RAPALLO is the best

I recently received another life surprise. I'm a qualified electrical engineer. I know the theory and practice of wiring, the theory of wave resistance. I never believed in super speaker cables at $$,$$$ with snake oil. Several years ago I bought a cable made in China with silver-plated braid from Sound Division. My regret was predictable. I keep track of my favorite hi-fi supplier, PARALLO, from time to time. I found the QED Reference Silver plated XT speaker cable to be a good price. I ordered this cable online and received it the next day. PARALLO's website is informative, well designed, and easy to navigate and run the ordering process. The first impression with the new cable was shocking. In my many years of numerous tweaks, I don't remember the treble being so clear with stunning detail. My current setup: B&W bookshelves, EL34 tube amp, and SVS pro subwoofer (many thanks to Deano for pointing me in the right direction during my reluctant audio system downsizing).

Review

“Soundstages were wide with quite good depth, it was also nicely balanced with a pleasant timbre. It is undoubtedly great value.” – Hi-Fi Critic

Features

  • High performance low density polyethylene dielectric – Cuts down on the amount of audio signal energy lost due to cable capacitance.
  • X-Tube™ Technology – At low frequencies both X-TubeTM and conventional stranded/solid core speaker cables convey signals in a linear way. However, at high frequencies, X-TubeTM retains a near-linear signal transfer, whereas the conventional cable fails to conduct uniformly across the entire conductor area. The result is that X-TubeTM delivers greater fidelity across the audio spectrum which would other wise be lost in ordinary cables.
  • Silver plated 99.999% OFC conductors – Provides a low frequency path for the audio signal and delivers stunning high frequency detail

 

What is X-Tube?

At low frequencies both X-TubeTM and conventional stranded/solid core speaker cables convey signals in a linear way. However, at high frequencies, X-TubeTM retains a near-linear signal transfer, whereas the conventional cables fail to conduct uniformly across the entire conductor area.

In standard speaker cables at high frequencies current flow is highest at the periphery with rapidly deteriorating current density towards the centre of the conductor. The effect of this is to reduce the actual cross sectional area of the cable at 15kHz to less than 75% of that at low frequencies. This results in higher distortion and compromises the performance of the cable.

X-TubeTM with polycore technology in the QED Reference Silver Anniversary XT Speaker Cable exhibits much lower self-inductance and is therefore less affected by this problem. The polycore technology reduces loop inductance to levels only achievable using more costly and difficult to terminate cables.

The result is more high frequency detail, less distortion and greater performance.
