Product Details
The Chord Signature Plus represents a real step forward in the world of interconnect cables. Based on the award-winning Chord Signature, the Signature Plus is fitted with the ultra low-mass RCA plugs first used on the company's Indigo cable, along with the unique vibration damping machined acrylic plug surrounds used to such good effect on the Indigo.That something as seemingly simple as a plug surround can have such a profound effect on the overall performance of the cable it is fitted to is genuinely surprising. By controlling vibration and resonance, the acrylic plug surround lowers the noise floor of the system. Instruments are easier to place within the sound stage and dynamic shifts far easier to hear. The plug surround on its own is a significant upgrade to the original Signature but combined with the new primary and secondary return paths, performance takes a real leap forward.
The secondary return path fitted to the Signature Plus brings very obvious and striking improvements to timing, dynamics and sound stage. Rhythms become far more obvious and easy to understand, as do the subtle timbral differences that define the different tonal signatures of acoustic guitars. Voices are far more believable and realistic. Most of the improvements listed above are concerned with the involvement and enjoyment of music. The secondary return path and the acrylic plugs also contribute to the high fidelity aspect of a system. Sound stage, instrument separation and depth of image all take a big step forward.
