Chord Company debuts new Sarum T cable range

Chord Company has launched the Sarum T range of analogue and digital cables. Comprising a mains power cable, analogue interconnect with RCA, XLR or DIN terminations, digital interconnect (S/PDIF, AES/EBU or BNC) and speaker cable with banana or spade connections, the range uses Chord's proprietary Taylon insulation material in a drive for a major performance upgrade over the company's existing Sarum range.

Until now, Taylon has been reserved for use in Chord's flagship ChordMusic range. Sarum T brings the technology down into a more affordable range of products.

Of course, 'affordable' is a relative term. The Sarum T range starts at £1800 for a 1.5m pair of speaker cables, while the audio interconnects (both analogue and digital) start at £2100 per metre. So the system you're joining together had better be something special.

Simon Lucas is a technology journalist, with a strong emphasis on the audio/video side of consumer electronics and home entertainment, and has been since 2003. He worked for more than 14 years at What Hi-Fi?, the last six of which were spent as the editor of the magazine and website. Since then he's written for Wired, The Guardian, TechRadar, Stuff, GQ and many more besides. 

In the course of his career he's developed a pretty deep understanding of the way both the publishing and the electronics industries function, as well as the sort of intimate knowledge of audio products (both specific and general) that can make people very wary of him at parties.
