Naim and powercord/power conditioning

Any Naim users here? What are you using if anything?
Naim frowns upon any aftermarket powercord or conditioning. It robs the system of its PRAT :green:

I'm mostly interested in experimenting with my Naim CD5/flatcap.

You obviously haven't been on the naim forum, Emil.  Haven't you heard about the Powerline?

As someone extracting myself from Naim (somewhat painfully), I would say that their stuff is built to go together, and the only chance of getting value for the price is to go all in or don't go at all.  Their products are very expensive for what they are, but if you stay in the family, it sounds great together.  Kind of like Apple used to be in the computer world.  But anyway, their form of power conditioning is successive iterations of their own power supplies, and the power cord which you obviously don't want at $1k.

I use a Shunyata Research Diamondback on my 150X and it definitely doesn't rob the amp of PRaT.  I haven't spent any time A/Bing it to the stock cord as I just migrated this cord from my Nait5i to the 150X as I moved up the Naim line.

Im running my CD555 and Superline through a Running Springs Dmitri
with Shunyata Anaconda Alpha Helix powercords on both.  I'm not
losing any PRaT at all.  Matter of fact, when the Naim guys were at my
house, they were quite impressed...
