Cabling Recommendations
Looking for your recommendations for connecting:
Some of Synergistic Research’s upper-end cables probably deserve a try-out. I assume that most of the really stupid answers in this post are simply because of the monumental ignorance of the people responding. @mrskeptic , we’re all looking directly at you. Didn’t your mother ever teach you that it’s better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt? @tablejockey , you’re wrong. They’re not a quarter of a million dollar speakers ($250,000), they’re $279,998 speakers. LOL. |
Hello mrrobot I too have the Naim Statements (previously had the 500/552) with a CD555 and 2 555PSs with custom made Grandinote Mach 36 speakers. I had the standard Naim cables as well as the Naim Powerline and Hi-line interconnects. When I switched out the Naim cables, one at a time, with Luna Noir cables (speaker, powerline, interconnect and XLRs) I was floored with the improvement. It was like listening to an entirely upgraded system.
I would strongly recommend trying the Lunas. If you contact Danny Labrecque (the owner and designer (as well as the hand builder) of Luna Cables, he would probably be willing to loan you samples to see for yourself. Danny used to be a Naim tech so he is intimately familiar with all things Naim. Luna is located near Quebec, Canada.
Good luck, Mitch |
@mrrobot It would be helpful to know your budget, otherwise you'll get suggestions from bargains and favorites to cost-no-object. Looking at your specific component reviews may list cabling that can suit your needs. Inquiring at Focal and/or Niam specific forums may have cabling suggestions. If possible, it's usually best to try before you buy, allowing enough time for the component to break in to reveal it's true performance. |
@twoleftears ”it’s amazing to see how many uses a wire hanger has.”
Now Now Master Ears , They may have been Cryo’d , possibly even OFC or even bettererrr OCC coat hangers in a previous life. |
