NAIM SOLSTICE SPECIAL EDITION

The 56-pound Naim Solstice Special Edition, the first turntable from the storied English manufacturer, is an ambitious dive into the high-end analog pool. With a limited run of 500 units priced at $20,000 each, the belt-drive table has an outboard power supply to maintain perfect speed stability and comes fitted with Naim’s Aro tonearm plus an Equinox moving-coil cartridge. Great vinyl playback offers a transformative listening experience, and the included Solstice phono stage, optimized to preserve Naim’s refined sound, sends the cartridge’s delicate low-level signal directly to the preamplifier, eliminating the need for one with a built-in phono section.
