The NAC 62 is a late-1980s design, replaced by the NAC 92 in 1993, so its age and generation are central to the buying decision. At £364, though, this is a strong deal: it sits below the £412 25th-percentile mark for six recent comparable listings, and well under the £558 median.
It remains a well-regarded Naim preamp for its lively timing, rhythmic drive and direct, engaging presentation, particularly in a classic Naim system. The relatively simple circuitry and compatibility with suitable Naim power supplies make it an appealing route into that sound without spending heavily. With condition listed as unknown, confirm that it is fully functional, quiet, original and correctly equipped for your system; even allowing for a service or recap, the asking price leaves useful headroom.

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.
