Chord Anthem with 5 series?
Posted by: Pearcy on 06 June 2003
just that I've got the opportunity to purchase a 2nd hand one at a fairly good price 2nd hand... (these are £300 new!)
I'm using the new Naim 5 series bits & have tried a Chord Solid which is the recommended cable to use with Naim stuff (well from the chord range anyway). The solid I felt gave an overly rich mid range, so that certain female vocals were a little coloured. There was a bit more detail, but it didn't match quite as well as the standard Naim (read Chord Chrystalis) cable in overall terms.
The standard Naim cable does fit very well with the Naim stuff (obviously!), but it is slighlty ruff around the edges compared to certain other cables I have tried in the past but with different equipment.
I suppose what I am looking for from an interconnect is transparancy & more detail, but without adding it's own 'character'
Anyone had any experience with the Anthem together with Naim stuff? -particularly the current line -due to its different character
