Classic Naim tuner, serial no. 64939, 1990 manufacture. Very good condition, full working order. Not original box but will be securely packaged.
This is a fair ask, just a touch above the market’s midpoint. With a median comparable at £340 and the 75th percentile at £380, £425 sits above the typical spread, so it’s not a bargain and I’d want it to earn that extra money on condition or provenance.
The upside is that this is a well-regarded tuner from Naim’s classic era, and buyers tend to value the simple, musical presentation and solid build. If it’s a clean, fully working example with a good aerial setup and original bits intact, it can be a very satisfying long-term piece; just make sure tuning stability, display, and any service history are all in order before paying over the usual range.
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.
