Chord Chameleon Silver Plus Interconnects - February 2004 - Part 4

The words kept ringing in my head "you really should try some Chord interconnects" and early in the new year buoyed with the success of my new Spendor floorstanders I found myself again in Gloucester Hifi.

I am advised to look at the Chord Chameleon Silver Plus interconnects and purchase 2 No - 1m pairs for between the NAD C520 CD player & Quad 34 preamplifier & preamplifier to Quad 306 power amplifier.

These are handsome cables - bright blue and incredibly thick compared to my bog standard wire leads with silver connectors - very excited to hear the difference they will make to my system.

The first connection is between cd player and preamplifier and yes there is an improvement in the sound but not anywhere near what I expected - disappointed. 

Next connection between preamplifier and power amplifier - absolutely amazing - the largest transformation I have ever heard by introducing a new component into a stereo system still to this day.

What can I say - it's night and day better - I play all my favourite cd's for hours and discover instruments, percussion and bass lines that I have never heard before - I am totally hooked - these interconnects are fantastic.

The audio bug was now in my bloodstream - hours after the euphoria of the Chord Chameleon's I was starting to plan my next purchase................
