ShawlineX ARAY Joins Chord Company’s Cable Upgrade Programme

Chord Company has upgraded its Shawline analogue interconnects with its recently introduced XLPE insulation.

The new ShawlineX ARAY is the latest in a line of handmade-in-the-UK cables from Chord Company to benefit from its Cross-linked Polythene (XPLE) dielectric and follows similar upgrades in the form of the SignatureX and EpicX ARAY interconnect announcements earlier this year.

Built with high-quality silver-plated conductors, complex layers of shielding, and Chord Company's proprietary ARAY geometry, the company states, "ShawlineX ARAY has been designed to enhance a wide range of systems, thanks to achievable pricing for a handmade cable."

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.
