QED Genesis Silver Spiral Speaker Cable - Custom Length

 

The Genesis Silver Spiral Speaker Cable is QED's flagship speaker cable. Benefitting from their Aircore Technology™ and exceptionally low resistance, this cable offers QED's signature precision and clarity with a broad sound stage and well-rounded bass at an extremely competitive price.

What QED say

QED's flagship speaker cable. The award winning Genesis Silver Spiral cable is the result of over 40 years of scientific research and development into speaker cables.

Silver Spiral’s exceptionally low resistance allows amplifiers to exert outstanding grip and control over the speakers they’re driving, especially at low frequencies. This isn’t just another speaker cable it’s a high performance audio component .This cable represents the culmination of QED research and development over the past 40 years.

 

Aircore Technology™

QED cables above 2.5mm2 cross sectional area utilise air core technology to obviate the skin effect by bundling several separately insulated smaller cores together to make up a larger CSA. If these conductors are arranged around a hollow central core of polyethylene the self inductance exhibited by the cable can be reduced to around half that predicted by calculation.

 

The Genesis Report

Silver Spiral’s exceptionally low resistance allows amplifiers to exert outstanding grip and control over the speakers they’re driving, especially at low frequencies. This isn’t just another speaker cable it’s a high performance audio component.

The Genesis Report shattered many of the myths and misconceptions surrounding cable design and established the sound scientific principles to which all our current cables conform. Genesis Silver Spiral is the core of such thinking. It is, above all, sonically accurate. Transparent and neutral. Silver Spiral’s exceptionally low resistance allows amplifiers to exert stunning grip and control on the speakers they’re driving, especially in the bass. Transient response is improved, overhang virtually eliminated. The drivers spend more of their time converting the signal.

This isn’t just another speaker cable but a high performance audio component. It could just be the most cost-effective upgrade you ever make.

 

Construction

Starting from the inside, Genesis Silver Spiral comprises two grouped bunches of conductors. Each Group is made up of nine individually insulated silver plated 99.999% Oxygen Free Copper cores twisted around two central fillers (one red, one white) in QED's special spiral geometry to minimise sound-degrading "proximity effect".

Silver Plated OFC provides greater conductivity than copper alone and delivers superb resolution and delicacy, especially when used as part of a high end system. All elements of the dielectric, including the thin, low density conductor insulation, are Polyethylene (a material with a low dielectric constant and an ability to dramatically reduce signal leakage).

The grouping geometry reduces inductance between conductors, thus minimising field effect distortions. Aluminium mylar tape separates the twisted conductors and the translucent PVC jacket provides a tough protective flexible outer cover.

 

 

Please note: this video is for illustrative purposes only- the Silver Spiral no longer features a metal collar, instead coming with a rubber heat shrink as pictured at the top of the page.

Enhance Your Experience: Free Cable Burn-In Service with Nordost VIDAR Machine

 

Please take note of the following details regarding our cable burn-in service:

  • Cable Compatibility: We regret to inform you that we cannot burn-in cables with stripped bare ends or BFA plugs. In order for cables to undergo the burn-in process, they should be terminated or have connectors.
  • Timing: Cables will be burnt in for the selected period after processing your order. For custom-length cables, the burn-in process will occur after they have been terminated by the manufacturer or our engineers unless specified otherwise in the product description.
  • Availability: Future Shop provides our cable burn-in service free of charge, but its availability is at our discretion. While we strive to fulfil all burn-in requests for the specified time periods, please understand that during exceptionally busy periods, we may be unable to meet the demand due to limited connections on the Nordost Vidar cable conditioning machines.

The Nordost VIDAR cable burn-in machine integrates three key functions into one operation:

  1. Charge Neutralisation: It eliminates charges that accumulate around the cables and their insulation, ensuring a more balanced electrical environment.
  2. Deep Conditioning: The machine provides a wide band and deep conditioning process that affects the conductor core, resulting in changes to the signal transmission through the metal. This deep conditioning enhances the cable's performance.
  3. Ultrasonic Surface Conditioning: The VIDAR machine utilizes ultrasonic waves to condition the surface of the conductors, optimizing their contact and overall conductivity.

The VIDAR employs a proprietary combination of composite and complex signals to condition the cables. These signals comprise ultra-low and ultra-high frequencies, extending beyond the range of video frequencies. The signal moves back and forth along the cable, penetrating deep into the core with ultra-low frequencies and traversing the surface with ultra-high frequencies. This transmission method generates beat harmonics between the two complex waveforms, which permeate all layers of the cable. The circuitry of the VIDAR also drives electrons from the conductor into the insulation area, neutralizing electrical charges.

 

 

Nordost Vidar Burn-in Machine

 

 

So, what does this all mean for you?

The ultimate outcome of conditioning cables with the Nordost VIDAR is improved sound staging, increased detail, and an overall more musical presentation in your audio system.

Now, you may wonder why cable burn-in is necessary. During cable manufacturing, gasses become trapped as insulation is applied over the conductors. Additionally, new cables often possess high electrical charges, resulting in a brittle and bright sound that lacks the desired detail and depth for music production.

When cables undergo burn-in, the trapped gasses are dissipated, and small impurities in the conductor metals begin to exhibit diode-like behaviour, favouring current flow in a specific direction.

Here are the physical effects of the burn-in process:

  • Charge Neutralisation: The burn-in process neutralizes charges in the conductors and insulation, promoting a more balanced electrical environment.
  • Wide Bandwidth Frequencies: The conditioning affects how signals pass through the metal, enabling a wider range of frequencies to penetrate all cable layers.
  • Signal Transmission: The burn-in process establishes the directionality of the cable, optimizing signal transmission from one end to the other.

