Naim Audio CD 555 CD player (exc. Power supply).

Radlett Audio purchased this unit in March 2007. It was tested and given a short run in of no more than 48 hours and then re-packed in it's carton, which is where it has been since. It is totally new, with all accessories and two remotes which have not been used.

We are asking £7995 for this fantastic machine - the retail is £11,500, so grab yourself a bargain.

Hi Marco,
Yes, that's what I think. I bought it, ran it and thoroughly enjoyed it for a few hours, then packed it away to save precious space. Problem is, I'm not known for 'Reference' Naim products and have had no interest in it, so it has just sat in it's carton. People come to me for TT's, tube amps, Rega etc but not megabuck CD players I'm sorry to say, so it needs to go to finance the purchase of some big speakers and a couple of phono stages.

Dave,

You know my feelings about über high-end gear in general, but in the case of the CDS 555, you're getting some serious engineering and no small amount of genuine innovation in the package, along with exceptional audio performance.

At £7995 for such a mint example I can't think of a better way of obtaining Naim's flagship CDP, and probably one of the last examples of a 'no compromise' machine that's likely to be made.

I have contacts who may be interested, so I'll put some feelers out for you :)

Marco.

I must admit that I'd love to run a CDS 555 through my system. This is one of the very best CD players I've ever heard.

And it's sooooooo much more affordable now. :lolsign:

£8000 is still loads of money for a plaything.

We have now reduced this fabulous player to £6750, which must be the bargain of the century bearing in mind that it is effectively new with just the initial 48 hours run in.

As Naim dealers we are able to supply (extra) a PS 555 if it is required.

Hey, even more of a bargain now! Does that include Burndy's, etc? :)

I know and it hasn't been used except for a brief short run. Problem is, I'm not known for being a Naim 'Reference' dealer and so the machine has never been required for a demo. To me it's just money tied up and I would like to move it on.

Yes Marco, it has Burndy's and two remotes which have never been used.

Someone out there is wishing he could find a CD555 at a good price.:scratch:
