Dear all,

A friend of mine suggested using QED silver Anniversary XT for my
speaker cables. Having used Chords Chameleons for interconnects I have
some how developed a soft corner for Chord Company cables.

Any suggestions on which of the Chord speaker cables would match the
rave reviews and sound quality of QED Silvers?


Oh dear.

This usenet group is a place which inhabitants occasionally declare

1. All CD players sound the same.
2. All Cables sound the same.
3. All Amplifiers sound the same.
4. All DACs sound the same.
5. Russ Andrews is a crook.


The usual statement for 2 is
"All cables with the same lumped parameter values for L,C and R sound
the same."
And for 4
"All competently designed amplifiers used within their design limits ... "

There are plenty of people here who can advise on how to set up tests
to demonstrate the differences between equipment.
There are also plenty of people who refuse to do any such tests and say that
two devices are like chalk and cheese so tests are unnecessary.
