The 8switch by English Electric (a Chord Company brand), is an 8 port GbE Ethernet switch modified and upgraded to our specific requirements for high-performance music streaming networks.

In the world of streaming music, there is a belief that digital signals by their nature are immune to the failings of analogue transmission – but it’s not that simple – and even the most hardened digital sceptic may be surprised at what can be achieved with a high specification Ethernet switch.

Unique technology. Award-winning cables.

Chord Company has been producing cables for hi-fi and home cinema systems since 1985. Choosing the right cable is more important now than ever.

We go to great lengths (and precise tolerances) to produce our class-leading cables. From the smallest component upwards, everything is chosen for optimum performance.

We take great pride in our reputation for realistically priced, audiophile-quality interconnects and speaker cables – a crucial part of which is our unique ARAY / Tuned ARAY /Super ARAY conductor technology, Taylon® insulation, advanced shielding materials and our ground-breaking connector designs.

Subsequently, we have a growing catalogue of awards and reviews, but don’t take our (or their) word for it – visit your nearest retailer and listen for yourself.
