Naim + Cardas

Hello friends. Does anyone use Cardas Clear Cygnus with Naim gear? If so, would you share your experience?

The thesis is: In the realm of fast dynamic revealing music loving (the British way), does Cardas bring some beautiful American color and texture without affecting the boogie factor? Hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

I’m running a Supernait 3 with Audio Envy SP12 Speaker Cables and I just aquired a pair of Audioquest Oaks full range. I’m sending the Oaks in for re-termination adding longer leads at the amp end to better accommodate the connetion on the Naim speaker inputs.

While Cardas makes excellent products, I’ve owned them. Their cable has Multi-stranded Litz conductors, with strand size varying in Golden Ratio steps.

The Naim forum moderator states: While Naim amps of recent years are very robust, for best performance Litz type speaker cables in particular should be avoided with Naim. You want a cable with low capacitance and moderately high inductance - Litz cables usually give you the opposite to this.

I've used Wireworld Eclipse 7 with their custom made inductor with great results.  In addition, Naim's NAC A5 is a very capable cable as well.  

All the best
