New Old Stock Solstice?

Does anyone know if there are any UK dealers that have NOS Solstices in stock?

I was going to buy one last year but didn’t the funds and now there just seems to be ex-demo or 2nd hand ones.

I would give Signals a call, if they do not have new, the demo unit has been hardly used.

Maybe Cymbiosis might have one worth asking. :+1:

When discussing with a dealer ask them to obtain the alternative heavier counter weight from Naim as it will give you more cartridge options going forward……should be free of charge from Naim.

I’d spotted the Tom Tom one, but I’m in Scotland. However, it’s the only one I’ve found so far after a mornings search so I’m checking with them on availability.

Good tip.

Will do.

Which often is just an unpacked item, sitting on the shelf for a while.
Should be ok in my book.

At what level in Clearaudio range do we think it sits? Ovation?

Hifi lounge have one for sale at just below £9k.
More than i have seen them advertised for but i guess a deal could be done.

Update
I saw X in the add above and took it as xlX display but its a trade in.
But as far as 2nd hand go then there’s a few for sale and a quick look i see 2 more both cheaper.

But probably not what you want.

My Solstice is giving me great music daily. Sure, takes a better cartridge and phono stage but still a great sounding deck. At second hand prices its a great package imho…

There are 2 Solstice’s for sale on “HiFi Forsale” at the moment. One is ex-dem @£8950, the other looks to be Pre-Loved @£7495. Both have been up for sale for a very long time now, so maybe some movement on price can be negotiated.

No For Sale or Wanted ads! (includes free gifts, services, and loans of equipment) - this includes transparent or oblique references to equipment for sale or equipment being sought - sometimes this will be a judgement call. ALL links to, or mentions of, equipment For Sale will be moderated.

Minor correction; it’s a new lighter counterweight to permit the use of lighter cartridges.

Remind me which cartridge you’re using now.
