In the UK, Naim supply their products as standard with a Power-Line Lite mains cable, with the after-sales option of buying their superior Power-Line variant. Ironically, this would work with Meridian C13 products, too.

I would like Meridian to offer a better specified after-sales mains cable, as they do in offering Cat5 or Cat7 alternative SpeakerLink Cables. The caveat being that Meridian would also have to supply different plugs for different markets, so it’s highly unlikely that an alternative Meridian mains cable is ever likely to become a reality.

EDIT: the Naim Power-Line is similar in price to the Shunyata Gamma: I would rather buy the latter.

I contacted the UK Shunyata distributor for advice on where to locally borrow a pair of Shunyata Gamma cables for home-audition. Guillaume’s response was to approach a dealership located 200 miles away in Newcastle-on-Tyne - and confirmed his response when I questioned it. Not a practical option.
