You can use other brands/makes other than Naim but there are some requirements you should follow.
A silver source cable would be OK between source and pre amp but definitely the Litz speaker cables could damage the Naim amps.
There’s plenty of threads on the subject, something to do with Naim’s Zobel network that means the speaker cable is part of the amp circuit and inductance/capacitance and length of cable.
Many thanks for this clarification. But if I understand you correct - and unfortunately I am no expert in electronics at all - it‘s a problem occurring when running a Naim amp. My amp is Gryphon. Only the streamer is Naim and aren‘t we talking about speaker cables which are not connected to any Naim product at all in my sytem?
Happy Neil! ProAc D20Rs in mahogany finish are in place. Sounding pretty good straight out of the box. Let the warming up begin. Thanks to Andy at Winchester Hifi for the great service.
Nice one, the vivaldi gear is certainly very special.
I have a vitus sia030 integrated amp driving titan 808’s.
But i would just have some mono amp’s if i didn’t have a turntable as going direct is certainly a great way to do it with dCS. Plus you can spend the pre-amp money on better amp’s or a holiday.
when i tried it (my system was more basic back then) going straight into the wall was better, i had to then go back to my block as my system grew. i then bought the musicworks one and it was far better
if the wireworld one was as good as going into the wall then i would agree mate but it wasnt
Technically I have not yet bought them, but I am test driving a pair of Dynaudio Confidence C2 II from a friend. The Atom HE drives them via a LSA Warp One power amplifier. The sound is so relaxed, open, detailed, musical and insightful.
The only potential hiccup is my wife who has to get used to speakers that are taller than she is…
Hello Richard they look very good in your living space. I am curious to hear about your experience. Maybe Dynaudio Confidence are a bit too much ( or too expensive) for the Atom HE in the end? And hadn’t you just recently switched to active Elac Navis ARF-51? Were you not satisfied with the active solution after all? I would be interested because I am considering going to an Atom HE + Poweramp solution myself.