When cables are properly burnt in, you can expect the following audible changes in your audio system:

  • Fuller and Natural Sound: Your system should be capable of producing a more immersive and realistic performance with a fuller and more natural sound.
  • Increased Detail: You may notice enhanced details and nuances in the music, allowing you to perceive subtle elements that were previously hidden.
  • Improved Soundstage: The dimensionality of your system's soundstage can be greatly improved, creating a more spacious and immersive listening experience.

At Future Shop, our goal is to maximise your satisfaction. That's why we offer a free burn-in service on all our cables before they arrive at your door, enabling you to sit back and enjoy the benefits of properly conditioned cables in your audio system.

Better to come
7 Jul 2022
Verified Buyer
Arrived in excellent time after some freight niggles.

Bi wire, Airloc crimp bananas at speaker and solder bathed at monoblocs' end. Just an experiment if successful, will remain in the second system. I do my own burn-in around 200 hours, so no thorough appraisal as it has big shoes to fill.

Initial impression? Brittle, like um, silver; reminded me of fresh Van Den Hul professional microphone cable; bright, air, like a positioned rehearsal, prior to the serious takes.

We aren't done yet, let's see where this goes.

I use it on my tube amp + Full range speaker.

Compared with my QED SIGNATURE Revelation speaker cable, the Treble has improved. However, I feel the bass is weaker than usual. I know most of the QED cables take a lot of time to burn-in.

I bought a 1-metre cable for my MA c350 centre. I’ve yet to fit it and make any sound comparisons to the Silver Anniversary in place. The Airloc plugs are fitted well, as are the heat shrunk collars.

The whole feel of the product is premium, and once satisfied the sound improvements are tangible, I won’t hesitate to upgrade my main fronts with the bi-wired version. Now, time to order the jumpers for the centre to complete that job…

Bigger sound stage
8 Jan 2022
Verified Buyer
These cables gave my system a bigger sound stage with more separate presentations and more weight to the bass. However, I did find that everything sounded a bit washed out, like all the instruments were being played further away. I have just added a better power cable to my amp, which has given better focus to the music with a cleaner sound. So this has taken away most of the washed-out sound and sharpened everything up, so I’m happy with the sound now.

Two main things with this cable to bear in mind, this cable is not very flexible, so if you are tight for space, then this may not be the answer. Also, If your system is bright sounding already, then this cable will increase that.

QED Genesis Speaker cable
8 Oct 2021
Verified Buyer
You hear a lot of talk about this cable hooked into the latest state of the art hifi system…. Well, I’m going to break the norm , the system I hooked these speaker cables to is a 1990’s technics high-end hifi system with technics CS-5S speakers … not known for the outstanding quality of sound …until you hook these Genesis speaker cables to it.,

Firstly the bass was deeper but with clarity, the treble is tight and smooth sounding and the highs were perfect- these cables are amazing, they have transformed quite a dull average sound into something special. I’m not tired of listening to the sound these cables can produce , I also opted for the 96 hr burn-in . These are well worth the money.

Once again thanks to Future shop for an effortless transaction and delivery.

Excellent cable, superb soundstage
22 Jul 2021
Verified Buyer
I have a relatively high end system, Krell amp and Wilson Benesch speakers at the core, I felt things were a bit dulled at the low end and low mids, I played around with various cables replacing the £800 pair I usually used and decided to try the QED Genesis Spirals, luckily a friend had a pair so he popped them over.

We initially listened to a Shpongle track "Botanical Dimensions", lots of layers with huge dynamics and a complex mix, it sounded quite good with the old cables, we popped the Spirals in and it was an OMG moment, we looked at each other and said that's rather different, so much more openness, bass better controlled and detail, mids were there in glorious detail, and the soundstage just opened up, I could now hear things that were being masked before.

We could not quite believe the improvement we were hearing so we swapped back and forth several times listening to different track, and each time I just grinned. Don't waste money on silly expensive cables, these are great bang for your £'s. I purchased QED Genesis Spiral speakers cables and jumpers.

Brilliant cable, massive sound improvement - much more detail and greater bass control. You would think that I had just spent £2k or more on an upgraded amplifier!

Fantastic expert & friendly customer service provided by Dexter. Questioned me about my system components and what changes/improvements I was seeking to achieve, then recommended this cable over a more expensive cable. Will never go elsewhere for cables in the future and will recommend Future Shop to other people.

The QED Genesis Silver Spiral Cable replaced my 25 year old Aparture 4+4 solid silver cable. What a upgrade it was . Simply stunning. Very detailed sound but not clinically sterile. Mid ranges are floating in the air and all in the correct places. Fast and detailed bass. Those cables let me "look" into the music way deeper than anything i heard before. Value for money? Yes they sure are. Anything close to this cable costs way more.

My system: Musical Fidelity A10008 amp, Musical Fidelity A5 CD player, Music Hall MMF9 turntable, Ascension Summoner Transmission Line speakers. All interconnects silver.

Worth the money

I upgraded from QED revelation cables to QED silver spiral and was wondering if it was money well spent prior to trying them out. (law of diminishing returns vs more money spent)

Well I can say that they are a significant upgrade over the already good QED revelation speaker cable - more detail, wider soundstage & just an all round better sound. These cables really let my system shine.

Thanks Futureshop - great service as always.

Exceeded expectations. My delivery was returned to Future Shop by our less than efficient custom and postal service. Future Shop emailed me to let me know that my order had been returned and were happy to resend it at no extra cost. Second time lucky, I now have it! Champions.
