Van Damme UP-LCOFC.
As good as anything I have tried before.
That’s what I’m using built by Mark Grant (6mm2). Been very happy with them and comes at low cost compared to a lot out there. Are we sure it’s not Van Damme cables behind the black covering of the Witch Hats? I assume they purchase some OEM cables and add connectors etc.

NACA5 is great if you want to fit the cable very stealthily around the skirting of a room. It’s relative stiffness here becomes a blessing as, once formed, it holds its shape very nicely. I have formed it around all kinds of intricate wood mouldings and corners over 10meters and it’s not immediately apparent that there’s a speaker cable there; of course, the cable is white, as is the skirting board…

Thanks, that is good to know 
Thanks Richard, did you need to apply any fixings to keep its shape & in terms of forming it did you require anything to help with that - I’ve read others mentioning hairdryers ?!?
In my opinion, NACA5 has too much of a bad rep in this regard. It can be unwieldy for sure in some scenarios, but in others it is very easy to work with and the stiffness helps. You can and may bend it, and it stays in shape, in particular e.g. with right angles. (Cautious hair dryer use can help). Other cables are also not so bendy that they easily go around right angles, and they do not stay in shape.
Edit: I see, Richard already made this point

Thanks - so it looks like the stiffness can actually aid the laying & not be the big draw back I initially thought
Right, off to investigate WHT & Kudos - thanks for the info
Did of course mean WHP
Keep in mind that A5 is good - as are probably the others mentioned. Though characteristics differ and A5 may not be as transparent as others, there are always people who return to A5 in the end. As Richard keeps repeating, it does seem to take considerable time to run in.
Yes - will do thanks
Tellurium Q Black II is very good. It’s flat and very bendy so very easy to use.

Thanks - will have a look
No, you can use a hairdryer by all means but it’s not essential. I did use a few bits of white tape just to hold it in place while I did the bends in the cable. Once formed it has held shape for a good many years. This formability of NACA5 is a much under appreciated strength.

Yes, so i am beginning to understand - thanks again
Witch Hat statement
The Impact of Brexit (EU customers only) - Cables
There will be no change to how we deal with UK and non-EU customers, however EU customers will now see the costs on our website have decreased. This is because we will no longer charge VAT of 20%. Whilst there are no tariffs in the trade deal, import VAT may be applied by your country according to their rules.
It is worth checking into this as some countries have “de-minimis limits” for VAT imports so it may benefit you to separate out an order. I am aware, however, that the EU plan to put an end to this in July. All goods will be exported at the correct value and we are not willing to artificially lower the valuation of the goods for customs declaration purposes.
There should not be any additional delay as UPS will handle our logistics and customs clearance. Whilst they have increased their cost to us, we’ll still be shipping to the EU free of charge for the next 6-12 months and then we will review the situation to see how we’re doing.
We will still honour the 30 day no questions return policy, however could you please contact us before shipping as there are forms which will need to be filled out correctly to avoid delays and additional fees. We can talk you through how to do this – it’s actually quite easy.
Similarly, with servicing items, we will likely book your inbound parcels to avoid issues and remember that whilst VAT will not be charged by us it may be by your country on repatriation.

I second the Tellurium Q recommendation. I have the silvers, albeit on a SN2, and they’re fantastic! Supremely flexible, too.
To be fair I think one’s speakers and even room will also influence the choice of speaker cable. Although my preference was for Witch Hat vs. Naim, Tellurium and Chord, I can understand anyone choosing any of these instead.
Further loudspeaker cables to explore:

The customer might find that a handling charge (for the local VAT) has been slapped on - not by the manufacturer but by the carrier (?). It’s better to wait until July, when the seller will be allowed to deal with VAT. There was a long article about it in the national press (The Guardian?).
