Not my work
Some else well trained…
Pass on my admiration to the expert responsible…
Ariel, have you tried the Chord Music speaker cables ?
No, actually I’m very satisfied with Naim Superlumina.
Thanks Geoff, very kind of you
Yes, the cable situation isn’t ideal but the whole system needs a better location, which may come when we eventually get around to decorating the living room, if I can just persuade the rest of the family that its much more deserving of the space than the TV…
Hi @chris5
We all want to get the best from our systems, particularly having invested so much in them!
I fully understand domestic constraints, and the importance of keeping family members happy.
In the meantime, I did find this below in another thread, which states some of the reasoning for not coiling speaker cables.
There is a way to coil cable such that each successive coil is running in the opposite direction, which would avoid the magnetic field.
Hard to illustrate, but when coiling each second coil is tucked under the first, hard to understand but easy to demonstrate in front of you. You give the wire (or rope) a twist between thumb and finger, first one way, than the other, for each coil, and the coils lie nicely, one on the other, but “flowing” in different - opposite - directions.
It is as though you have laid the cable in a figure of eight (BBC fashion), and folded the coils together, from an eight to a circle.
I said it was difficult to describe!
And it is difficult, but not impossible, with Naim speaker cable…
Thanks…
There are videos (of course) which is easier to follow than my wordy explaination…
Look for Over-Under Cable Coiling Technique, also known as over / under wrapping, counter-coiling, and flip-coiling.
That’s neat - do you enter the name of the turntable yourself?
All the current streamers allow you to rename any input to suit your own preferences, except for the likes of Qobuz and Tidal.
Yes - through settings in the app.
Gotta be honest here, it isn’t the equipment racks drawing my eye - the kit on them looks awesome! In particular, what’s the silver and wood Marantz player?
Agree with @gthack that there are other things that catch one eye besides the rack. Nice B77.
DD93 Digital Cassette Player
Yes, the B77 is nice
Marantz DD-92 DCC deck. I had a DD-82 for a while some time back, but foolishly sold it along with some pre-recorded tapes, which sounded excellent. These have now got very expensive! Blank tapes can be bought for a reasonable price, if you hunt around, eBay being the best source.
Some very nice gear, ladies gentlemen! I’m new to this forum but not new to audio (been at it since the early 1970’s). I see that I’m going to be an outlier here because most of my system is not naim and, with a few notable exceptions (tt, but not tonearm, phono cartridge, phono stage, speakers, headphone gear and some me wire), my current rig mostly predates the turn of the century. Anyway, here’s a middling shot of my current system:
And a small portion of it’s raisôn d’etre:

See you ‘round the campus…
Nice! Epic description in your profile too!
I wouldn’t worry about not having much Naim, some don’t have any at all, some have stacks of it, rarely does anyone bat an eyelid about it either way!
Most members significantly predate the turn of the century too, and the vintage gear threads are always popular. I suspect you’ll fit right in
