Naim 555PS Looking for Naim 555PS non DR version in good condition. Condition: Good condition Payment Method: Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By loo 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $4,000 Date: February 28Feb 28
Is A$4,000 AUD a steal for this Naim 555PS, or are you overpaying? Against our database of 9 recent comparable used Naim listings (median sold A$1,742 AUD, 25th percentile A$1,095 AUD, 75th percentile A$2,290 AUD), this asking price looks ambitious—well above typical market clears for similar high-end power supplies in good shape. Even pristine 555PS units rarely top A$2,500 AUD lately, so negotiate hard unless it's mint with full provenance.
Before biting, verify the power supply's age and service history—Naim's older PS units can suffer capacitor degradation after 15-20 years, leading to noise or failure. Insist on original remote sensing cables, manual, and a full demo with low hum; without them, walk away.
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.
