At £450, this Naim HiCap-2 is a standout bargain, sitting well below the typical used market range of roughly £525 to £799 in GBP. New ex-display units like the one listed at £599 confirm the asking price is significantly under the 25th percentile, making it an excellent deal for a buyer. The HiCap-2 is a revered power supply that delivers cleaner voltage and tighter bass control, especially when paired with Naim amplifiers, and its non-DR version remains a solid upgrade over older caps. With timing favorable as prices climb, original-owner condition, and likely inclusion of accessories like the superior black SNAIC5 cable, this listing represents a genuine buying opportunity rather than a risk.
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.
