Against the recent GBP comps, £1,000 sits a touch above the £921 median and just over the £953 upper quartile, so this is on the firm side rather than a bargain. It is not wildly out of line, but it only looks fully justified if condition is excellent, provenance is clean, and the seller has included the right leads and packaging.
This unit is valued because it is a core Naim power accessory: it can give a compatible source component a quieter, more stable supply and a worthwhile step up in refinement and timing. That makes it a sensible buy for someone already in the Naim ecosystem, especially if it is well cared for and ready to plug in. At this price, though, I would want clear photos, confirmation it works properly, and any included accessories spelled out.
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.
