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…
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?
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:
I suppose I haven’t earned editing privileges yet, so I can’t go back and correct my typos (sorry - posting from iPhone with fat fingers), or add this photo of a portion the system’s raison d’être, which apparently failed to fully upload begore I pressed ‘post’:
It’s worth having a backup of them of some sort regardless, CD’s can and do deteriorate over time even if you store them properly and look after them. I’ve had CD’s I got out to play in the past only to find they were beyond playback and ready to be recycled. Think of it as an insurance policy should any fail and be difficult to replace in the future.
