Reselling activity of Naim kit in US.....
Posted by: ianrmack on 13 November 2004
Greetings,
This is more informational than editorial yet there is an astounding level of reselling activity on the US internet site that defies immediate explanation. (www.audiogon.com)
Although I purchased my kit at from my local dealer, I periodically check the listings, well, just for the hell of it. In the mot too distant past, there were 30 or so listings with some misc. Olive kit and some Nait 5s or CD5s. When a CDX2 would come up, it would be gone that day.
Now, however, there must be close to 100 listings. Some wackos are selling their entire rigs.....I'm talking CDS3/252/300/Fraim in one instance and cdx2/xps2/282/250 in another. Plus there are multiple listings for 282s, CDX2s, XPS2s, etc.
Draw your own conclusions here. It speaks well for Naim's NA penetration, or........not. An occasional perusal of eBay's Naim listings usually just yields some cables and Chrome kit from the UK. But this new level of used gear available is indeed astonishing.
If the URL below does not work, udiogon.com and enter "Naim" in the search bar. It's yet another unfair form of teasing the aspiring refernce listener with lots of goodies more within our reach.
