This excellent turntable comes complete with nvc tt solstice phono stage and the npx tt solstice power supply, along with the naim aro tonearm, and equinox mc cartridge makes for a complete analogue front end package. Limited to just 500 units this was a limited edition release from naim and has everything required to get you up and running easily. Comes with all original packaging and accessories.
Excellent condition makes this a slight premium, but not a bad one: at £7,495 against a recent comparable median of £7,441 and a 75th percentile of £7,473, it sits just above the top of the local spread, so I’d call it firm rather than a bargain. It is only about £22 over the 75th percentile, so this is not an ambitious ask.
That still leaves a lot to like if you want a serious phono stage: the Solstice SE is the sort of Naim box buyers chase for its resolution, drive, and low-noise performance, and clean used examples tend to hold value well. In excellent condition, the upside is mainly peace of mind and easier resale, especially if it’s complete with the right PSU, leads, and packaging; at this level, I’d just confirm all accessories and service history are present.
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.
