I use the Power-Line Lite to my components as follows;
Linn Radikal
Naim 250DR x 2
Naim SuperCap
Naim FlatCap XS
Naim NAPSC x 2
Naim CD5 XS
If wanted to upgrade to the Naim Power-Line for all of them, I would need eight. But if I got them in twos, what would be the components to connect first ?
Alternatively, using Titan power cables, which are a bit cheaper, which model of cable and similar question to above
Early days yet (plus expectation bias which I donāt have will power or strength of character to resist) but CHFC PowerBlack cable is v good. Nova and PMCās already have v low noise floor so no inky blackness. However, there is a real improvement in bass definition and overall sound much better integrated. Great upgrade for the money
I think you have a point I resisted replacing my power cablesā¦and eventually relented I was godsmacked at the differenceā¦I have yet to do a dedicated mains its on the cardsā¦
I use:
Shunyata Research Alpha EF on my Shunyata Hydra D6 Conditioner to wall
Shunyata Research Alpha EF Hydra to Amp
Audience Audio AU24 SE-i mp from streamer to Hydra
Shunyata Research Delta EF subwoofer to wall.
Hi Henkerino
I just relectantly sold my beloved Arivas after having them for 16 years.
I netted about Ā£145 and had to spend hours constructing a pair of courier-proof sarcophaguses.
Well done for sticking with yours.
But all those funds you have lavished on posh usb cables and power cables - isnāt it time to consider investing in the parts that actually make the sound?
I have been reluctant on selling them too. SL2 would be great to try, cant find modern speakers I prefer over what I have.
The difference from my first boxes and cables (112x & 150x) to what I have today is far greater than any possible speaker change would reward me in satisfaction. Plus everything was bought secondhand. The Posh Usb cable was ā¬200ā¦ Sold it for the sameā¦
Only owned two different speakers in my days, Dynaudio 52s and now Arivas. Both great speakers, well made and thats the most important thing.
Hehe the speakerplugs were loose when I got mine from a local dealer, so a common problem surely. Gladly he fixed them before delivery back then.
They could easily fetch 4k If produced and sold today in naims pricing
Yes, infact Im pretty sure that was the slogan marketing for them. āAnything else is better then theseā. Maybe you worked there then and came up with it yourself? Lol
Was purely refering to the inflation since they came out.
Oh thanks for letting us know that, wise one.
āNaim made some sort of error with them.ā
Please inform us what sort of error it was, so that we can avoid the mistake of ever buying a pair.
Or better, why donāt you inform us actually what the error was.
A clue:
Was the error that they sounded great for a mid priced speaker and that they were really easy to set up once you levelled the plinths and so the old farts on the forum couldnāt endlessly spout on about how extremely high end they were?
