he has sold if it cannot be made to work satisfactorily. [. . . ] The duration varies, but under some conditions the sound may continue to improve for over a month. Better and more consistent performance will be achieved if the system is left switched on for long periods. It is worth remembering however that equipment left connected to the mains can be damaged by lightning. Please quote the product serial number (found on its rear panel) in all correspondence. The SuperLine moving coil phono amplifier is designed to extract the best possible musical performance from vinyl disc replay. The SuperLine contains no internal power supply and must be connected either to a Naim amplifier incorporating an appropriate power supply output, or to a dedicated Naim power supply. SuperLine output is muted for 2 minutes following switch-on to allow its circuitry to reach optimal status. Cartridge loading resistance and capacitance can be adjusted by inserting combinations of resistive and capacitive "load plugs" into sockets on the SuperLine rear panel. The SuperLine incorporates a suspension system to isolate its sensitive components from vibrational energy. The suspension system is protected during shipping by two transit screws. The transit screws must be removed before use. Once the transit screws are removed the SuperLine must not be inverted. Transit screw removal is best carried out once the SuperLine is installed in its final location and all connections are made. Two transit screws must be removed from the underside of the SuperLine before use and replaced if it is to be carried any distance, packed or shipped. SuperLine transit screws must not be used with any other Naim product. Damage may result if the SuperLine is inverted either during or after transit screw removal. To gain access to the transit screws, position one end of the SuperLine over the edge of a table, remove (or replace) the screw that becomes accessible and then repeat with the other end. The SuperLine must be connected to a dedicated Supercap, Hi-Cap or Flatcap power supply (option one) or a Naim preamplifier or integrated amplifier that incorporates an appropriate power supply output (option two). If option one is chosen, connect the SuperLine to the dedicated power supply using, in the case of a Hi-Cap or Flatcap, a Naim SNAIC interconnect cable, and in the case of a Supercap, the appropriate Naim Burndy cable. In either case take care to connect with the correct cable orientation. [. . . ] A label on each load plug identifies its load value. Seven standard load plugs are supplied - four resistive and three capacitive - to provide 20 combinations (including the default input loads applied when no load plugs are inserted). Note: In addition to the standard load plugs supplied, 470 and 560 resistive plugs are also available on request. Other values may also be created either by modifying standard plugs or manufacturing new ones. [. . . ]
