Naim 5i: How important are Naim NACA Cables?

I'm thinking of buying a NAIT 5i integrated amplifier for my Jordan JX92s single driver speakers. I've heard from some that it's essential to use the NACA cables with this amplifier, and that anything else is a marked detriment to the sound. And yet I read a review of the amplifier on Positive Feedback where the reviewer strongly preferred his reference cables.

What is people's experience with trying different cables with the NAIT 5i or other Naim amplifiers? Were the NACA cables a strong advantage?

Thanks, Peter

Thanks guys - that's just the kind of information I'm looking for. So far, here on agon, even split. The seller tells me that the NACA is quite critical, but I can't use it in my system. My speakers take only spades, and the run is about 18', too long for NACA. This is for a bedroom system - Jordan singlel driver speakers, and the only place for the amp is on the nightable - no moving stuff around. If any one else has done this experimentation, please chime in. I too will be using the Bluejeans speaker cables.

Thanks again for your input, Peter
