It is my understanding that Niam, like a few other British amplifier manufactures, does not put a Zobel network in the output stage of the amplifier, due to the belief that it degrades the sound. This necessitates the use of high inductance, spaced conductors (see link). If you use a high capacitance cable, like quite a few audiophile cables are, you would likely damage the amp. Repairs on Niam amps are not cheap. So the cable doesn't have to be a Niam cable, but it needs to be high inductance. Of course you could put a Zobel network on a regular audiophile cable, but you would have to research what values would be appropriate. Does anybody know?
