The length of NACA5

Posted by: Michal_G on 14 April 2003

Hi everybody! I am going to buy the NACA5 speaker cable since it suits me just fine. Could anyone share one's knowledge with me as to the minimum length of the cable. I am planning to buy 2 metres of it. Is it worth stretching my budget to afford 3.5 metres? Is there any audible difference (not to mention the fact that naim could void my warranty). Thanks in advance for helping me.

Michal !

Buy at least 2X3.5m, it is recommended by Naim. I have 2X5m, but actually need 2X2m.

optimal length of A5 is somewhere 5-6m. Shorter ones can be characterized by lighter colors and more treble, longer ones by darker colors and more bass. I suggest you go for 5m.

...recommends 20 feet per side.

Translate to meters as needed.
