For copper instead of tin and better insulating properties than the Chord C-Sub cable, the Clearway is a big step up from the Chord C-Sub. 

EpicX speaker cable images beautifully with tight bass and a lot of detail.

A fabulous option for a range of HiFi to get the most out of your system.

Typically known for their digital products in particular their DACs, Chord has surfaced with a product for all of those Vinyl enthusiasts that are jealous of their friend's aircraft grade aluminium DACs. Like their digital products, the Huei not only has that super cool casing, it also has the pretty LED lights and funky buttons...

...but of course the aesthetics of the Huei aren't the only important thing here!

The Huei is a MM/MC phono stage with all of that tinkering capability for any type of cartridge. Impedance, Gain and Rumble (!) settings are all at your fingertips (coressponding to different coloured lights in the chassis). It also has Balanced outputs for those who are serious about Hi-Fi...and not just the coloured lights...

It produces an incredibly clean sound almost completely devoid of noise floor resolving the image beautifully.

We would recommend it to go with Soundsmith, Rega and Van den Hul cartridges.

About twenty years ago, Bi-wiring speakers was all the rage. That's where you run one set of speaker cable to the high frequency input on your speakers and a separate set to the low frequency input. In this process you do away with the high to low frequency metal jumpers on the back of the speaker.

Normally the jumper links that come with a set of speakers are bits of metal and not made to perform well sonically. The positive effects of Bi-wiring were 90% the effect of getting rid of those crappy jumper links.

These days when a client comes in asking about Bi-wiring, we make sure they first try some good quality jumper links.

Like a good quality speaker cable these will define the image, you'll hear more of the tail-end of the notes - the ringing of the piano strings dying slowly away into silence...

A good quality optical cable that's particularly useful for audio applications but can be used just as easily on surround sound systems as well. 

It's available in toslink to toslink ends or toslink to 3.5mm. Please call for specific availability on lengths and terminations.

Because our electromagnetic environment is becoming busier and busier a good quality power cable can go further to improve the quality of sound from your stereo. 

A power cable can act essentially like an antenna - it is afterall a piece of wire fed into your stereo system - and if not properly shielded, it can pick up bluetooth, wi-fi and radio signals flying around your home.

The shawline power cable has a braid wire shield and some really good conductors to ensure your components are 'sucking' their power effectively.

Please call for availability on specific lengths

Sarsen cable was birthed out of the need for a good quality cable capable of carrying all the dynamic details of your source to your speakers but that was thin and flexible and could hide.

And that's what Chord produced...a fantastic cable that pliable and skinny enough to get around any tricky situation (only 3.2mm in diameter).

Custom lengths available, please call for details.

For the uninitiated in the digital realm of HiFi, the exact purpose and functionality of the M Scaler can seem perplexing. A unit that sits between your digital source and your DAC to drastically improve the digital signal....isn't it all ones and zeroes at that stage? How can you make ones and zeroes better?

Well, it's all about the Taps...the digital Taps that is. Taps refers to how many times and therefore how accurately the unit revisists the algorythm that's going to create the analogue Wave Form from the sample rate that's given by the source. Normally DACs would perform this function themselves but no DAC, not even Chord Electronics very own Dave comes even close to the amount of Taps that the M Scaler has. Normally an ordinary DAC would have a 100-tap filter, the Dave has 164,000-tap filter but the M Scaler has 1,015,808-tap filter!

In Rob Watts own words "If you have a conventional filter with 100 taps, you will recover some of the transient information. A 100-tap filter gives you sufficiently good frequency-domain performance, but not in the time domain. . . . Every time you increase the number of taps, you improve the perception of pitch, timbre gets better—bright instruments sound brighter, dark instruments sound darker—the starting and stopping of notes becomes easier to hear, the localization of sounds get better. There is less listening fatigue—the brain has to do less processing of the information presented to it to understand what's going on." 

And that perfectly sums up what you hear when you add an M scaler to a Chord Hugo TT2 or the Dave. It's an opening up of the musicality getting this normally step wise wave form of a CD player or 44kHz back to the most accurate analogue Wave Form you can possibly get. 

And this is where the M Scaler is particularly special because it's the most accurate digital device out there by a long margin. And that's because of the Taps. Turn on the Taps!
