Timing matters a bit here because this is an older Naim outboard supply rather than a current-gen item, but at £167 it looks like a clear bargain against your local used market: it sits well below the £202 25th percentile and far under the £546 median. For a piece that supports one of Naim’s classic separates, that’s the sort of price that usually makes sense to move quickly on.
The appeal is straightforward: Naim power supplies are generally prized for giving compatible gear more drive, grip, and composure, and the NAPSC is a simple, specialist box that can be a useful upgrade or replacement in the right system. At this level, the main upside is value rather than rarity, so I’d be looking for a clean, working unit with the correct cable and no signs of electrical trouble; if it’s complete and tested, this is the kind of listing fellow Naim owners tend to jump on.

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.
