Kudos cable with Naim

A quick question: I’m about to order new speaker cables, as I need longer ones. Would 2x9.5 metres of Kudos KS1 be too much for a Supernait 2?
At present I have 2x6m lengths of Tellurium Black, but I find the Tellurium Q Black II a bit expensive. And no, NACA5 is not an option…

Don’t see any problem great cable indeed. :+1:t2:

How about looking for not-new speaker cable…?

Better Value.

Make sure to use the Naim Connectors at the Supernait end

It’ll be fine. All the more so for being quite long.

Currently running 2 x 10 metres of Kudos KS-1 with NAC 332 + NAP 350’s here.

Previously used the cable with SuperNait2 + HiCapDR + NAP 250DR, it works very well.

You’re right, but I’m not likely to find any Kudos cable where I live, and I’m not too keen to get them from eBay.
Besides, “pre-loved” cables tend to have a sound of their own, depending on the degree and nature of the love that has been lavished on them (only joking…).

Thanks for your replies, all of you.

I wonder why NACA5 is not an option. It’s the best cable for most Naim products.

You’re probably right, but I need a thinner cable.

HH considers it an excellent match for Naim kit.

I use the KS-1 speaker cable currently with my Linn Selekt DSM.

However, used it previously with my two Naim NAP 250 power amps, with no issues and, to me, sounded better then when I used Naim NAC A5.

DG…

In my experience speaker cable is speaker dependent as opposed to the electronics.

I love the sound from my ks1 cables hope they work well for you.

I’d stick to the 6.5 meter length you have.

Unfortunately I have no choice - I need longer cables.
