Seller's Description

Original NAIM! 120 gbp FOR EACH CABLE - includes postage and fees 3 cables total for sell

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

At £120, this is a little above the clean used norm for a genuine Naim SNAIC 5, with recent UK examples around £89 and ex-dem units at £99, while current retail sits at about £199, so it reads as fair-to-slightly-keen rather than a bargain. It is not overpriced, but it is also not the steal you’d want from an unknown-condition cable.

What makes it worthwhile is that SNAIC 5 is one of those Naim leads that really matters in a system: the lockable DIN termination, solid build, and correct Naim-specific wiring make it the right cable for pre/power and supply connections, not just a generic interconnect. The upside is strongest if it’s original, fully working, and has tidy plugs with no strain or intermittent contact; at this level, condition and authenticity matter more than cosmetics.

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.
