At £995, this sits just above the £925 median and a touch over the £976 upper quartile for recent used GBP listings, so it reads as slightly ambitious rather than a standout bargain. It is not wildly off-market, but it’s priced at the top end of the current used spread, so value depends on condition and completeness.
The upside is that this is a well-regarded power supply that can bring a real lift in quietness, drive, and overall polish to the right Naim setup. If it’s clean, properly boxed, and ideally from careful ownership, it should still be an appealing buy for someone specifically chasing the Naim sound; at this asking level, the buyer should want strong cosmetic condition and a straightforward history to make it feel fully justified.
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.
