There will always be something better - Chord Music

Posted by: Jonas Olofsson on 19 July 2016

i won't bore you all with my findings with cables, doing a big "shot out" 4 years ago, ending up with Chord Sarum. Have tried Super Lumina after that, a side step but not an upgrade to these ears. Tuned Aray become Super Aray, an evolution but not more then that.

With my 500-Titans-Melco-Sonority system, upgrades now are serious expensive. Of course it's fantastic as it is, but what if you want more performance?

Two 500 instead of one? S1 instead of 552? Full Statement instead of 552-500? Well, cheap it won't be but one alternative could be Chord Music. Having now lived with "full loom" (IC, Xlr-Din, Speaker Cable) I have to say the change from what I thought was "the best" (Chord Sarum) to new best, Chord Music, is bigger then I would have thought.

"Being there" would be my best way of describing what it does, nothing else really comes to my mind. Treble or bass, I couldn't care less when the artist enters the room. For me, it was a 252 (Hifi) to a 552 (music) experience again. I don't want to use to big words but I was quite shocked when I installed it. It just was so very, very good right from the beginning.

Its pricey and it's a cable, but the result speaks for itself. Highly recommended when you are in a position to take the step for the best. It could be the best cable for an Naim system to date.

@ Sbilotta,

I have been playing around with power cables also...

First Naim Powerline! Very good. Added a Music Line Netzleiste PLUS imported from Germany. Needed a good distribution box at that time.

Tried Chord Sarum PL. Shocked. So much better, that lead me to the other Sarum cables.

Now, rebuilt the Power central with dedicated mains and Furutech females installed in the wall. A LOT better again.

Music Line dist box now installed in the home cinema room (Naim n-Vi).

Chord Music PL would be an interesting product...hope fully it won't ever be produced

:-)

and thank you, had forgotten about that myself but my children reminded me... :-)

@ PB, try the speaker cable (Chord Music) and tell me what you think...
