New from The Chord Company

Crimson Interconnect

The Chord Crimson replaces The Chord Company's very highly regarded Chrysalis interconnect. The Crimson features oxygen free, multi-stranded copper conductors, identical in strand diameter to the Chrysalis, but utilizes a pseudo-balanced circuit path.
Thus the Crimson is better able to accurately carry dynamic information, to transmit greater levels of detail and to carry more information over a greater bandwidth. The extended frequency range of the Crimson makes it a great choice for use with CD, DVD and SACD players. Modern versions of these machines output a surprising amount of information and the Crimson will transmit this remarkably accurately. The Crimson was designed to be versatile and will work really well in any entry-level hi-fi or home cinema system. Its ability to accurately carry high frequency signals makes it an ideal cable for connecting multi channel audio players. Crimson will maintain performance over long runs and the design of the cable means that it can be configured to perform extremely well as a subwoofer cable.

Chorus 2 Interconnect

The Chorus 2 now benefits for the shielding system first developed for the Chord Signature and Indigo interconnects. The shielding system is used to protect the Teflon insulated, solid core silver-plated signal conductor. The signal return path is carried externally ensuring that the central signal conductor is completely isolated. The combination of the silver plated conductor and Teflon insulation enables the Chorus 2 to accurately carry a wide bandwidth signal.
The very low noise floor produced by the tri-layer combined shielding system, ensures that the micro dynamic and the complex harmonic and tonal information that make up the timbre of instruments is neither lost nor masked by noise or interference. The outstanding shielding capabilities of the tri-layer shield will be obvious regardless of the system the Chorus is connected to. Individual notes snap into focus, snare drum beats are properly dynamic and resonant, and stringed instruments gain real tone and timbre. The Chorus 2's ability to carry dynamic information means that music is presented extremely coherently and even complex rhythms are simple to follow. Stereo image will be both wide and extremely stable.

Anthem 2 Interconnect

The original Chord Anthem was one of the first available interconnects to use a high frequency shield and ultra low mass RCA/phono plugs.
The silver-plated combined shielding system fitted to the Anthem 2 protects a Teflon insulated multi strand silver-plated signal conductor. This configuration extends the bandwidth that the Anthem 2 will carry, and while the benefits of this are clearly audible throughout the frequency range, anyone fitting the Anthem 2 to a system with speakers capable of serious bass extension will be able to feel as well as hear the benefits!
The ultra low mass RCA/phono plugs reduce potentially signal degrading resonances and the structure of the Teflon insulation and outer jacket deals effectively with problems caused by mechanically induced noise.
The Anthem 2 will allow seriously low levels of musical detail to be heard, the leading and trailing edges of piano notes are a perfect example. The combination of an extremely low noise floor and accurate transmission of micro dynamic information means that the musician's technique is clearly revealed. This adds immeasurably to the feeling and enjoyment of any type of music.

The Anthem 2 is stocked with a black braid instead of the white braid as shown above.
