Naim Theory on Cableing


I was just curious on what most of you think on Naims' theory on the importants of having cables "specially" engineered with the other components. Is this true or just a marketing attempt for people to buy there cable?

I believe naim power amps do not have an inductor in the output signal path to prevent high frequency oscillations (above the audio band). They think this improves the sound.

However, this requires that the speaker cables be HIGH INDUCTANCE (not capacitance!!) and low capacitance in order to prevent damaging oscillation in the amplifier.

Since hyperlitz, high-capacitance, speaker cables have become quite trendy of late it's important to pick your cables very carefully in a NAIM system in order to prevent amplifier damage.

Note that Naim are not the only manufacturers with this type of requirement.
