Chord Signature Tuned Aray Din to XLR
Posted by: phosphocreatine on 19 January 2016
I was offered this cable at a good discount for my NAP 300: is this cable worth the price ?
Thanks
I used the STA Din-XLR until recently upgrading to the Super Aray. Yes it works very well indeed, especially if you're getting a good discount. It's a significant improvement over the stock cable. You can also upgrade to the Super Aray for about £500. If you can get a home demo you'll hear the improvement for yourself.
Good luck.
Steve
Thanks for your reply Steve.
How does the 500GBP upgrade works ?
I purchased one about 9 months ago and am very pleased with it. It is certainly an improvement (on my 250) over the standard cable.
How big was the improvement in terms of sound quality ? How would you describe it: tighter bass ? Voice clarity ? ....
I'd be looking at speaker cables before the din to XLR. Don't forget that you need two with a 300, so it won't be cheap.

More clarity with a smoother treble. Certainly a tighter and better defined bass with more weight as well.
I use STA on my NAP500. Highly recommended.
Changing the DIN-XLR was a major upgrade (from standard to Chord Sarum Tuned Array), only beaten by changing the Naim PowerLines to Chord Sarum Tuned Array PowerLines.
Now upgraded to Super versions.
