should I upgrade my speaker cable to super lumina?

I'm wondering why you are considering spending such a disproportionately large sum on money on these (more than half the cost of a Superuniti.) Having said that, I'm also a little curious! Let us know what you think if you audition them.

If you need new cables anyway, and are intending to climb the upgrade ladder, maybe it would make sense?

 

You might get a better response in Hi-Fi Corner as it's not a streaming issue?

For most people upgrading to SL is going to be cheaper than a source or power supply upgrade. Try it out. You might like it!

This has to be a wind up (???)

It will double the value of your setup & will sound just like - a SuperUniti.

Until one has heard the impact, one cannot know. Two 3m SL cables would cost £1,800, which sounds like a huge sum, in the context of the Superuniti's £3,600 price, but it's half the cost of adding a 250.2 power amp and may or may not make as much difference. The only way to tell is to try.

It will be interesting to see, in the course of time, how far down the Naim ladder these cables go. I suspect it won't be this far, but who knows? Has anybody Powerlined a Unitiqute?

People use a £500 powerline with a £300 napsc.......

The OP may not want to move beyond a SU as it makes a nice simple one box system. Whilst i agree, money could be spent elsewhere upgrading and adding other components, adding SL cables, Powerline etc are certainly making the best of the SU.

 

Whether this is the good value, well only the OP can decide by auditioning
