Replacement CD laser pickup for NAIM AUDIO CDX Player.

Is your laser failing to read CDs? Replace it with an individually tested VAM1205 laser, dispatched within one working day and carefully packaged for safe delivery.

Replacement laser Pickup

The replacement laser supplied in this listing is the Philips VAM1205, fitted as standard in the NAIM AUDIO CDX.
This was one of the final and most reliable members of the Philips VAM laser family, following the earlier VAM1202 and VAM1201 units used in previous generations of players.

All lasers are individually tested in the UK before dispatch to ensure flawless playback and long-term reliability.
Each one is fitted and verified in a genuine Philips VAM1205 mechanism before being sent.

Reliability

Many original VAM1205 lasers are now approaching the end of their service life, often showing symptoms such as difficulty reading discs or skipping during playback.

The replacement VAM1205 lasers supplied in this listing are new, factory-produced units, not refurbished or harvested from old mechanisms.
Every laser is tested in-house to guarantee excellent performance and compatibility with the NAIM CDX transport system.

I have used these lasers from the same trusted supplier for over four years with zero playback issues.
The NAIM CDX deserves only the best-quality replacement parts to preserve its renowned sound performance.

Compatibility

Please confirm your player uses the VAM1205 laser before purchasing.
Most NAIM CDX players are equipped with this model, though some very early versions may use the VAM1202.

You can confirm the type by:

• Checking the label on your existing laser assembly, or
• Comparing it with the reference images in this listing.
• If you’re unsure, please message us before ordering — we’ll help confirm the correct part for your player.
