Don't know which "Naim cable" you may mean. One Naim-branded cable I recall
has a high inductance/meter. Hence if you use more than a short length of
this it may well change the HF response of the system. However if you use a
Naim amp. you may well have to do this.

I also bypassed the internal fuses


Bypassing the fuses might reduce LF distortion and dynamic compression a
bit.

and added a few links and cut a couple of tracks on the crossover PCB so
that there was a common ground point.
The result was a cleaner, more 3-D sound, well worth the effort, and I
haven't heard anything affordable that comes close so I still use them.


OK. Fairy snuff. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
