I've never been a huge believer in cabling, but wanted to try a brand of cables not seen a lot in the USA. I put this cable in from music streamer to preamp and wow! This cable just put the icing on the cake. I wish these were available in the USA so I could go out and quickly buy some more.

Verified Buyer
When I buy an audio cable I look for one thing, improvement. This cable did just that the sound was more musical and the separation and stereo imaging improved dramatically over the previous cable I was using which is no longer made. In conclusion I got what I wanted a better sound for not a great deal of money. I can recommend this product.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION - Quality product, corresponds to my expectations. Qed is a brand whose products ordered on Futureshop.uk have always given me satisfaction.

This cable meets perfectly my expectations. Clear sound and good neutalit?© , respect of sonic nuances , quite wide and precise soundstage . The value for money is interesting.

I use it to connect an audiophile player Fiio or DAC ( PC with Foobar player) to a Cambridge Audio electronics, a Boston Rel subwoofer and speakers ( 5.1 system) or a quality HiFi system without a premium .

Produit de qualit?©, correspondant ?  mes attentes. Qed est une marque dont les produits command?©s sur Futureshop.uk m'ont toujours apport?© satisfaction.

Ce c?¢ble r?©pond tout ?  fait ?  mes attentes. Sonorit?© claire et une bonne neutalit?©, respect des nuances sonores, sc?¨ne sonore assez large et pr?©cise. Le rapport qualit?©-prix est int?©ressant.

Je l'utilise pour connecter un lecteur audiophile Fiio ou un DAC (PC avec lecteur Foobar) ?  une ?©lectronique Cambridge Audio, un subwoofer Rel et des enceintes Boston (syst?¨me 5.1), soit un syst?¨me HiFi de qualit?© sans ?ªtre un haut de gamme.
