British Hi-Fi maker Naim Audio has released the most recent turntable that audiophiles will love. This week, the UK-based manufacturer launched the Summer Solstice Edition turntable which is the company's first record player in its 50 years of creating high-end audio equipment.
As magical as it sounds, the Solstice version would be coming with a classic Naim design together with its new features. Besides the world-class sound quality, this turntable will throw you back to vinyl and digital discs.
Naim's Summer Solstice Turntable is Outstanding
Naim releases a Solstice Special Edition turntable after five decades. Is it worth its price and features?
According to What Hi-Fi's report on Monday, June 21, the company has finally developed a Naim turntable that is engineered to be one of the best audio tools out there. After five decades, the record player manufacturer has thrown out fuss-free audio technology.
Its design, consisting of 47 separate layers of wood, gives a nostalgic tone to the equipment. On the other hand, its cartridge is protected by an aluminum layer crafted to provide extra durability to the tool.
The latest iconic Aro tonearm was incorporated in the Equinox MC cartridge of Naim's Solstice turnable. It's noteworthy to see that it has the latest phono stage where the accessories and power supply are displayed.
At the moment, the supplies of the Solstice turntable will be limited, that's why Naim wants you to hurry to purchase this product. There are only 500 units of them which come with a package of extra accessories and features.
According to Paul Neville, Naim's director of Audio Research and Development, the latest Solstice turntable will be a game-changer. Those who miss listening to songs from a vinyl record player can now reminisce another round of classic music through Naim's turntable.

Naim Solstice Special Edition Package Inclusion
What Nam offers is an extensive set of features that will come in the turnable package such as the Turntable NVS TT. This focuses on the philosophies of its core design which involves aesthetic components and machine decoupling. You could also see the aluminum covering which is sturdy enough to protect the motor.
The Aro Tonearm, where the turntable fits, has the necessary materials like carbon fiber and tungsten. These highly-developed components display arm height, several adjustments, and others.
Tracing the days with vinyl recorders, the Aro tone has a Microline stylus responsible for emulating the "original" cutting lathe heads. According to the company, the emergence of higher frequencies is attributed to the stylus' shape.
When it comes to the power supply, the Naim turntable has an NPX TT source. It also sports the NVC TT phono stage to suit Naim's trademark. Clearaudio developed the Equinox cartridge and Aro arm for the design. The German manufacturer has been existing for many years to amplify the improvements of some of the audio equipment.
For more than two years, Naim has collaborated with Clearaudio to make the Solstice Special turntable. For the first time in 50 years, the good quality of sound has been delivered to the pioneer turntables. Clearaudio made sure that the Solstice record player will be packed with top specs for its price.
The phono stage has been reliant on the DR Technology which is Naim's flagship amplifier. It sports huge head amplifiers and a super low-noise design. The said technology was also utilized by the power supply.
For accessories, the Solstice package features a digital stylus gauge, three hex drivers, bubble level, dust protector, and a vinyl adjustment tool.
You could now pre-order it from the official store of Naim. The Solstice Special Edition package's availability will begin in the latter part of July. For its price, it would cost $20,000 (£16,000 / €17,000), Forbes reported.
