Calling all disbelievers: the Chord Company will demonstrate how digital cables can change the sound of a system at the Manchester Home Entertainment Show, which runs from October 16th-17th.

The system will consist of a Sony XA5400ES as transport, a Naim DAC, Bonnec pre and power amplifiers and a set of limited edition Elac 234 bookshelf speakers.

As well as demonstrating its existing range of digital cables, Chord will also use the Manchester Show to launch and play the newest edition to the Sarum range of cables, a brand-new flagship digital model.

Tickets for the Chord Company demo will be available from the Chord stand in the Galileo Suite. Still convinced "digits are just digits"? Then this is one stand you have to visit.

Can report back on this - do not hear the Sarum digital cable - you may not be able to afford it at circa £1,500 (20% shoe discount not applied), but you won't buy the cheaper £400 Indigo digital - the Sarum makes the indigo sound rubbish!

I fail to see how anything in the story 'sounds a tad misleading', alantiggger...

i saw Nordost do a similar presentation with their new USB cable Vs standard USB cables. Would like to see USB Vs optical for same price!

Mmmm... sounds a tad misleading ... so they will be demonstrating how speaker cable can change the sound of the system as this is the most talked about can/cannot when it comes to cabling ?

it would be very intresting if anyone sees this to post their findings.
