My reference albums for testing demo cables...A winner between Naim, Tellurium, Chord cables!

Love the ikea chopping boards under the speaker. I use them under my subs. 😊

Thanks for the vid. Really good and love the record refs. What terminations do you use on the Naim cables?

[@Markymarkvinylnut]

Thanks, banana plugs. Fitted by my local dealer. Easy to slot in..cheers

Hi Mark,nice video can I just state that the Tellurium Q blue is aimed at AV Setups & that you`d be best to try the Black mkii spkr cable instead,if you`re using a two channel system. In saying this I have read online that Tellurium Q spkr cable does not bode well with Naim amplification - but I personally take things read on forums with a VERY small pinch of salt as there's quite a lot of misinformed information on them! The main thing is "If it sounds good,it's good" so stick with your naim sprk cable. Concerning K.O.B I`ve listened to a cheap amazon buy,mofi & AP`s 33rmp & you`re correct the mofi is overblown but sounds good still. The amazon buy did me for a few years & was just "ok" but my AP 33rpm is OUTSTANDING,even the owner of the mofi preferred it over his. Cheers,I`ll wait for your "system tour" video hint,hint (lol).

Yay Mark!! You had the bullocks to talk cables and cable sound signature!! Woo hoo!! People are apparently mean about that. I don't read mean stuff, so "whatever!" I discovered the cable sound difference quite by accident over 30 years ago when I bought a pair of Cardas Quadlink interconnects. They changed my audio life. It was really maddening when I discovered cables can almost be tone controls! Ugh! I am older than you and have moved up the audio food chain. So my cables have moved up too! The struggle is real. Keep telling us truth in your audio and LP journey! Love it.

Thanks for the comment Matt. Yes, I agree totally that cables are like 'tone controls'. It's definitely a struggle to keep things real but gloriously fun!

I wish I had an audio store close by so I could get some demo cables! I built my own, with banana plugs, and copper wire for a 4-ohm speaker setup but I am still interested in trying something.

Which version of tq cable was that? Tq blue ii?

[@Markymarkvinylnut]

Yes I think it was, attractive looking cable... still happy with the Naim

[@krzysztofgilowski1736]

@@Markymarkvinylnut I was just wondering why you did not compare it against similar priced cables from TQ. TQ blue II is 4x less expensive then shawline. I believe TQ black II or TQ silver II would be a better match up. Anyways, thank you for your thoughts. I'm ordering the Naim cables to compare against TQ silver II :)

@krzysztofgilowski1736 I tested what my local hifi store had in at the time. I found the comparison testing really interesting. The Naim took about 30 hours to burn in. Very happy now with it.. cheers!
