Commercial Naim Audio XPS 2 Power Supply The importance of power supplies has been close to the heart of Naim philosophy for over twenty years. Naim research proved that porcing the main power supply from a CD player is wholly beneficial, whereas the more common arrangement of housing the converter circuitry in a separate box causes many problems. The Naim XPS2 power supply is a very sophisticated power supply with six separately regulated, very low noise outputs, featuring a toroidal transformer and six power regulators. These supplies are branched and re-regulated, some twice in the CD pla
This is an ambitious ask: at US$1,773, it sits well above the US$1,284 75th percentile and noticeably over the US$1,253 median from your recent comps. For a used accessory, that only makes sense if this is unusually clean, complete, and hard to source; otherwise, it reads rich versus the market.
The upside is that Naim power and accessory pieces tend to be bought by owners who value system synergy, so a tidy example can be worth paying for if it’s the right match and the provenance is solid. I’d want confidence on condition, original packaging, and exactly what’s included before treating this as more than a niche-premium listing; without that, the price is asking top-dollar for what should usually be a more straightforward used buy.
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.
