    Indeed, success rate has been very high with 'em in the past, so the track record is there. Glad you like them.

    There's no way I'll part with mine.

    Cheers

    I replaced kimber monocle cable with isolda 2 months ago - it's a really impressive cable, especially "out of the tin"

    Now it's run in I'm still impressed - it's tighter in the bass than the kimber cable ..BUT....I'm beginning to feel it errs more on the hi-fi side than the "music" side.

    still not heard isolda in my system thanks to a lack of length on wm's part :eek:
    naim recommend speaker cable with specific inductance and capacitance values so a zobel network isn;t necessary as they believe that sticking some resistors and capacitors in the signal path is going to have a effect on the sound.
    on the other hand if cable with a zobel network attatched sounds better than naca 5 then what the hell...
    it's not to do with 'propper design' it's to do with signal clarity and choice.
    but then it's naim so it must be bad design or just bad according to some..:rolleyes:

    i've tried chord odyssey and naim naca 5 in my system and the naca 5 walks it for the things i consider important to my listening pleasure but ymmv.
    cheers

    You are supposed to wire both to the high, (tweeter), terminals...

    didn't we try this at the bake off (a while ago now) at lilolee's ?
    general consensus was it was best on the diagonal i thought.
    anyway, both +ve's and -ve's are connected together by links / jumpers / whatever, so makes no practical difference.

    I didn't bother testing, after I was told that this is the way speakers with just one pair of terminals are wired internally, plus reading many opinions, by people who bothered testing, saying it is the way it sounds better... :rolleyes:

    Any way, diagonally makes the less sense to me... :confused:

    I would think it makes the same sense as conecting the most sensitive gear to the first sockets of the power bar, if you have only one... :MILD:

    With this level of nonsense one assumes that Townshend - like most cable manufacturers - prefer a less technically adept patron?.

    have you heard them?

    doesnt really matter what the sales blurb says, they certainly do something right.
