Les Wolstenholme of Avondale Audio has devised a great upgrade
for Naim systems that use a pre-amp, power amp and power supply.
With this upgrade, the power supply is connected to the pre-amp using a
modified SNAIC 5 cable, wired for power only and the power amp is connected
to the pre-amp using a modified SNAIC 4, wired for audio only
