Grahams Hi-Fi

Big News!!

We are excited to announce that after almost a century in the Islington area, Grahams is moving to a new location

We took a look at the recently released Naim Uniti Nova PE to see what improvements had been made and what you can expect!

Naim Uniti Nova PE - First Thoughts We run through the features and changes on the recently released Naim Uniti Nova PE.

Our all-new, flagship Klimax Solo 800 mono amplifier features a very special variant of the Utopik power supply technology. It provides the best of both worlds, generating 2kW maximum power output whilst retaining speed, responsiveness and consummate efficiency. It maintains an extremely steady output voltage; the rails perform consistently in the face of dramatic loading changes.

What’s more, if the mains input varies, the output won’t – remaining stable and ultrapure at all times. Utopik for Klimax Solo 800 is cleaner, more efficient, and remains whisper-quiet over the full range of operating conditions.

We looked at the recently released Creek Audio 4040A and 4040CD and share our thoughts on this great little combination.

New Creek 4040 Amp and CD Sophie takes you through the features of the new Creek 4040 amplifier and 4040 CD player.

November 2023 Newsletter 50th Anniversary Products  2023 has been a milestone year for three respected manufacturers in the British hi-fi industry, namely Linn Products, Naim Audio and Rega Research.  Grahams has represented all three companies since their inception. Each manufacturer has celebrated their 50th year with t...

We have had the Bowers & Wilkins 801 Signature playing for the last week, and we’ve been very impressed! You always wonder what more they could improve on, and then Bowers & Wilkins surpass your expectations. A more revealing, detailed and efficient sound than the standard model, one that reminded us of Nautilus itself.

Retro looks – 21st Century engineering and technology. Demos are available now at Grahams.

To celebrate their 50th anniversary (1973 – 2023) Naim has introduced the Nait 50 limited edition amplifier, a worthy successor to the legendary Nait 1.

Nait 50 is limited to a global production run of 1973 pieces, making this amplifier a collector’s item for the Hi-Fi purist. With 25 Watts per channel, don’t be fooled as to its power output; the Nait 50 peaks at an impressive 225 Watts, enough to drive many loudspeakers.

With guaranteed top-notch sound quality, the Nait 50 features a discrete transistor moving magnet phono stage bringing out the emotion in your vinyl, plus three
additional analogue inputs.

Hand-built at Naim’s workshops, guaranteeing a quality experience from initial unboxing to set up.

Speaking of unboxing, please take a look at our unboxing video by clicking the link here: https://ow.ly/9EnL50PaC2y

Stock is limited. Thus it would be advisable to call and arrange a demo.

December 2022 Newsletter New B&W 700 S3 Series Bowers & Wilkins have just updated their 700 series range, moving to Series 3. There has been a substantial trickle-down effect of technology from their 800 D4 range, which was introduced last year. Further Details

An amazing throwback to 2011! Thanks Loud & Clear Glasgow!

Facebook memories brought up some fun times from 2011 today.

We helped Colleen at Classic Album Sundays to put together the system for The Vintage Festival at Royal Festival Hall. It was celebrating 60 years since the Festival of Britain, so we worked with some of the UK's best manufacturers to present a fabulous system.

Bowers & Wilkins 800 Diamond speakers, Naim Audio 552 pre and 2 x 500 power amps, Data Conversion Systems Ltd full Scarlatti CD player, Rega P9 tt with Apheta cart and Ios phono stage, The Chord Company cabling, Isol-8 mains treatment and Quadraspire racking.

That was a serious system and sounded incredible over the whole weekend, allowing festival goers to listen to albums like they'd never heard them before ☺️

John from Edinburgh helped Andrew coordinate it, drive down and set up! We also had help from our friends at London hi-fi institution Grahams Hi-Fi.

Just thinking what this system would sound like with B&W 801 D4, Naim DR, dCS Vivaldi APEX, Rega Planar 10 with Aphelion 2 and Aura phono, Chord Music cabling and Quadraspire X-Reference 🤤. There have been big leaps forward in the past decade.

Obviously iPhone cameras weren't as impressive back then!

When's the next one?!!? 😜

A room with a view...

It's the time of year when it's nicer to be indoors looking out than outside braving the elements! This room is a perfect example of bringing the outside in without compromising on comfort.

We worked on this wonderful North London project with Dot Bespoke, Thurstan Design, Grahams Hi-Fi, Bang & Olufsen & bulthaup.

Always happy to get involved with Smart Technology! It's turned out so well!

Saturdays are for sleeping in... and this gorgeous North London project is exactly the kind of place you could stay in bed all day.

We rewired the whole house for smart integration - lights, underfloor heating and air-con can all be controlled from your phone.

Grahams Hi-Fi worked on the Smart Home integration, and Bang & Olufsen supplied the hardware.

Needless to say, we're massively impressed with the Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition! The qualities we always loved from the Atom, tuned for for an even more personal experience.

We've gone and made yet another unboxing video, this time of the brand new Naim Uniti Atom - Headphone edition! Watch here - https://youtu.be/FxMZLUL7opk
