Should i buy flatcap 2 for my nac 202 preamp was gonna buy napsc but seen flatcap 2 on ebay for same money

Given a choice between the Flatcap at about £320 off eBay or a new NAPSC for £280 I'd go for...

...an Avondale APX2 for £300 off eBay. Or a Teddy Pardo power supply if I saw one for a good price.

For some reason I find photos of the inside of Flatcaps almost laugh out loud funny. Google "Naim Flatcap photos" to see if you find them funny too.

Napsc and Flatcap power different bits of the 202 and are therefore not interchangeable!

If you have a 200 power amp then the Flatcap is a total waste of money imho. A HiCap or Teddy equivalent is a different matter, in fact Teddy Pardo makes a power supply which will do both the Napsc bit and the HiCap/Flatcap bit and in my experience works very well.
