Aluminum and Naim
Naim founder, Julian Vereker, immediately recognized the many advantages that aluminum offered as a material for enclosing Naim's electronic components. He knew that sensitive audio components are very susceptible to the effects of magnetic fields, thermal instability, and unwanted vibrations... Where other manufacturers bent thin steel sheets, Naim used thick aluminum plates.
