I have used Chord cables with Naim gear for a long time. I have to admit though that Chord cables, even the Indigo (?), were a bit bass shy. Their spkr cables are even more so. But I have used and still do use the Chord Cobra. The bass isn't bad and it's nice on top. I'm not sure what your $$ allowance is but I also use Discovery Essence with good success. Lots of bass and nice on top. Discovery cable scan be seen for sale in the AA ads.

Thanks, collinslaw.
I tried chord speaker cable and found the same thing, eventually settling on Cardas which I found to be much more coherent and satisfying. I think I've settled on QED Reference Audience 40 for interconnects, but will check out some local manufacturers here in Oz before deciding.
Sorry, meant for Roastaman.
I have a bunch of phono cables that I used for a while and then moved onto something else. Someday, I'll list them for sale. I have tried the Cardas Golden Cross and liked it, but that was years ago.
I have a bit of a "peaky treble" issue (among other issues) that can get me in an uproar at times. Between my room acoustics, preamp and speakers,those are the 3 biggest culprits. They probably all play a role to some extent. I have changed my approach a bit and strive for less midrange warmth but have to watch it if it gets to be too much in the upper treble range. Great recordings sound great, not so great can be tough to tolerate.
Unfortunately, there's no perfect cable (weeping noises)just a cable that you can live with more than another.
I have used Morrow Audio ph6's for years. Deliver a very balanced presentation and not stupid expensive.
