Q Acoustics - QED XT25 Pre-Terminated Speaker Cable – 2m (Pair) - "NA"

QED marks its 50th anniversary with the Golden Anniversary XT, a special edition speaker cable designed for audiophiles seeking premium performance at a realistic price. Drawing on five decades of award-winning innovation and expertise, this cable delivers clarity and consistency across all frequencies. QED pioneered the high-end speaker cable category with products like the 79 Strand and the Genesis Report, which laid the groundwork for modern cable design. The Golden Anniversary XT incorporates this legacy with cutting-edge X-Tube™ Plus technology, blending X-Tube™ and Aircore™ technologies to minimize both skin and proximity effects, ensuring an even signal distribution. The hybrid conductor combines ultra-pure Ohno Continuous Cast Copper and 99.999% oxygen-free copper, enhancing signal retention and transient detail. Insulation is handled by low-density polyethylene for superior efficiency and low signal loss. With robust Airloc™ Forte banana plugs, the cable provides oxidation resistance and a secure physical connection. The result is a product engineered for reliability and exceptional sonic performance. Widely acclaimed by industry experts, it’s received top awards from What Hi-Fi?, The Ear, Hi-Fi Choice, and others.

AudioQuest's budget-friendly speaker cable Rocket 33 doesn't compromise audio excellence. With a unique blend of LGC and PSC Copper conductors in a new geometry it delivers a smooth open sound and impressive dynamic range.FeaturesSolid ConductorsPerfect Surface CopperCarbon Based Noise DissipationDouble Star-Quad GeometryFoamed Polyethylene InsulationDirection ControlledSolid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and Long-Grain Copper (LGC) ConductorsThis cable uses a carefully finessed combination of Long-Grain Copper (LGC) and extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC). LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material less impurities less grain boundaries and definitively better performance. The astonishingly smooth and pure PSC further eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity.Carbon-Based Noise DissipationThis cable's negative conductors are covered with partially conductive Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene. This remarkable material reduces radio-frequency garbage being fed back into the amplifier. The sonic benefit is exactly the same reduction in "hash" and improved dimensionality that comes whenever RF interference is reduced in an audio circuit. In addition a carbon layer damps interaction between positive and negative conductors and an external Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation System reduces external interference.Double Star-Quad GeometryThe relationship between conductors defines a cable's most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). However even when those variables are kept in reasonably neutral balance the particular geometric relationship between conductors greatly affects the sound. Star-Quad geometry is not only vastly superior to conductors run in parallel but also to the same conductors as two twisted pairs.Foamed Polyethylene InsulationAny solid material adjacent to a

QED's Genesis Silver Spiral is a high-end speaker cable developed through decades of scientific research. With extremely low resistance, it allows amplifiers to maintain superior control over speaker drivers, especially at low frequencies. This cable isn't just a connection — it's a vital part of any audiophile-grade audio system. Factory pre-terminated options come with Airloc Metal 4mm Banana Plugs. Its large cross-sectional area reduces voltage drops and preserves the amplifier’s damping factor, ensuring accurate control of speaker movement and minimizing distortion. The cable’s unique tubular structure with an air core drastically lowers loop inductance, enabling tight bass and high-frequency clarity. To combat the skin effect at high frequencies, the cable is constructed from multiple smaller silver-plated, oxygen-free copper strands. The use of low-dielectric constant materials ensures low capacitance, preventing potential amplifier instability. Genesis Silver Spiral offers both power and finesse for critical listeners and premium installations.
