[QUOTE="Norval, post: 951143, member: 62"] As Hi-Phibian pointed out, they do specify a minimum lenght of 3,5 meter, and max of 20 meter, and preferably Naim cable like NAC A5. You mentioned in an earlier post that the cable run (send and return for lack of a better description) would oppose each others inductance. That makes sense then that the Naim cable's are similar to the Van Den Hull cables with a space between the conductors. No, just the low-capacitance cable at min length are recommended. I might have incorrectly indicated that there is no zobel, it seems its only the output inductor that they prefer to replace with a specified min cable length. This is a quote from a guy on the Naim forum: "Naim power amplifiers do not have extra inductance networks in the output. Naim prefer the more elegant solution of allowing the speaker cable to provide the correct inductance and capacitance. To do so, a minimum of 3.5 metres per channel of NACA4 or NACA5 cable is required" see the complete post below: https://community.naimaudio.com/t/speaker-cable-for-naim-power-amplifiers/87 It is something I read, but could very well be someones opinion. I think probably a point one should rather ignore, as I see no reference made by Naim in this regard. [/QUOTE]
