Our Thoughts RADAR AI

A straightforward Naim power-supply buy, and the price sits a bit above the middle of the recent market rather than in bargain territory. At £517, it’s above the £443 median but still well below the £636 75th percentile, so this reads as fair-to-solid rather than cheap.

What makes it appealing is the usual FlatCap appeal: a worthwhile step-up for compatible Naim separates, with the sort of rhythmic drive and system lift that keeps these units in demand. If it’s complete and functioning cleanly, the upside is decent; just make sure the connector set matches your intended use and that it’s been well cared for, since age and cable wear matter more than cosmetic fuss on a supply like this.

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.
