Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

Don't Use the C word on a hifi forum!😉

Joking aside I agree with everything @Allears said. probably no benefit to changing. The only caveat to that is make sure your speaker wire is of sufficient gauge for its length. probably not an issue for you, if I remember correctly your amp and speakers are close together.

That's @Al ears ..... 🙂

Now that I'm done with the big buys, I'm looking at the peripheral parts of the system. That unfortunately leads me (you'll see what I did there) to the topic everyone loves:

CABLES!

I currently have a couple of 3m lengths of QED XT25s. I've nothing to compare them against. They're plugged in. It sounds fine. Is it actually, ACTUALLY, worth me looking to upgrade these? Looks like they're about £75 which seems modest given the speakers and amp they're connecting. Is there a tangible benefit to getting a different set of speaker cables or is it yet another of those snake-oil "audiophile" traps?

Your NAIT50 is very susceptible to the correct cable selection. As is your power supply cord being plugged into the mains outlet and not an extension adaptor.

Naim typically used to recommend NACA5 for the NAIT amplifiers due to the capacitance in the cable matching speaker load and the amplifiers output stage….. Your NAIT50 is less susceptible to the older amps but it’s not immune….

Inevitably, you have a phenomenal amplifier (it is after all a 200/500 hybrid of parts in a shoebox) and a worthy speaker, why strangle the performance?

I will assume you’re using the correct NAIM soldered plugs for the banana ports on the speaker terminal ports ?

Think of cables as fuel in your Ferrari………

My next purchase perhaps a QUTEST….
