Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Is this the kind of power supply upgrade you’ve been waiting for, or is there room to negotiate? At £1,950, it lands comfortably below the £2,111 25th percentile and well under the £2,271 median, so this reads as a strong buy rather than a merely fair ask.

That makes it especially attractive for anyone chasing the usual Naim gains: more grip, blacker backgrounds, better scale, and a clear lift in composure over the stock supply. If the unit is complete, powers up cleanly, and has been kept in tidy condition, the value looks genuinely good; the only thing worth checking is the expected age-related basics like proper operation, cable integrity, and whether any service history or original packing is included.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Naim Audio

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.
