Richard … Is there any substance in the rumours regarding a Naim Audio cassette deck? I wonder if it ever got to prototype and what became of those examples

No problem, I have it on my desk, so I’ll probably upload some images on Friday.

Yup. The long awaited Cassette Deck really did exist. I’m hoping it’s finally ready for Munich 2020…

Looking at my 1998 price list, it’s remarkable how well the 52 has held value. It’s now worth around two thirds of the original price while the 180 is more like a third or so.

Many thanks! Sep 1998 is probably when CDS2 appeared and the PSCD was updated to XPS, sold separately.

Hi sihctr

I found 1992 as well for you.

You can’t use the term OCD in a light hearted way like that, it’s classed as a hate crime

Ah, the old small-format connections guides - they were really good. When I first started at Naim I had one on my desk that was such a help while I learned all about the different Naim connections, such as active six-pack. Only problem was that it kept getting “borrowed”, so, realising that stocks were almost exhausted, in the end I wrote my initials all over it in marker pen - did the trick, and I still have it.

@felty99 you are a Saint! This empty line in Apr2010 was really bugging me… The picture resolution is not great but I could decipher the prices, also taking into account the past values.

In case you can upload it with higher resolution for archiving it would be excellent.

Not sure if this is any better, source is PDF so i could always send you the original by PM.

I’m surprised the Research Department didn’t claim it. :grinning:

I reckon that might have been the last price list to include the mighty Aro. Sadly I had to pay significantly more than that for a brand new, sealed in box example in 2015. But needs must!

The line spacing on the Unitis confused me at first when I skimmed it, I was trying to remember Naim ever producing a £2100 MP3/IPod USB player, before realising it was the second line of the Uniti description.

Yes this is much better. I got a couple of digits wrong from the previous one.
I will sleep much better tonight after getting this! :rofl: :rofl:

One piece of information that might come in handy when shopping second hand: 555PS should normally include a Powerline from 2010 onwards.
