CUSTOM CHORD COMPANY CONNECTIONS NOW CRIMPED AT DEALERS

Time-poor audiophiles can now get Chord Company factory-quality speaker cable terminations from your local dealer, thanks to the roll-out of the ChordOhmic Hex Gun crimping tool.

The ChordOhmic Hex Gun makes it possible for an expanding group of Chord Company retailers to professionally terminate new speaker cables to factory standards. Furthermore, existing cables can also benefit from the upgrade.

Chord Company ChordOhmic Crimper

This in-store factory finish is completed with the recently launched ChordOhmic banana plugs, plus the Chord Company “trousers” where specified.

The scheme enables consumers to bypass the production queue at the company’s Wiltshire factory and also negates the need for existing cables to be returned to base for upgrading.

Fully trained and certified to terminate all speaker cables from the wide-ranging portfolio, selected Chord Company retailers can quickly and easily create bespoke lengths (both in-store and on-site) for a wide range of applications. From hi-fi and home cinema installations to complete multi-room CI projects, dealers can now offer ‘just right” cable lengths that not only provide that bespoke look but save money on unnecessary metreage.

Commenting on the new ChordOhmic Hex Gun, Alan Gibb Chord Company’s Managing Director told StereoNET:

Historically, crimping has (unfairly) been seen as a fast, compromised termination option for cable connectors; conversely, this is the termination standard for military and other high-spec connections. Following a 10-year project, we have optimised our ChordOhmic plugs and silver-plated copper cables to give a far superior long-term connection over our previous soldered connectors.

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.
