Default TCI Cobra interconnects against Chord Chameleon

Dear all,

I have been using the adorable Chord Company interconnects and speaker
cables for a while. Has anyone reviewed TCI Cobra interconnects
against the Chameleons? If so I would like to know your experiences.

Cheers Max

Well Cobras produce snake oil but I don't know about Chameleons. Do they
change colour with the mod?

Cheers Max

Try an audio forum. This lot here unfortunately have seen the light, and
won't be swayed from the facts.

Max as I have just posted to you on aus.hi-fi that you are on a hiding to
nowhere with this. Any reputable audio group will only have a laugh at your
expense with this question. I would suggest you do some more reading and
include Google search results on "Snake Oil" ;-)

Cheers TT

Tried a blind listening test the other day. Connected left channel and left
speaker with my chords and the right channel and right speaker with my
cobras. Absolutely amazing - no centre AT ALL. Perfect left, perfect right,
BUT NO centre stage. Phenomenal. Anyone ideas?

Yup. First it wasn't blind - you knew what was connected where,
therefore all that follows is void. Second, the only way you could get
that result is if you were playing different material through the two
channels. A lesser effect would occur if you managed to wire the two
speakers out of phase with each other, but you wouldn't get perfect left
and perfect right. You would certainly get no centre, but everything
else wafting vaguely around the speaker space.

Never mind how much his hearing altered in the intervening period.

I thought it was a joke though ?
