Angeboten wird „NAIM NAC82 - neu -frisch komplett recapped+ geserviced“ von Naim Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 0643440679 endet am 31.08.2026 um 06:02 Uhr.
Starting with the EUR €2,248 asking price for this used Naim NAC 82 preamplifier, it sits well above the GROUND TRUTH median of €1,142 and clearly exceeds the 75th percentile of €1,694, making this an ambitious, overpriced listing compared to the typical used market. The recent EUR €1,000 sale and the £850 (roughly €990) SOLD unit reinforce that €2,248 is nearly double what similar units command, even in excellent condition.
Despite the high price, the NAC 82 remains a well-regarded preamp known for its smooth, musical sound and robust build quality, often upgraded with superior pots like the POTS8. If this unit is original-owner, serviced (as one 1995 model was in June 2026), and includes accessories like manuals or cables, it could offer meaningful upside for a dedicated Naim collector, but at this price, buyers should expect pristine condition and complete extras to justify the cost.
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.
