Which power cable?

LOL, I am deeply hurt,

At least i am not scientifically clueless.

But you are repetitive. (And you are proving amply* that it is possible to be clueless in other ways than 'scientifically'.)

*'Amply' does not pertain to amps so I feel no need to provide a definition. Not providing a definition does not suggest there is no definition, or that the definition is <1% inaccurate, or that the links to all the dictionaries are failing.

heathpw:I can not download the manual for any of the amplifiers because none of the links on the site work...

They do. I just checked and successfully downloaded it...

Naim Amplifier Manual. English

heathpw:The manuals are also lacking the usual detailed specification for any of the products

How can you tell what the manuals are lacking if... "none of the links on the site work" ?

heathpw:...which is a telling sign that they are probably not very good for a such a high end product.

A lack of evidence is not evidence of something lacking.

heathpw:So I would hazard a guess and say that Naim products are designed poorly and as a result perform poorly unless you can prove me wrong

(a) No. You accuse someone or something of doing something wrong, then it is your responsibility to prove it.

(b) No. Too busy enjoying it to try and poke around for 'problems' that aren't actually there.

(c) Scientists don't 'hazard a guess' and then leave it to someone else to do the work! They construct a hypothesis to explain an observable phenomena then devise experiments that will provide evidence - to support (or disprove) their theory - that can be replicated by others to get the same results.

I agree with you on that, science does not hazard guesses so i shouldnt either.

And the lack of technical information about Naims does not allow for any comparison.

I still download the manual for the nap 500 power amplifier.

I use something called technical specifications which is based on scientific and engineering testing of the product to come to hazard my guess about there products,

Ahhh

Well for your information, Ben Duncan made a very good scientific test of Russ Andrews mains cables which not only 'measureably' proved they reduced RFI from the mains supply, but they also 'measureably' affect amplifiers at the output end as the noise floor is lowered by reducing the RFI that enters the amplifier

I have looked at Den duncans report and I think this definitley needs peering reviewing and the results checking because i think

something is very suspect here. A cable that can filters out RF in any fashion is not likley by any stretch of the imagination.

If I had the equipment I would reproduce the test myself and check it. If you wanted to filter out radio frequencys that may be on the mains supply you would not rely on a cable you would buy or design a mains filter specifically to do the Job. Apart from this a well designed Hifi component has a power supply capable of rejecting any RF noise on the mains supply and shunting it to ground, plus an amplifier circuit for example would be desinged to reject any noise that got through and would not be affected by it.

anyway...........back to the original question.............

best to try before you buy, as some hear differences, and others don't.....hehe

Although my ears have scientifically told me in the past that the more expensive one's offer larger improvements....

You've said. Several times. But so far failed to prove it beyond the fact you can apparently assemble a kit amplifier.

And please do not attack or insult other users, as it is against House Rules.

Wonder if the instructions are hard to follow??????
