Chord The Company C-LINE1 C-Line RCA Interconnect - 1m pair

I had a pair of red chord cables I got off eBay years ago the plugs of which broke on one when I tried to remove it. So I treated myself to this one. I connected them to my Eversolo DMP-6 and the difference is easily noticeable. Voices are clearer and bass is tightened. Separation is better. Before, bass made singers voices a bit unclear. Now they sound a bit louder because they are clearer. Guitars on Dire Straits songs are no longer muffling the voices a bit. This is the first time I’ve noticed an improvement after installing an interconnect cable pair. They are well worth the price. My old chord red coloured ones were very tight to come out. These went in snug, but not too tight. Very good cables and very recommended.

I have Chord Speaker Cables and they were a major investment that’s proven to be worthwhile for the last 5 years and really good with my new higher quality speakers.Having read the reviews with a bit of scepticism, I decided to try a 1 metre Chord cable to connect my iFi Signature DAC (a very good DAC) to a Marantz 8006 amp (also very good and pure analogue). Within a minute I could tell these new phono cables are something special. Using Apple Classical at very HiRes and their master quality recordings, the instrument positioning, the depth of soundstage, the realism of solo piano works, all were simply astonishing.I was using the nice Amazon Basic gold plated cables which are much better than the ones supplied by Marantz. However, these Chords are I’d say 50 to 60% better than the Amazon ones at this level of hifi.On reflection, given my stereo set up cost me £5+k maybe I should have bought these cables at the start. I’ll definitely buy a set for my CD to amp and for the front channel from my AV amp into my 8006. It’s another £100 but a system is as good as its weakest link.In my system’s case it was the phono cabling.I live and learn…..

Reasonably priced and well made RCA cables.The male terminals fit my external DAC and amplifier snugly. What is praiseworthy is that the cables are separate, not conjoined, which makes them far easier to connect to devices.

The cable arrived promptly. I have only used the cables for around 25 hours and so they are not burnt in yet. However, my early impressions are of a clear and dynamic sound that may not be suitable for already bright sounding systems. However, the sound may settle a little in time. But I do like it and it may be a good match for connection of a phono amp to an integrated amp .

These are great cables at first I had the cables the wrong way around because the end with the arrows going down away from you I thought they went into the amplifier but I’ve been told they go into the cd player or your record player or whatever since changing them to the right end they sound great so I give them five stars before I only gave them three stars because I had trouble getting them to work and when I did get them to work they sounded not very good but now they sound great they have brought my cds alive I didn’t think that cables can make that much difference but they do.

Not cheap but makes music come out the other end.Is it better than a cheap cable? I’ve no idea but when you invest in quality sound systems they say it’s best to buy premium cables.

The cost to benefit ratio with these cables is quite astonishing. I thought there would be some improvent over the bog standard, cheap interconnects I had, but I was quite taken aback but just how much more clarity, detail and sheer spaciousness there was to the music right from the outset. For just over £40 a pair you'd be hard pushed to find a more cost effective way to improve the sound of your hifi system.

They are ok. However I found that the qed cables I already have sound better and feel better made. Unfortunately like alot of hifi gear they are made in China but qed are actually made in uk
