Does anybody have a picture or something of the NAPSC power supply?? I know this is a PSU for the lights, buttons and motorised volume control of Naim pre-amps (right?). It's mentioned on the Naim price list and from what I've been told it's a 'must do' upgrade for my 102 together with a Hi-Cap (heard that one, fantastic).

My question is, what kind of PSU is this? As far as I know it's not housed in a Hi-Cap kind of case but I've never seen the d.mn thing! It isn't mentioned in Naims brochure(s) or on the website...

Can anybody help me with this ghost product?

Thanx!

I don't have a picture, sorry, but it's really not worthy of a photo. About the size of two cassette tapes side-by-side; black powder-coated steel (or is it alloy?), with cable entry and exit at one end. I think it might have a green led too, IIRC.

Generally best kept away from the kit, so at least you don't have to be worrying about rack space. I've not had a look inside mine, so dunno what the t/f or regulation is like inside. Single rail.

If you're wondering about it for your 102, worthwhile.

HTH.

I'm going to try and attach a photo of a NAPSC (next to the Hicap on the third shelf down).

P.S. It's a little black box about 15 x 10 x 3 cm, weighs about a kg and has a green LED on the back.

Vuk.

What is that thing anyway?

I dunno. I just typed "electrical", "transformer" and "picture" into the google search engine and hit the links until I found something over the top.

It came from this site.

That's one hell of a dimmer switch, or NAIM come up with a dimmer that doesn't affect the sound of their systems the NADS-01 (Naim Audio Dimmer Switch) not shown is the outboard PSU.

OK, I can't take you guys suffering, what with not knowing what a napsc looks like, so I removed the extruded alumin(i)um case on mine and took a picture.

Joe What the hell are you going to do to the other guy with that thing in your right hand?

Joe / John, I've just been started at by some 20 head-nodding colleagues as I was quietly sitting behind my laptop and suddenly laughing out loud!... I never knew such funny audiophiles existed! Must have to do something with Naim.

Thanks for the replies guys! I'll try to upload a picture Timo has send me too. Note I did say TRY...

Doddy,
I might be intersted but if I'm right you're in the UK and that means 110V. We have 220 V at 50 Hz in Holland. Won't work would it?

If is does work though;

- How old is it? (brandnew, always lived in the garage and used to be from your Granny ehh?...

- How much?

Richard.

>> Those power cords are not looking like standard Naim items. What are they? <<

They are MusicWorks mains leads that (optionally) go with the MusicWorks mains block reviewed by Jason in HiFi+.

Sorry to (re)use this thread for this but I tried to email you on raymonddodd-no-spam@ic24.net but I keep getting error-messages back (probably due to the no-spam part ).

Do you still want to sell your NAPSC ?

Richard.
