Apart from sounding great, the cables that connect your power amp to your speakers often have to be routed inconspicuously around the edges of a carpet. Therefore, something that can handle the power from the amplifier has to be balanced with a cable that is both flexible and thin. The cable can be terminated in...
SOUND QUALITY Swapping in the C-Line for my usual Van Den Hul interconnect (which costs more than twice the price of the Chord) and it’s obvious this is no run-of-the-mill budget interconnect. Its sound is extremely clear and open with a dynamic range which belies its price. On Led Zeppelin’s ‘Dazed And Confused’ bass had...
