Supernait 3 internal MM and Prefix MC possible at same time?

[VTA]

Hello,

I currently have a Supernait 1 with a Prefix phono attached to Aux 2. I would like to know if I move to a SUpernait 3 will I be able to continue using the Prefix into Aux 2 and also have another turntable connected to the Supernait 3’s MM phono stage? I would like to be bale to just switch inputs to play each turntable (not have to unplug, re-plug, power off etc!).

As the inputs marked ‘Phono’ were directly under the Aux 2 socket I had a hunch this might sadly not be possible?

Thx in advance for whoever knows the correct answer.

Yes you can.

You are right that the aux din socket is for powering a stageline or similar, whereas the rca input underneath feeds direct to the phono stage.

So you could connect turntable A to the din socket via your own powered Naim phono stage and use aux 2 selection.

And turntable B uses the SN3 mm built in phono stage via the rca sockets, and select phono.

These are different inputs.
See section 4.2

I think where I was having doubt was that on the Supernait 1 the inputs are programmable.

Also as the AUX2 is above the phono input:

“NOTE: Where an input has a DIN and a phono socket option only one should be connected at any one time.”

I had some cause for doubt.

Very happy to hear it is not the case however and both can be used simultaneously.
Cheers!

@VTA

only one should be connected at any one time.”

Thats true for all the other inputs to the right on the back panel; these all have din sockets duplicated with rca sockets.

That is now apparent thx!

I am assuming that now the DAC is gone there is no need to also have the ability to program inputs to front buttons? If so I like the extra simplicity. Supernait 1 has been terrific but ready for a 3!

No there’s no input programming. Each front panel button corresponds with sockets at the back and that’s that.
