speaker tuning
Posted by: Emil F on 31 January 2003
Just read the information about home made speakers.
Have you ever changed the cables in the speaker? For the last two years I did it with five different speakers. The result was excellent.
Of course the sound of almost any speaker could be improved with better and unfortunately more expensive cable, but my experience shows that it is worth to this with speakers up to 3-4000UKP. It’s a very good upgrade.
I don’t have experience with Naim speakers. I only used NACA5 for some bass units. The improvement was huge. A good cable for the bass driver must be at least 3-4mm2. Just be careful. The hard NACA5 could do some damages. I think the NAIM speaker is one of the few with quality cables. The NACA is used as much as possible. About 30cm of some other cable/or the same but flexible/ connects the driver unit with the NACA. /I’m curious what kind of cable is that?/
Now I have my new JMLab Electra 946 and I’m going to change the cables.
Maybe those of you who have done this before will give me advices about some cables?
