No longer available!!

Posted by: Paul B on 03 January 2002

I am sure that most of us would like the inside scoop on Naim's plans for the future, especially regarding the new "552" preamp, CD player and SBL replacement (or is this just a rumour). However, as usual Naim will probably only tell us to be patient and wait and see!

But just as importantly, which products are to be discontinued shortly?
Are the following about to disappear?
- SBLs (reportedly available only in limited finishes already)
- Aro (materials reportedly in short supply?)
- Armageddon (if the Aro goes will the Armageddon follow?)
- Prefix (same as Armageddon)
- NAT01
- NAT02
- 52 (to be replaced by the 552???????)

Could someone at Naim please give us an indication how long we could expect the above to be available (especially the Aro, Armageddon, Prefix as there is unlikely to be any future replacement)?

Analogue products and 52 are intact; can still order SBLs in black ash and walnut.

Tuner parts are harder to come by, hece the demise of the NAT 03 (and later, NAT 02).

Mailed Naim earlier this week about the rumours of the demise of the NAT01 as I have been contmeplating a NAT01 to replace my 02 for a while. The reply stated that "The 01 and 02 will be replaced by the end of this year" Does this indicate a NAP500/NAC552 style recase/new model? I think I'll put up with the 02 for a while longer to see what transpires
