Reviews for QED Genesis Silver Spiral Speaker Cable - Custom Length

Excellent cables for the price and perfect service.

I'm really satisfied because QED Genesis are excellent cables for the price and Futureshop service has been perfect. Thank you!

Speaker with High Transparency, Dynamic, and Fidelity at reasonable price! . I have order both XT400 and GSS, both are great and I will prefer GSS if you are looking for better tonal balance.

Outstanding. I purchased this cable after reading the white papers on the science and technology behind the construction of the cable. There are two important factors in any cable. Resistance and capacitance. Inductance is the alter-ego of capacitance. I have heard cables which sounded very dull and flat. It was my introduction to how the sound of music can indeed be affected by cable. I do not have a $200,000 system, but a very modest system that I carefully put together.

PI had tried the Revelation cables a few years ago and thought they were excellent. So, new speakers brought the desire to upgrade cables. Andrew Singer of Sound by Singer said in an interview that expensive cables do not matter. Buy what you can afford and be happy. The innuendo was that the more expensive the cable gets the less you get from it. The "law" of diminishing returns. If my entire system is $20,000, does it pay to buy cables valued at $3,000? Hell No.

I purchased the Signature Silver Genesis without expectation bias. I simply listened for a few months and new I made the right decision. It is better than Revelation in that I hear a little better detail and "aire." This isn't brightness, but an unleashing of the recording. I listen using Tidal MQA encoded files, CDs and vinyl. MQA is amazing, the stage literally unfolded in my room, side to side and front to back. It wasn't 3d, but a replication of recording space. Live recordings were especially affected. Some may say MQA is a gimmick, but I've read that white paper as well. and the science makes sense. Everyone has an opinion, just like you know what. Many stink, some are legitimate. It is funny how guys talk about audio reproduction using made up nebulous words coined by reviewers. Words that mean different things and could be interpreted by different people. Words such as "aire." Anyway, The Genesis is a great cable, period No need to upgrade unless I want to try the Supremus. But, I don't think I need to.

I want to add that Future Shop is a great dealer. I ordered my cable, had it burned in and it arrived within 2 days to the U.S. after burn-in was completed. WTH? How do they do that? Is "burn in" real? Don't care, it was free! Very pleased.

Excellent seller & excellent product !. Outstanding cables , very good for my Tannoy Dimmension 12 speakers connected at NAD reference serie CD & AMP .

I have been using QED's Reference Silver Anniversary XT speaker cables and decided to upgrade to this product.

Overall sound tendency was almost the same but the new cables have more precise resolusion and more resonance. Furthermore these cable shows me their ability to play more subtle, warm and extended low sounds.

I have to mention that whenever I asked futureshop about the shipping process along with quantity change while ordering I have been satisfied every time I make phone calls and ask something.

Exelent cable.i'm very pleased to have it.

High end speaker cable. I bought it for use with "B & W 805 D 3". That is why British speakers want to match UK cables.

I wanted to use the cable that adopted the "AIRLOC" plug, so I chose QED's high-end cable.

The sound quality is great with thick sound, I am satisfied with the clear sound and good sound localization.

I was surprised by the bass sound which I can not imagine as a small book shelf type speaker.

When purchasing this cable in Japan, it is very expensive so I decided to import it from the UK.

I am satisfied with the price, so I would like to purchase another item this time.

Thank you for a wonderful product.

Excellent product and customer service.. Having been in audio industry for a number of years and now recently retired I wanted to build a system that would out last me. The QED Genesis Silver Spiral has provided a missing link.

Previous cables were not as controlling nor transparwnt all seemed to put a veil over the sound. The silver spiral is, in my system, wonderfully clear without any harshnes that can be associated with a silver content. Just love them.

Great speaker cable, though it needs burn-in. I received 2m pair of this cable with "No burn-in".

I set this cable with my speaker, Tannoy Kensington, and start to listen and burn-in. While I enjoying Mozart's Symphony with my system, my wife in down stairs told me, "The sound has absolutely changed, like conducter changed from somebody to Herbert von Karajan!" I wonder what happens after burn-in has finished.

Thank you very much for the great speaker cable!

Product is very good indeed. It's a pity I cannot mark this review by separate headings; only one overall mark. The reason being; the product is afultless. The delivery of the product was terrible, with poor customer service. I paid over £8 to have my order delivered "guaranteed next day". First problem; they can't actually deliver that particular product the next day (as they explained to me) because it takes too long to cut it and make it up. They agreed to refund my £8 as one would expect. Unfortunately, the second blunder was to follow. Having falsely claimed they could deliver guaranteed next-day, which is not actually achievable, my expectation as one would expect is that it will therefore arrive the day after that. Regrettably this is not so. Once you get your refund back, instead of trying to do the best for me having been disappointed initially and already let-down once, they explained to me, the order is thrown to the back of queue and regarded as a three day delivery. So I had wasted not one, but TWO days off work, sat in my home, waiting for a delivery that never arrived. Really BAD.
