Classic Naim tuner, serial no. 64939, 1990 manufacture. Very good condition, full working order. Not original box but will be securely packaged.
Compared with the obvious alternative of waiting for a cleaner deal, this is above the current used median and sits close to the top of the recent range, so it reads as a bit ambitious at £425 versus a £341 median and £382 75th percentile. It is not wildly out of line, but it is asking a premium that needs a genuinely tidy unit, full working order, and good provenance to feel justified.
That said, this is a respected Naim tuner and the NAT 02 has a strong following for its musical, lively presentation and solid build. If it’s clean, original, and well cared for, the upside is owning a properly regarded analogue FM piece that still appeals to enthusiasts who value a good tuner front end; at this level, I’d want confirmation of reception health and any service history, but it remains a credible buy if the condition really is as described.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Naim Audio, a cornerstone of British hi-fi excellence, traces its origins to 1973 when Julian Vereker, a self-taught engineer, racing driver, and music enthusiast, formally incorporated the company in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Vereker's journey began earlier, in 1969, experimenting with tape recording and sound-to-light boxes before designing his first power amplifier in 1971. Amid the British hi-fi industry's recession, he secured a pivotal contract with Capital Radio, blending entrepreneurial grit with a passion for authentic sound reproduction that challenged conventional wisdom.
The brand specializes in premium integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital streamers, DACs, and compact music systems, often featuring built-in amplification for streamlined setups. While not delving into speakers—beyond a historical foray—or headphones and turntables, Naim emphasizes modular, upgradable components that prioritize pace, rhythm, and timing (PRaT), a signature sonic philosophy rooted in the "source first" approach alongside contemporaries like Linn.
Naim holds a commanding position in the high-end market, revered by discerning audiophiles for its handmade, innovative systems that deliver emotional musical engagement over mere specifications. Now part of VerVent Audio Group following a 2011 merger with Focal, it exports to over 45 countries, sustaining a cult following for resilient, influential designs that transcend economic cycles.
