Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Naim is the worst, for this and many other reasons...

Not only won't they supply schematics but will not even provide spare parts, many of which are made only for Naim. Then in my experience, they take months to do a simple repair and then charge obscene amounts of money for it.

There are many products and companies in high end audio and other specialty hobbies where the bulk of the marketing and claims are total BS. No surprise. But in my opinion, Naim is the all time worst. And I know better than most; many years ago, sadly, I was one of their dealers. It looked like a good concept on first blush but the more I got to know their real marketing philosophy and got to really see how they operate, it wasn't long before I dropped them. I did invest in a really expensive demo system. Did it sound good? Yes. But with some effort, I found it was easy to beat their performance with other products at a fraction of the cost.

Avoid Naim at all cost.
