Chord Company ChordOhmic Transmission Fluid Launched
The Chord Company has launched an interesting fluid in front of an audience at the Bristol Show this afternoon...
The Chord Company officially launched its ChordOhmic Transmission Fluid at The Bristol Show 2020.
Apparently, it has taken four years and 500 prototypes to develop (we had a preview last year), but Chord Company finally launched its ChordOhmic Transmission Fluid today at The Bristol Show.
A bit of a departure from all things cable for the Wiltshire-based company, instead we have a liquid polymer solution that the brand tells us will improve our connections by maximising the surface area of a variety of plug connections, and so improving their performance.
ChordOhmic Transmission Fluid is the work of "an acclaimed industrial chemist" and Andante Largo in Japan and basically fills any pits and imperfections on the surface of connections with that polymer. The result, says Chord, is a greater contact area which then improves the performance of the connection. The science is that the lower the resistance, the higher the current (signal).
The Chord Company states that the Transmission Fluid has been proven to deliver long-term stability for very low-voltage connections, performing consistently over all connection types, voltages and frequencies. Additionally, the maker says that the original long-term test cables (built and treated over four years ago) are still significantly outperforming the identical (but untreated) cables, made at the same time.
Price and availability
The ChordOhmic Transmission Fluid is available now priced at £200 (10ml).

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
