I bought a Powerline in Feb but have had the house full of visitors, DIY and bits of work such that I’ve never had a chance to use if with my SN3 in a stable listening environment.
Tomorrows the day!
Will I be chuffed, over / underwhelmed or indifferent?
Bought blind as it was a great price at the time!

Preloved Power-Lines are always sought after so if you don’t find it beneficial then it’s a very easy item to move on with little or no financial loss.

It will be better but not that much.

I have PL’s on my SN3 & NDX2 and have done back to back tests with the normal PL Lites and cant say I hear much of a difference, if any it’s subtle.

Well, it’s nice. Subtle, but nice. Some notes last a bit longer, and a tad richer (maybe). It frees up my PL lite for other duties too.

Sounds like my experience. I was surprised that my PowerLine sounded best on my HiCapDr, go figure!
Power-Lines work nicely with non Naim kit too. A very decent cable and not a silly price either, especially if buying pre-loved. As some of these have been around for a quite a few years, it’s worth checking the terminal connections are tight in the mains plug and replacing the fuse with a genuine Bussmann 13A one.
Tidy job I’d put ferrules on the strands to stop this happening.
You got the fuse the right way round too. ![:+1:t2: :+1:t2:](https://community.naimaudio.com/images/emoji/apple/+1/2.png?v=12)
Hope you polished the pins. ![:face_with_hand_over_mouth: :face_with_hand_over_mouth:](https://community.naimaudio.com/images/emoji/apple/face_with_hand_over_mouth.png?v=12)

Left them as they were from the factory, but I understand what you mean.
Phew ![:wink: :wink:](https://community.naimaudio.com/images/emoji/apple/wink.png?v=12)

Very neatly done. I do have some Duraglit in the garage, so I may give my pins a polish, just for old times sake ![:+1: :+1:](https://community.naimaudio.com/images/emoji/apple/+1.png?v=12)

Ahh… Duraglit… I used that stuff to polish up my Norton 650 SS in the 70’s…

You can always resort to one of the cable burn in topics.
