Morgana XLR Stereo (NAP250)
£450.00 – £650.00
Our new Morgana interconnect cable utilises a mixture of advanced technologies such as 6N (99.9999%) Copper continuously cast to reduce crystal size and impurities, a proprietary dielectric, silver-plated copper shielding and innovative engineering techniques specific for Naim amplifiers which could only come from a team of former Senior Test Engineers.
This combination leads to a big step up in clarity as all aspects of the music become more detailed and precise without a hint of background noise or brightness. In particular, the soundstage grows deeper and more focused. You will be able to hear better separation of instruments and vocals that sounds so realistic your speakers disappear.
Whilst these are all good things, it would not be built for Naim if they only focused on resolution and the biggest improvement in the musicality of the system. The sound is very natural and involving, exposing Naim’s famous rhythm, dynamics and timings to bring the music to life, you will find yourself easily getting lost in the sound.
How can a cable can do all of this? The truth is that they can’t; this is how your amplifiers actually sound but standard cables have been holding them back. What makes us different is that we have done it in a way that remains faithful to Naim’s iconic signature sound; something other cable brands can struggle with.
6N (99.9999%) OCC Copper Signal Conductor
- An ultra-pure copper created and licenced specifically for high end audio
- Low impurities and small crystal sizes allow for fast signal transfer and low distortion
- Copper over silver/silver plating allows for a very natural and fast sound
- This is particularly effective at bringing out minor details such as fingers on guitar strings and vocalists’ postures
Proprietary Dielectric
- The magic in our cables secret to our cables
- Reducing skin effect and magnetisation normally felt by conductors, improving signal transfer and protecting against loss
Silver-plated Copper Shielding for Signal Conductor
- Independently shields each channel from the other and from internal power lines
- Helps to stop distortion getting into the source device via the 0v return
Second Copper Shield
- Another layer of shielding adds additional protection from interference
- Also used for 0v return
Internal OFC Copper Power lines
- These are used from powering devices or 0v and are rated for Naim amplifiers
ETI Research Kyro XLR
- High-end 3rd party plugs added as standard to ensure a good connection from cable to device
- Improves stability in mid-range and bass

Genuinely amazed by the improvement. Swapped the Naim interconnect (from my Nac 272 – Nap 250) with this Morgana, pressed play and I could tell instantly things sounded better, every aspect of sound quality subtly improved. Had to phone Witch Hat up straight away and congratulate them. That was 3-4 weeks ago now.. the Naim cable been sitting in the witch hat box ever since, so today I swapped back, (out of curiosity) and, well, the sound just lost some of its relaxed & perfect juiciness. Back in went the Morgana and long long gone is the Naim interconnect..
In short this Morgana is very much recommended

Great improvement in sound in my tri-amp system. I settle down to read and listen some music. My reading keeps getting interrupted by the music distracting me!

This interconnect is outrageously superb..I have owned and loved my Naim “olive” 52-52PS-250 for many years…they have always delivered, never more so than with my NDX2 source. But the recent addition of the Morgana XLR (together with the Phoenix upgrade) has produced a jaw dropping improvement in the quality of the sound. For me it was not “straight out of the box”…it took a week+ for things to settle down and begin to blossom. Then all elements of the reproduction noticeably improved…soundstage, separation, bass, midrange, vocals etc all became pleasurably, noticeably better. It’s probably the way that the of timbre of the instruments is revealed that I enjoy the most…everything (orchestral, rock, jazz, electronica) sounds more natural, inviting, exciting and emotional. The XLR is allowing my system to express itself, reach its potential. It seems a little daft that an interconnect can make such a difference, but, believe me, it is a huge improvement on the original Naim connection. I will be first in the queue when the Morgana burndy is released!

More than 100 % satisfied! I’m able to enjoy listening to music! Strongly recommended to NAIM enthusiasts! (NAT01 + NAC52 + 3 NAP250 + SNAXO362 + NAIM DBAL Loudspeakers).

I was very impressed by the difference this made between my NAC-N 272 – Nap 250 DR.
I have to agree with John Dryer that the sound quality was improved across the range. It gives you the sound you would expect from cables of this quality. I highly recommend them without any hesitation.

Had a hatpin from witch hat on my system and had been very happy with the upgrade, so when i heard that a upgrade was to be released called the morgana i was all ears and a order was placed, well the guys from witch audio have done it again, another nice upgrade, if you have the hatpin get you order in nothing too lose as their is 30 days to decide, but am sure it will be staying put as this better still, if you have the naim standard cable better still.

Purhased alongside the Source cable absolutely stunning highly recommended, my system has never sounded better. Other reviewers have pretty much covered my experiences. Highly recommended.

My review of the XLR needs to be taken in the context of my review of the power cable. I pre-ordered both of these last year. The power cable came first just blew me away with the improvements to all aspects of the sound of my Naim 282,HiCapDR and 250DR. There remained a bit of edginess on harmonically rich treble notes produced by a hammond organ which, while it got better, did not disappear as the cable was run in.
However, once I received and installed XLR cable all of that disappeared. I was just enjoying extended effortless sound. It was clear the treble edginess mentioned above was caused by the remaining Naim cable, maybe it couldn’t handle the extended bandwidth the Morgana was passing to it. So all is now extremely good! I was speaking to a friend who had much earlier bought hi-end Nordost cable (3 times the cost of Morgana), and we both agreed what was so pleasing was the how much more relaxed we felt when listening to sound that no longer drew attention to itself with the odd bit of edginess!
On re-listening to my CD collection I have come across one or two that have a slight edginess to them – but I now know the solution and a Morgana interconnect is on order! Best wishes Amer

Really satisfied with SQ that improved a lot after some time. My current setup ND555/NAPS555, NAC52, Hicap(TPR4), NAP250(HCR200/NCC220, MAStudio10. I’m using Morgana cables 5pin-180 and XLR for the signal and 5pin-240 for 24V power. Will eventually add a second Hicap(TPR4) with a second 5pin-240 and change speakers to SBL with Phantom speaker cables.

I was upgraded from the original Hatpin 4 cable to Morgana from 252/Supercap to 250 DR. The original Hatpin 4 cable already provided an improvement from the naim stock cable. When I upgraded the hatpin 4 to Morgana XLR, I was surprised with what Morgana had delivered, it bas basically more lively and juicy sound without losing naim’s original signature and the Prat. It is a great upgrade and I would recommend anyone to give a try of Morgana series.
