Does Naim do custom length Powerlines?
Posted by: Richard Choong on 06 January 2017
Hi everyone.
Can someone please advise if Naim would do custom length powerlines and if so what's the cost?
Thanks.![]()
My unauthorized answer is no.
You can get the official word from Naim by sending your query to support@naimaudio.com.
I purchased a bespoke length a few years back for my nsub. It was close to 3metres if I recall correctly. I later sold this with the nsub. So in my experience yes they did/do.
As I recall NAIM chose 2 meters as the preferd lenght for optimal performance.
Go for four metres to double the optimised performance.
Now now children, play nicely ........... ![]()

I wonder if the performance is enhanced by exponential or multiplied length increase.... ![]()

I'm sure Naim knows the answer and guards it jealously.

I found a Powerline on a N-Sub was a bit of a tight squeeze with the cable kinked against the floor. Did it work well for you?
(Apologies to the OP for thread drift.)
I asked this a while back and was told no.
Hi CHRISSU,
From what I recall it was snug fit, the generous spikes helped but the more integrated sound of the nsub was the major win with the powerline. This was in the context of integrating an nsub to sl2s.

Yes, not an ideal fit. I guess it compromises the performance of the fancy IEC plug on the Powerline. I used spike protectors (Chips) to gain a few millimetres. Once I moved to a 282, the I had to start using the high level connection, which made the Powerline a non-starter, so I'm now back to a regular IEC plug.
