Naim Nait 50 Anniversary

[The_Lecht_Rocks]

Hmmm… Looks like all the bargain NN50 now gone… Typical, I was on the fence about another one but that ship seems to have sailed…

My commiserations, think of it as, ship has sailed but it will have to dock again at some point 😊

More things are lost by indecision than bad decision!

still far cry from the RRP.

Original RRP £2799
I paid £1599 for mine.
They dropped to £999 !

I should have got another at £999….

Oh well…… Sugden A21SE calling…..

Sugden now thats a name that evokes special memories.
I remember purchasing JE Sugden A21 Class A 12 watt amp in a junk shop back in the eighties.
These and B&W BBC design studio monitors.
I can't recall exactly how much I paid for both amp and speakers but I think it might have been £25.



See eBay link for the asking price, £599!

Recently Snagged a ex demo Nait 50 for £650 & Rega Naia for £6,000
Best bargain ever was auction back in the 90s with a boxed mint Garrard 401 for a Tenner
& BBC auction for a unused still in the box Technics SP10 for £250

£650 ! !?.?

£1400 seems a fair price for the Nait 50. It’s heaps better than my last Hegel (imho).

I’d highly recommend it even if that was not always the case prior to ownership.

Didn’t buy it, almost wish I had, but done a hifi reshuffle today

Nait50 now in the big room and looks diminutive

It IS diminutive 🙂 (Saw your photo over at Naim)

I am sure the (expensive) options you've listed over there may do a better job if a/your room is huge and b/your speakers are inefficient and you listen very loud but you will certainly pay for the privilege.

Absolutely sorted for now I think………
TX9 are so easily driven the NN50 got hold of them.
The EXA 100 now got good grip of the ATCs….. SORTED !
