Power supply Stageline via Uniti Star?

Hi,

me once again. :wink: One question regarding the Stageline phono pre:
Can i supply the stagline with power from the Uniti Star? Maybe via the DIN cable? :thinking:

Thanks,
Axel

Nope - needs a hicap or other alternative Naim psu.

No. Look for a hicap instead.

Hm, sure?

Here is Uniti mentioned as an power supply option:

The original Uniti had a powered phono input, I think.

Naimuniti predates “new platform” uniti ie atom star nova.

There was a naimuniti, unitilite and a superuniti.

A flatcap will be the cheapest option, but hicap will match the form factor (half width box).

Yes, the original Uniti had a powered AUX2.

Here’s a Uniti2 rear panel, 240° DIN 5 for the phono stage just about visible?!

Ok, i see…

An old second hand FlatCap (any vintage) should be sufficient. They go for peanuts, though may need a service.

Rather than a Stageline and a power supply, why not get a powered phono stage? There are plenty available. Which turntable and cartridge do you have?

So far none at all. Stageline + separate power suppy would be way to expensive anyway.
Maybe i’ll start with a tt with integrated pre amp.

In that case you can’t go wrong with a rega or project; both make a plug ‘n’ play turntable complete with phono stage built in.

If you could get a Rega P2 or P3, their Fono phono stage is a perfect match. Much cheaper is the version of the P1 with integrated phono, but it may leave you disappointed.

I would definitely add the Technics SL-1500C to the shortlist.

As an aside the new 222 and 332 not provide a phono feed? Shame if not, my Stageline and later Superline used to sound great of my 282/SC.

The NAC332 and NSC222 have a powered 8 pin DIN to power the NVC TT phono stage.

The NSC222 also has an onboard MM phono stage

I agree. or if more casual, one of the entry Regas, or personally, I strongly preferred the TEAC TN-4D at that entry price point of ready to go with built-in phono stages, though with a slighter better cartridge and power supply it is nudging the P6 price point which is probably higher than the OP wants to go.
