For sale is 1 x Naim Hi-Line 5 to 5 pin DIN interconnect - 1.25metre
Rarely available 2nd hand especially in this condition - it's competitively priced compared to new ($1,800).
A notable sonic upgrade over the standard Naim Lavender Interconnect 5 pin DIN interconnect.
Available from our Auckland store.
Is this NZ$1,095 Naim Hi-Line interconnect a fair buy for your system? Yes—it sits just above the NZ$1,045 median from three recent NZ listings, making it a straightforward fair-price deal rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask. While new stock in NZ often lists between NZ$1,800–NZ$2,150 and European new prices hover around NZ$1,850, this used listing offers solid value without the new-cable premium.
The Hi-Line is a cult favorite for its clean, forward presentation and tight bass control, thanks to silver-plated conductors and Naim’s custom terminations that minimize signal loss. At this price, it’s a smart upgrade for Naim owners or anyone seeking a transparent, energetic interconnect. Since the condition isn’t specified, confirm the cable ends are clean and the shielding intact, but at fair value, this is a worthwhile opportunity to grab a well-loved cable without overspending.
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.
