Alright the test is off until I secure different color lab coats and rose colored glasses. Then I will put this debate to rest.

Now now,just pull the thing out,stick the other one in,and sit back and listen to the "broken" sound the stock cable delivers.

I actually put my stock cables and NACA5 cables back into my system a few weeks back to satisfy my curiosity. Unfortunately, I'm not able to report the results as it will be pointed out that I'm unqualified to undertake report on such a test without my unconscious bias causing misreporting of the worse kind.

I stand by what I heard

super lumina makes hi line sound broken

And the cliche of the month award goes to..................

Somehow if it were a Sarum thread there would be a lot less cable denying 

SL IC exchange has taken place. Standard IC is in. First song and I can't tell a difference. I will keep it this way until Sunday then switch back to SL IC. That will tell the tale I suppose.

If you can't tell the difference, do you have your lab coat buttoned up the right way, I have to ask?

On another, just as serious, tack... I found the Chord Music provided a tangible upgrade to my SuperLumia when used to connect my NDS to 552... the difference, I thought, was worth the extra wonga, so the S/L went back for a full price part-ex to that wonderful dealer in Leicester whose name has something to do with cymbols.

I should add that I've kept the S/L that connects my LP12 to the 552... that combination makes very nice music.

During my lab experiments over the next few days I will be sure to have all lab coats properly buttoned and rose tinted glasses on. 

Lab coat made of benign electrical, magnetic and voodoo material please Mr S

so what did what the Chord Music do better than SL?

It is reassuring though, as it costs DOUBLE the price of the already damn expensive SL.

at 3800 GBP per meter, this ain't no joke. for that money, it better make the music orgasmic 

or at the very least, sound like the 500 to 500 DR upgrade?

As I keep saying, nobody likes paying that kind of money for a cable.

But if it isn't broken then how can it sound broken as broken means not working?

Ha ha ha

there were 3 of us in the room

all agreed the hi line sounded much inferior, veiled, congested, than the SL

accept it, it's a superb interconnect 

not sure why this is so difficult to hear

its very obvious and audible

bloody well should be for a 2000 gbp cable 

You know, when I first replaced my aging QED Qudos speaker cable with NACA5, the system sounded broken.  When I put the right speakers on the end of it, it sounded completely unbroken.  Hmmm?

Since when has "veiled, congested or much inferior" got anything to do with "broken" ?

Is "broken" just a hifi slang

Is broken no longer a defect/faulthy item ?

Or just broke which most of us are after a visit to a Naim dealer.

Broken is just hi fi slang
