Naim Audio NAC252 with Supercap2 Pre Amplifier For sale is my Naim NAC252 preamplifier with a Supercap2 DR power supply combo( I paid for the Supercap to be DR back in 2016 for $3350). Both items are in excellent condition and I'm the first owner for both, note the NAC252 can only function if paired with another Naim power supply ( min Supercap). Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Cash on pickup or PAYID Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By eujin 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $7,000 Date: June 5, 2025Jun 5
An excellent-condition Naim NAC 252 listed at A$7,000 sits well above the recent AUD market median of A$5,061, exceeding the 75th percentile of A$5,929, making this an ambitious price rather than a bargain. While the pristine condition justifies moving up from the 25th percentile (A$4,574), the asking price is roughly A$1,000 higher than the top quartile of comparable listings, so it demands serious negotiation or proof of exceptional original-owner pedigree to feel fair.
The NAC 252 remains a cult favorite for its tight, rhythmic bass and sophisticated midrange, especially when paired with a Supercap 2 or similar power supply, delivering the signature Naim “slam” and musicality that still competes with modern designs. If this listing includes the original power supply, remote, and manuals—and shows no signs of wear or capacitor aging—it could still be a worthwhile buy for a dedicated Naim fan, but only if the price drops closer to A$5,500–A$5,800.

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.
