Borrowed a pair of NACA-5 speaker cables from my dealer (via UPS) to compare against my Super Lumina given that there seems to be a fair contingency that seem to prefer the NACA-5.The rest of my system is in my profile.
I believe that NACA-5 is directional. Can someone elaborate on the directionality.
Thanks and Happy Easter or Passover to all.
I don’t use it but I think the writing on the cable reads from amp to speakers.
There are arrows printed on it, these should be pointing towards the loudspeakers …

Related question. When switching cables would it be safe to just switch off the power amp and leave the preamp and streamer on?
Yup, that’s fine.
Thanks Richard
Ok I did the comparison. I chose 3 jazz pieces I know well highlighting bass and piano. I don’t consider myself very adept at discerning subtle differences in SQ but I feel there was no doubt that the SL was better in terms of bass definition “tighter”and depth and the piano just a little more realistic.
I did also notice that the volume was a hair louder with the NACA-5 with volume pot untouched on the 552.
Also glad I will not be dealing with the stiffer unwieldy nature of the NACA-5
What’s the price difference for the same length run of SL vs NACA5?
It’s…if you have to ask, then…

ÂŁ304.50 per metre.
I know the price but just couldn’t resist asking 
At that price I actually love my A5…
