Re: NVA LS 3 speaker cable.
Not any help. But I like using LS3 cables with a Nait 5i.
Good enough cable!

Re: NVA LS 3 speaker cable.
Yes, went from LS2 to LS3 in my non-NVA system and the jump was staggering.
The LS2, whilst just being a starter cable to get you going with NVA, sounded way better than the QED Silver Anniversary I had and moving to proper NVA LS3 was a revelation.
The first track played was Danzig 'How the Gods Kill' and I thought I'd screwed up connecting something, as there was a load of hiss and distortion I'd never heard before on the vocal track. I swapped back to LS2 and under focused listening it was still there but not as pronounced. I swapped back and googled the album and it turned out they used a noisy vocal pre-amp when recording and couldn't get rid of the noise but they liked the performance and feel so left it as is.
Every album played has just presented more of what's been recorded and music, it really is good stuff.

Re: NVA LS 3 speaker cable.
I can attest that NVA LS3 works a real treat with Avondale NCC200 power amps As does Doc's SSC interconnects

Re: NVA LS 3 speaker cable.
No mate, just bought a stock length. Strapped dude so couldn't afford the extra to have the work done. When there's more money in me coffers i will trade up.

Did you take the biwire option?

Re: NVA LS 3 speaker cable.
Just a thought on the "biwire" front, try keeping the LS3 for the bass, and use a pair of LS1s for the treble. That's the way I've got mine set up, and i.i.r.c. it's the method that was recommended by the Doc in days gone by.

That is for bi-amping, not bi-wiring.slinger wrote:Just a thought on the "biwire" front, try keeping the LS3 for the bass, and use a pair of LS1s for the treble. That's the way I've got mine set up, and i.i.r.c. it's the method that was recommended by the Doc in days gone by.
