My system is NAP200, NAC202, LP12, Linn Tukans, and having just moved house I needed some longer speaker cables that were less bulky and easier to manoeuvre than NACA4/5.
Reading various posts online I settled on what I thought would be ideal: 9m lengths of Kudos KS1, with Naim connectors on amp end and banana plugs speaker end, with jumpers.
However, within about an hour of listening to music from TV (connected to AV in DIN on 202 from TV headphone socket) the 200 cut out and was extremely hot to the touch. Turned everything off and tried again next day with a portable music player (A&K Kann) attached to 202 Aux 1 via Din and same thing happened again.
My LP 12 is currently with a local guy for service so not tried that yet.
Has anyone experienced the same issue with this cable, or is it more likely that the amp has developed a fault? Prior to unpacking after the move it had been boxed and put in the loft for around 18mths, although had caused no problems over many years use before that.
Thanks.
