”The biggest compliment I can pay them is that they simply get out of the way and let the music come through.” ’Hi-Fi World’ – Outstanding.
Award-winning Shawline – made better
Replacing the PTFE insulation with high performance XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene) improves the performance of this already impressive cable. As used in their high-end Signature XL cable, XLPE outperformed PTFE in listening tests. Superior insulation reduces interference, giving a smoother, more natural sound with enhanced detail.
Quality, silver-plated construction
Silver-plated conductors are insulated with XLPE and arranged in a twist pair configuration. The XLPE insulated conductors are held in place by a vibration damping outer jacket. Using silver-plated copper gives the sound a more musical balance and, combined with the XLPE insulation, a more lifelike presentation.
Detailed sound
With highly effective shielding, the Shawline X is able to accurately relay micro-dynamics and the most subtle aspects of music. The Shawline X effortlessly carries the finest musical timbre, making every detail sound cleanly etched.
Hear the true potential of your system, with the Chord Shawline X.

Sound barriers opened wide
I had already purchased Chord shawline RCA for my cd player, which in itself is a revelation.
Upgrading to Shawline x speaker cable the obvious move to complete the task.
Appearance wise, the Shawline cables look and feel very professional. Connecting to my speakers straightforward. Now of course, the all important listening aspect.
I chose the Beatles remastered Abbey Road. Even though the cables need that running in process; I am amazed how open and detailed the sound has become. Instruments separated, bass detailed, clarity far beyond anything I expected.
Am I pleased. I most certainly am. Money definitely well spent. Highly recommended.

Chord Shawline X & trousers
I have had a total upgrade buying Dali Opticon 6, Dali Menuet SE, Rotel A14mk2, RotelT11 DAB/Tuner. There has been a good increase in sound quality as my old system was 15yrs since I bought it.
The Shawline X cable was fitted yesterday to the set of Dali Menuet SE bookshelf speakers. I bought a set of Atacamo Moseco 10 stands, these have cable tidy system inside one of the steel upright poles. I had to thread the Shawline through without any termination work done prior to putting the stands in place. The cable flexes enough to thread through the steel stand as the holes are estimated to be 15mm. Terminated cables will not thread through these stands. I also lapped red and black shrink wrap around the trouser / banana and on the opposite end where spades have been used, this just allows for quick reference of positive & negative cables.
Sadly my Pioneer 301 disc carousel broke a few days ago. I am considering buying the Brennan B3 ripper / CD streamer as need to back CD's as 2 new one were broke when the carousel broke.
The overall sound quality is immense. I listened to about 10 different kinds of speakers before picking the Dali's, the sound suited to my time of music.

Big improvement over Chord - Rumour X cables
I bought some Shawline X for my new garage gym. When new equipment was installed I had to move the speaker location and it sounded terrible. I did some tests and found that lowering the speaker caused time alignment problems between the tweeter & the woofer. However, one thing I tested was the older Rumour X cables with the Shawline X. The Shawline X had a larger sound with more clarity. It sounded like I now had a bigger amp but it was the same amp.
So, I upgraded the AV cables on my home cinema system and what I now have is more clarity & the hiss has gone. I thought the hiss was caused by the amp but ive learned it is caused by RF interference over the cables.

Fantastic Cable!
I have this exellent sounding cable connected between my Quad amp and B & W speakers using Chord's Ohmic Bananna Plugs as shown in the picture. Very nice full bodied sound with good separation of instruments.
Customer from Kingston that is NOT how the cable should be terminated. Totally wrong whoever did it and probably affecting the sound quality not to mention looking horrible. Call Chord directly 1980 625700 I'm sure they will be happy to help get it done properly.

Costly cable that could deliver a more dynamics
I brought these on December 23rd 2022. I am surprised it is getting 5 stars. I have a Denon DM41 and a Bluesound Node N130 streamer and Yamaha BPS-182 speakers. I am not getting full dynamic spectrum, the music doesn't sound punchy and lively and lacks crisp treble compared to my high end chord speaker cable which got thrown for some unknown reason.
However the speaker cable is quite sensitive as I don't have to pput the volume so load compared to my old speaker. I really wanted to give it 3.5 stars.

SPARKLING
Monitor Audio Silver300 speakers sounded dull and flat until changing cables to the Chords. Instant change and only got better as the days passed. Great advice from Suresh at Swiss Cottage.
