Power Leads

Posted by: Nigel 66 on 25 September 2016

Dear Forum

This isn't a very interesting post, as I can't afford a Powerline or any other sort of exotica.

All I was wondering is whether it's possible to buy the standard Naim power cable somewhere? I've searched the internet and don't seem to be able to find them anywhere, and can't see them on Naim's website. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nigel

As standard cables are supplied with the equipment it's not a regular purchase requirement.  If you contact your dealer or maybe even NAIM direct you should be able to obtain one.  At what cost I can't say.

Your dealer will be able to get them for you.

Nice bike in your Avatar by the way.

They cost £32.99 I believe. Some Naim dealers sell them via a well known auction site. Typing 'naim mains lead' into Google with find one in about one second.

Googled "Naim standard power cable", and there's some available on fleabay at the mo' + Amazon stock them...........not cheap though.

I must have been using some sort of weird search wording as I couldn't find any. Will have a look at Amazon.

Thanks a lot for the responses.

They are called 'Tibia.' Any Naim dealer should have them, in person, or over the phone, email. 

There are some under $100 alternatives out there. I used  a copper/copper from Ice Age on my 110. For $89 a nice bump in all around quality without losing any of that naim drive/pace. Just be sure its good copper and only copper.

Not in the Uk they're not, which is where the OP is. Look on the bay, not the river and you'll find them at Naim dealers for £31.99. Like I said type 'naim mains lead' into google, or visit your local friendly dealer.

HH is correct,  no "Tibia" in UK.  They are made for Naim in USA by the US branch of a far east company called Well Shin Technology   -    I guess tibia is a word play on Shin

Just a suggestion, but if you can't afford a powerline consider a Grahams hydra.

They are intended for naim boxes. well made and good value for money option.

The 5 into 1 pictured above is £190
