I assume investors doesn't like the massive critique lately re. their new Uniti issues, reduced Q inspection, outsourcing of customerservice, silly priced Lumina cables, etc etc.
The change in advice happened before the Focal buy-in - Hi-Line and Powerline cables predate the event.yes, funny how Naim's previous advice to "just use the cables we give you in the box" evaporated once they were bought out.

Yep, the Powerline came out in the late 2000's and the buy-out didn't take place until 2011.
Personally, I think the concept of spending 3K on a metre of interconnect, no matter who makes it, is ridiculous.

They definately restricted free speech lately
Mention certain things - any objective critism - and post get pulled, deleted or delayed for moderation, nothing like the good old days
Along with alternative Snaic mentioning, I assume investors doesn't like the massive critique lately re. their new Uniti issues, reduced Q inspection, outsourcing of customerservice, silly priced Lumina cables, etc etc..
Restrict free speech isn't really possible on the internet, at least in the free part of the world, Mr Dane on impossible mission.
I have used Flashback before for source interconnection cables. Very cost effective and never considered them to replace the other interconnects. I use twin TeddyCaps and they come with their own cables. I guess that nobody can compare the Teddy cables with others?I swapped to (Flashback) power only cable from Hicap to 72 and cable from 72 to 250 and found both an improvement over the stock Naim cables. Yes cables really do sound different when you stop passing signals through power supplies (in going power only from Hicap to 72) and replacing unscreened mains cable with a proper screened interconnect (in replacing the 72 to 250 cable). I put this down to solid engineering principles in reducing the amount of noise interference on signals. I assume Naim did it to assist upgrade paths, going active etc but to me it seems clearly bonkers by modern standards. Or perhaps noise was less prevalent way back when ...

The topology with Teddy Pardo PSUs is exactly the same as with a HiCap etc. They pass power but also signals as the PSU becomes the link between the Pre and Pwr amplifiers. The Teddy cables are much thinner than the Naim ones, but that does not mean that they are not well shielded and so the relative performance is difficult to assess.If the Teddy cables only pass power, I can't see the point, if they replicate the Naim wiring of power and signal in one cable, it has to worth trying ...
So how did you manage to test all these cables?one thing is I’ll not be repeatedly switching my kit off and on, tho.
