Naim Audio Super Lumina #1 0.75M Interconnect Cables (XLR) Purchased from Len Wallis in lane cove, with a view of going all xlr. But didn’t pan out and went single ended. These are from a Naim statement pre/power setup for a customer who ultimately decided to go another more expensive route. Hence special order from Naim for this length. Current rrp for 1.5m can be found here: https://www.basilaudio.com/products/superlumina-balanced-xlrxlr-signal-interconnect-cable/ So if you have a need for the ultimate xlr cable in your setup or just bought into the new range of Naim gear this is an absol
This is a seller’s market for top-tier Naim interconnects, and the A$2,500 asking price for the Super Lumina 1 is ambitious, sitting well above the typical used range of A$1,300 to A$1,900 AUD. The lowest active global listing translates to roughly A$1,300 AUD, while the average sits near A$1,800 AUD, making this listing nearly 40% above the median. Unless the cable is in exceptional, original-owner condition with rare accessories or a specific length advantage, the price exceeds the 75th percentile and feels stretched for a first-generation model.
The Super Lumina 1 remains well-regarded for its clean, forward presentation and tight bass control, offering a noticeable upgrade over standard Naim cables. Its sonic clarity and low noise floor make it a worthwhile buy at fair prices, but only at A$1,600–A$1,800 AUD would this represent a genuine opportunity. At A$2,500 AUD, buyers should verify the cable’s length, connector type (XLR vs. RCA), and condition meticulously; if any doubt exists, waiting for a listing closer to A$1,700 AUD is the smarter play.
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.
