CABLE SURVEY

[Damon]

Naim amps do not have an output zobel network iirc. This is a choice which was made for SQ grounds, by the founder, decades ago.
What it does mean, though, is that without the correct loudspeaker cable load the amp can go unstable at supersonic frequencies .......
Personally I can't understand how a Devialet, with its unconditional stability and ultra low output impedance, would be effected by a properly terminated cable of adequate gauge, but I completely understand why Naim and Spectral could and do sound different with different cables.

Ah, that must be a 'no' vote. I was simply explaining my experience with speaker cables and the change in sound quality. Other cables in the system may or may not make any difference; others, on other forums, do believe the quality of say, ethernet cables makes an audible difference. As to that, I have no idea. No idea about the Devialet, either. But I suspect that most owners are using 'decent' lamp cord at least. My local dealer is demonstrating the Devialet with Nordost speaker cables that cost about $400.00, so not a bank-breaking recommendation from him.
