In Reply to: What is/was the most obscure component you've owned ? .... posted by reelsmith. on September 24, 2016 at 10:07:01:
With a Naim P3PS power supply which utelise Naim NAP140 power amp.
This was the turntable Naim founder Julian Vereker used after the infamous Linn/Naim split. Phonosophie was then German Naim importer owned by Ingo Hansen. Many think this was a tweaked Thorens ( and certainly looks like one and even comes in the TD2001 box and manual ) but according to the article, the only thing it shares is the knobs and turntable cover. Altho, I see the same leaf spring suspension system which Julian adopted for their CD spinner's transport later on.
From what I understand, Julian wanted US Naim dealer to drop the Linn and carry the P3 instead but dealers were reluctant to give up more profitable Linn Sondek. I bought mine from a friend in Germany who knew Ingo Hansen.
I know one other No.3 owner in the US, but curious to know who else has it.
I believe No.3 is still in production in Germany with their own power supply, tone arm and cartridge but Naimed version ( P3PS + arm board to support Naim ARO tone arm ) is pretty obscure.
