One of the few good things about this lockdown, apart from more time for gardening, is time for adjustments to the hi fi set up. Just re-routed Naim NACA5 speaker cable so more distance from other cables, less mutual inductance and well away from the TV. Blow me down - seems to have improved the soundstage.

Unfortunately I have a jungle of interconnects power chords and speakers cables and not enough space on the back side on the system for bringing some order. It’s a problem even for cleaning.

Sometime I dream the old times when I had a turntable, an integrated amp and a couple of small speakers. I am a zen guy that love the empty space and empty home.

Surprising what difference it makes though (he says in hushed voice, not wanting to provoke another sonics snake-oil thread ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate inflexibile cables. Had some of them at times I quickly changed with more handy stuff. Now listen to this, pretty good sounding LT series' record IMO.

Ironically, I currently have an alternate cable on order to try out from a small and very good UK specialist, nice and flexible and superior (reputedly) to the Naim but with very similar physical spec. Should arrive next week, at which stage I will lock down in lockdown for a long listening session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcy62 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 in my direct experience of Japanese hi-fi I think they are looking for a relaxed and correct tone with no wow factor on bass or high definition. Love their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
