My entire Naim system is up for sale so grab a bargain! relatively speaking......I simply need to downsize and reduce the box count and box size of some items, I am looking at either the new 200 or 300 series, a step back in performance from what I have heard so far but I cant have an 11 box system anymore! I want everything to match so I am selling and changing the lot and I am sure I will enjoy whatever I have going forward.Anyway the 252 needs no introduction, stunning pre amp, I have had three in my Naim career as such, I tend to change them for newer items when funds permit and buy ex-dem so I still get a 5 year warranty, I used to work in the industry for over ten years so buy with confidence. The later 252s seem to suffer with iffy mute relays, fear not as this one has just come back from Naim and has had them replaced, I only bought this two months ago ex-dem from Soundcraft Ashford so still almost 5 years left on the warranty, as above I am only selling due to my circumstances changing at home. I also have a Supercap DR for sale and a 282 if the 252 is out of budget at the moment, and the rest of my system so do take a look. The 252 comes with the correct Burndy and 5 pin Snaic but you will require a Supercap of some sort, Olive up to DR will work but the latter is quite a sonic improvement, especially the DR! Dont risk it with and old 252, this one is mint, it looks strange in the photos but I find Naim products dont photo well in real life, in person its mint no issues and just back from Naim and only two months short of a 5 year warranty, a winner! For those that have not heard a 252, it makes a 282 sound broken even with a Supercap DR, I listen mostly late at night and nothing comes close to the 252s full dynamic range and refinement at any volume level. The starting bid I think is sensible and £1500 less than what I gave for her only two months ago. Please note couriers will not insure for full value so its sent at the buyers risk, when I sent her to Naim its the same! even though it goes via a retailer, collection is preferred but I will send if desperate and cover the costs to mainland.

Fully serviced at Naim at end of last year and unused since. So to all intents and purposes as good as new and no attention needed for another 15 years.Selling due to 552 DR upgrade. But the 252 comes pretty close and knocksit for six in the VFM stakes.UK sale only. Bidders with no or low feedback please get in touch before bidding.Preferably, it can also be collected from Harrogate or can meet upwithin reasonable distance.Please note that I have one negative feedback as a seller due to cancelling an item from a bidder who had no ebay purchase history and could not supply any proof of address. He suggested I had gone quiet about the refund. An automatic full refund was issued by ebay, as the buyer acknowledges in a comment to his initial feedback. The buyer has since mailed saying he wishes to withdraw his feedback, realising it was unfair, and has now deregistered as a user, but ebay is being notably unhelpful in acceding to his request.

Our example of the NAC 252 comes complete with a SuperCap power supply. They are in excellent condition and come with full original factory packaging, remote control, manual, mains cable, Burndy SNAIC interconnect cables. Plus of course our standard three month warranty. Naim Say…. Like many of our products, the NAC 252 stems from good stock: it descends directly from the NAC 52, still one of the finest preamplifiers ever made. Capable of exceptional clarity, its power supply components reside in a separate enclosure: the SuperCap power supply unit. This ensures optimum isolation from electromagnetic interference and provides each of the ten audio circuits with an independent, fully regulated supply voltage. Additionally, separate power supplies for the digital control and switching circuitry further isolate the audio circuitry from noise. It’s this attention to detail that makes the NAC 252 so special – that, and our determination to let nothing stand in the way of your musical enjoyment. Many designs were explored for the NAC 252 and a complete review of the circuit topology and components took place in accordance with the developments pioneered in preamplifiers such as the NAC52. Hundreds of hours were spent listening to various designs, ensuring that the harmony between music and technology was always maintained. Ten independently regulated power supplies are fed from the matching SuperCap power supply. Totally separate regulated supplies for the digital control and switching ensure no noise is generated in the audio circuits. Features: Support for both DIN and RCA inputs to facilitate connection into a wider range of systems Totally separate regulated supplies for digital control and switching circuitry Precision rotary potentiometers with precious metal wipers AV bypass mode for simple connection to an existing AV system Powered input for use with StageLine or SuperLine phono stages Specifications: Audio Inputs: Other Inputs: AV input configurable for unity gain Input Impedance: 47 k?

The importance of power supplies has been close to the heart of Naim philosophy for over twenty years. Although certain Naim amplifiers provide a very adequate power supply to the partnering pre-amplifier, the use of a separate Naim ultra-low noise power supply brings substantially improved musicality to the whole system. Simply being separate from the amplifiers ensures correct earthing and hum-free operation, while the large toroidal transformer and generous high quality smoothing capacitors provide exceptional dynamic stability. Each of the multiple power outputs use specially selected regulators for optimum performance. The SuperCap can be used to power all of the Naim pre-amplifiers (except the NAC 552), phono stages and active crossovers and is the only choice for supplying power to the NAC 252 pre-amplifier. The addition of anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet compliment the elegant new cast and extruded anti-magnetic chassis to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration The audible benefits from adding a SuperCap are fundamental to the music: improving timing, dynamic range, clarity and order. Particularly complex music becomes both easier to understand and listen to. Inclusion of a SuperCap offers the additional benefit of allowing the pre-amplifier to be left switched on constantly, independently of the power amplifier, keeping the unit’s complex circuitry fully stabilised at all times.

Save over £3000 and grab a bargain with one of Naim Audios best preamplifiers. Key Features Support for both DIN and RCA inputs to facilitate connection into a wider range of systems SuperCap power supply (with fourteen independently regulated voltages) required Totally separate regulated supplies for digital control and switching circuitry Precision rotary potentiometers with precious metal wipers AV bypass mode for simple connection to an existing AV system Powered input for use with StageLine or SuperLine phono stages Naim NAC 252 Preamplifier The NAC 252 is a direct descendant of the highly regarded NAC 52 preamplifier, a model that even to this day is considered to be one of the finest preamplifiers ever built. Capable of an outstanding level of clarity, the power supply componentry within the 252 is housed in a separate enclosure; the SuperCap power supply unit. This guarantees the best possible isolation from electromagnetic interference and provides each of the units ten audio circuits with an independent and fully regulated supply voltage. In addition to this, individual power supplies also enhance the digital control and switching circuitry and further isolate the audio circuitry from the noise that may otherwise disturb the quality of the signal. It is this level of attention to detail that Naim has become famous for and that the 252 sets its standard by. Who is Naim? Naim Audio has a special place in British audio, thanks to its founder and inspirational leader Julian Vereker, a hugely talented mechanical and electronic engineer with a passion for, amongst many things, music. Founded in 1973, Naim has always had a firm philosophy of music first, measurements second - each Naim product is extensively auditioned as part of the product development process to make sure that it delivers clear, emotional music-making ability. Naim products are designed to bring the closest facsimile of a live music event into your home listening environment, to give you maximum pleasure from your music collection. Many of the Naim products are evolutions of previous designs, sometimes incorporating quite small changes to the mechanical or electronic design. However, these incremental changes make a large overall improvement in the music performance of each product. Unlike other audio brands, built-in obsolescence is not part of the plan - Naim products can often be upgraded in performance by the addition of several different levels of the external power supply. In this way, the owner of a Naim component can upgrade his system without having to continually sell existing equipment. Unusually, Naim recommends the use of DIN-compatible interconnecting cables, as the earthing integrity is superior to the industry standard phono connector. Having said that, Naim products often come equipped with both types of connectors, to allow easy mixing and matching to third-party equipment.
