Silver Anniversary XT Bi-wire incorporates the same high performance characteristics of the award winning Silver Anniversary XT Cable. 

The SA XT Bi-wire delivers a super high-end performance at a realistic price, allowing greater bass extension and control, together with more openness and detail in the mid and high frequencies. This cable continues to use the highly successful Aircore technology for efficient and effective termination

Silver Anniversary-XT Bi-Wire utilises a side-by-side ‘double figure 8’ arrangement with each silver-plated core visible through a flexible 3.9mm diameter clear polyethylene outer sheath. To ensure correct speaker ‘phasing’ the inner spacers, which maintain the cylindrical configuration of the cores, are individually colour coded. These spacers are also ‘crush-able’ to allow straightforward crimping with Airloc™ speaker plugs.

X-TUBE™ WITH AIRCORE™ TECHNOLOGY – HOW IT WORKS. 


One of the big problems as cable conductor size increases, is how to keep the inductance low. This is vital to reduce cable losses and prevent inaccuracies in the signal transfer process, i.e. distortion. 

The normal way to do this is to use a number of individually insulated conductors within the cable construction. This method is utilised to great effect in the design of our Genesis Silver Spiral loudspeaker cables. However, this results in a product that has a very high quality sound performance, but is expensive to manufacture and can be difficult to terminate. 

To take advantage of this design ethos, but in a more conventional format, X-TUBE forms the conductor in the shape of a tube with an inner aircore. This has the same effect as using multiple insulated conductors and ensures that high frequencies are transmitted cleanly, with the added benefit of ease of termination. This unique tubular conductor geometry also provides lower flux density within the conductors, which gives improved transparency to the sound.

THE SIGNAL

1.) At low frequencies both X-TUBE™ and conventional stranded/solid core speaker cable convey signals in a linear way. This is represented by the uniform green colour of the strands shown in the two diagrams above. 

2.) At higher frequencies X-TUBE retains a near-linear signal transfer, whereas the conventional stranded/solid core cable fails to efficiently conduct higher frequencies uniformly across the entire conductor area. The diagram shows excess current density at the periphery (designated in red) and rapidly deteriorating current density (green through to white) towards the centre of the conductor. 

The effect of this is to reduce the actual cross-sectional area of the cable at 15kHz to less than 75% of that at low frequencies. The result is induced distortion and a compromise in the performance of the cable. 

X-TUBE with Aircore™ technology exhibits much lower self-inductance and is therefore less affected by this problem. The use of an innovative Polyethylene aircore enables a reduction in loop inductance to levels only usually achievable by using more costly and difficult to terminate cables.

TERMINATION 

We can terminate your cable with QED's superb 24 Carat gold plated AIRLOC termination plugs. AIRLOC is QED's specialised loudspeaker termination method and offers the very best termination with QED speaker cables. This is a solder-free, airtight fusion between the cable and plug and offers optimum signal transfer, excellent signal quality and perfect long-term performance. 

HOW TO ORDER

Simply select the length of cable, the type of plug and the termination required (one end or both ends) from the drop-down menus above and click on the 'Buy' button to add the item to your basket. Your cable will be dispatched within 24 hours subject to Future Shop Terms & Conditions.

Great cable, could here the improvement instantly. The sound is a lot crisper and more detailed, definitely worth the money!

Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!
Submitted By: John Hamer on 04/12/2007
I have been using this cable for a month and found it so good that I have just bought a second amount for my bedroom system.This cable reveals lots of fine detail in a grand soundstage. The music just flows.I had mine terminated with QED airloc's and can highly recommend them. This cable will really bring out the goodness of your system.

I connected the cable today. From the off I could hear a great more detail with much better soundstaging than my old cable. This can only get better with time as the cable burns in and settles down. Tremendous.
