Speaker cable

Perhaps in your case with Naim equipment but you are, of course, entitled to your opinion.
Thanks Al ears

I’m convinced that NACA5 cable goes very well with my XS3 amplifier and out to my ATC’s

However if I were to rebuild a SET amplifier based system again, with very sensitive speakers, I would choose TQ Ultra Black cable once again

Precisely!
Try A. Try B. Try C. Try D. Can I got back to B please? Now D? Now B? Now back to B again? Now C?

Just doesn't work. I've seen way too many people end up confused because they lose track of what they've listened to. Just compare two. Back and forth as much as you like, there's only two. Then try a different two. Or a 'winner stays on' format. Doesn't matter. Just two at a time.

Absolutely agree

I don’t think listening to more than two choices of anything Hifi related is a good thing..whether that’s amplifiers, cd players etc etc or indeed interconnect cables or speaker cables as it just gets too confusing
 
Now that I´m here, let me add, as reaction to the YT clip posted earlier:
If a cable changes the sound (let me be positive and say it improves the sound), your hardware (amp, speakers, cd-player, headphones) are basically flawed products. There´s something wrong with them.

I sort of agree but is it not true to say that all of those products you listed are flawed in some way else we would all have perfect products?

This would mean that by combining two or more such non-perfect products would affect the sound in either an advantageous way or the opposite of course. For example I understand that certain Naim amps have a particular configuration that requires the right sort of speaker cables?
