Famous NAIMs

I was watching a YT video on the Pythons discussing Graham Chapman (maybe my favourite). and this still flashed up in the back:

Are those CBs behind him to the left? Cool that he’s got a pretty high-end setup for back then.

Interested to see if there are other random photos of famous people w Naim gear. Seem to recall Jimmy Page having some gear on a floor in his music room as well.

ISTR that Kate Bush used 32/250/Saras back in the late 70’s-early 80s.

I thought she preferred the old Heathkit equipment?

She sung about it often enough.

Is that a N50 or an original Nait?

Wait, is that a red LED Nait?

Don’t be mean to poor Hugh, didn’t even know he’d be terminated in Picard Season 1 :slightly_frowning_face:.

Look like 12/160.

The power amp looks like CB but the 12 is almost certainly BD.

If, this was at his parent’s house in Droitwich I would think there was a possibility that this gear came from “West Midland Audio” in Worcester. They started in the very early 80s and were a significant Linn, Naim, Rega etc dealer. John Roberts who runs “Midland Audio Exchange” worked there before setting up on his own.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that Prof Brian Cox has Naim and he used to post on the old forum (?) but I could be wrong ……

Yep, DrBri was a frequent contributor, no longer. But we won’t hold that against him.
