Compared with the typical used ask of around A$246, this A$425 listing sits well above the 75th percentile, so I’d call it ambitious rather than a bargain. Unless the condition/accessories are unusually excellent or you specifically need this exact cable, there’s enough room here to wait for a better-priced example.
That said, this is a respected Naim speaker cable: it’s known for strong timing, good rhythm, and a slightly lean, very controlled presentation that pairs well with Naim gear and other revealing systems. In like-new shape that’s a plus, especially if the terminations are correct and it’s the length you need. If it includes the original packaging or rare connectors, that helps, but at this price I’d still want a bit more value to jump.
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.
