Angeboten wird „NAC 282“ 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 3788889663 endet am 01.08.2026 um 14:41 Uhr.
This is a fair, near-median ask for a NAC 282; at €1,900 it sits exactly on your database median and just above the €1,851 25th percentile, so it reads as sensible rather than a bargain or an aggressive ask.
What makes it worthwhile is the unit itself: the 282 is one of Naim’s most respected preamps, known for pace, grip, and a very involving midband, so a clean example still has real appeal if the rest of the system is in the Naim lane. At this price, the key upside is a straightforward, well-liked preamp from a strong lineup without paying premium territory; I’d mainly want to confirm service history, remote, and any original packaging or power-supply chain details before moving quickly.
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.
