QED-Silver Anniversary XT Speaker Cable, 1m

Product Information

Increased Detail: You may notice enhanced details and nuances in the music, allowing you to perceive subtle elements that were previously hidden. Using our unique Tri-Conductor technology and Neutrik XX-14 balanced plugs, our XLR cables offer the cleanest possible sound from a specialist XLR cable, whilst also incorporating our Ferrite insulation to eliminate timing errors. For use with Laptops/Computers and portable headphone amps/dacs, the QED reference USB A-Micro B uses our Ferrite insulation to reduce Jitter, as well as isolating the data and power lanes for a cleaner overall signal. If you don’t want to meet the cost of the former, this is a cable offering the same family sound for a tighter budget, and it won’t leave you longing for the upgrade. It speaks about an improved sense of timing as well, and there is a definite eye for accuracy alongside attention to detail about the way our system performs with these cables plugged in. Nothing is allowed to slip, with notes and percussion hit with precision and intention. It isn’t as though previous efforts have been altogether imprecise, but there is an unerring confidence about the way our speakers play here.

Metre Pre-terminated QED Silver Anniversary Pair of Speaker Cables using QED Airloc Banana Plugs with Plastic, colour-coded bodies also available This is a silver plated cable, giving a smooth sound with excellent detail. The Aircore technology offers lower inductance and thus distortion by providing a conductor in the shape of a tube with an inner aircore, around the cable. Having a similar effect to the, much more expensive, option of individually insulating the wires, X-Tube provides a cleaner sound with improved transparency. Unlike individually insulated cables, it's also easy to terminate.I really would try to borrow a few different cables if I were you and try them out with your own set up. If you can't hear anything between them, then fine. In my experience though, makes more of a difference than you would think.

At low frequencies both X-TUBE™ and conventional stranded/solid core speaker cable convey signals in a linear way. At higher frequencies X-TUBE retains a near-linear signal transfer, whereas the conventional stranded/solid core cable fails to efficiently conduct higher frequencies uniformly across the entire conductor area. An "XT" version of its Silver Anniversary cable and it sounds excellent. Discreetly designed, its open and detailed presentation leaps into the foreground.' What Hi-Fi sound and Vision magazine. The Silver Anniversary XT cable delivers superior performance for all your hi-fi and home theater needs. It was designed to replace the Silver Anniversary speaker cable, combining the features of Silver Anniversary with the added enhancement of X-Tube™ technology to combat the skin effect and deliver stunning detail. At low frequencies both X-Tube™ and conventional stranded/solid core speaker cables convey signals in a linear way. However, at high frequencies, X-Tube™ retains a near-linear signal transfer, whereas the conventional cable fails to conduct uniformly across the entire conductor area. This delivers greater fidelity across the audio spectrum which would otherwise be lost in ordinary cables. The multi-award winning Silver Anniversary XT cable delivers superior performance for all your hi-fi and home theater needs With our high end USB A-B we isolate the power and data conductors preventing any potential cross talk, therefore meaning less jitter and an enhanced audio performance. At low frequencies both X-Tube™ and conventional stranded/solid core speaker cables convey signals in a linear way. However, at high frequencies, X-TubeTM retains a near-linear signal transfer, whereas the conventional cables fail to conduct uniformly across the entire conductor area.The effect of this is to reduce the actual cross sectional area of the cable at 15kHz to less than 75% of that at low frequencies. This results in higher distortion and compromises the performance of the cable. In standard speaker cables at high frequencies current flow is highest at the periphery with rapidly deteriorating current density towards the centre of the conductor. X-Tube™ with Aircore technology exhibits much lower self-inductance and is therefore less affected by this problem. The use of an innovative Polyethylene aircore enables a reduction in loop inductance to levels only usually achievable by using more costly and difficult to terminate cables.
