We can burn-in your cable for up to 96 hours FREE of charge using our Nordost VIDAR cable burner. This is a £3000 machine that will optimise the performance of your cables from day one. This means the cables will be in optimum performance mode when you receive them, so you'll be able to make a performance assessment quickly rather than waiting 70 hours+ of usage. The result of conditioning cables with the Nordost VIDAR is, improved sound staging, increased detail, and an overall more musical presentation. Please Note: we are unable to burn-in cables with stripped bare ends, BFA-only plugs, or no plugs selected. (This does not apply to BFA/Banana plugs). Cables are burnt-in for the selected period AFTER your order has been processed. This service is offered at Future Shop's discretion and we cannot guarantee all burn-in requests are fully completed during busy periods.

QED X-Tube Signal Diagram

X-Tube™ Technology

At low frequencies both X-Tube™ and conventional stranded/solid core speaker cables convey signals in a linear way. However, at high frequencies, X-TubeTM retains a near-linear signal transfer, whereas the conventional cables fail to conduct uniformly across the entire conductor area.

In standard speaker cables at high frequencies current flow is highest at the periphery with rapidly deteriorating current density 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. This results in higher distortion and compromises the performance of the cable.

X-TubeTM with polycore technology exhibits much lower self-inductance and is therefore less affected by this problem. The polycore technology reduces loop inductance to levels only achievable using more costly and difficult to terminate cables.

The result is more high frequency detail, less distortion and greater performance.

Termination

This cable is professionally terminated by Futureshop's expert engineers using 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 offering optimum signal transfer, excellent signal quality and perfect long-term performance.

QED’s AIRLOC FORTE metal banana and spade plugs deliver a superior performance over many plugs offered by rival manufacturers for the following reasons. Firstly, the plug is crimped around the conductors under high pressure using a special tool supplied by QED. No soldering is used and as a result the conductors are in contact with the plug 360 degrees which maximises the surface area contact. Furthermore, the banana plug itself is in contact with the binding post again at 360 degrees. The net effect of this is it maximises the signal transfer from the plug into your equipment and hence a superior performance. When bare wire is used not all the conductors are in contact with the binding post and as a result some loss occurs.

Unfortunately the metal barrels for the AIRLOC spades were discontinued in 2012 however we still use genuine QED’s AIRLOC spade plugs with genuine QED heat shrinks over the spade plugs. This ensures every QED speaker cable comes fully terminated with the best of QED's engineering.

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.

A Revelation
29 Nov 2024
Cables are cables, a load of old coal to say otherwise.

Well no, as it turms out. I replaced my 40-year-old 79 Strand with these; nothing else in the system changed, and the sound is definitely better: clearer and crisper. I

'm hearing subtle instrumentation I've not heard before in 40 years of listening to the same albums.

Beautifully made and feel premium, 2nd purchase
2 Aug 2024
Verified Buyer
This is my second time buying these cables with the QED banana plugs on one end. The build quality feels strong and looks very premium. They are also quite easy to cut and re-length, but thanks to the sturdy design and good insulation, they may be a bit difficult to bend initially (through walls, sharp angles, or small entrances).

These cables are my go-to from now, not just because of how they look, feel, or sound, but because I know they will last, because of QED's history, and because I know they will perform comfortably with any high-end system in the future. A futureproof cable from Futureshop UK.

Also, delivery was surprisingly quick. As always, the packaging is sturdy and safe, and it never arrives damaged.

Thank you!

I bought the QED Silver Anniversary XT speaker cables a week ago to connect my new Cambridge Audio bookshelf speakers with my 13-year-old Archam amplifier and a basic Flexon record turntable.

I am no expert on HIFI, but the setup seems to be working very well, so I am very pleased so far.

QED Cable with pre-fitted plugs arrived quickly. I fitted and tested. Everything works as it should. There are no loose plugs and no issues, so 100% fulfilled my requirements at an attractive price point. I would use Futureshop again.

Sonically, the cable is performing better than I expected, given the much longer length I changed to. It doesn't seem to be giving anything away to the more expensive and much shorter Chord cable I replaced, so I'm happy.

I used a thick Sommer Cable and wanted to try something different.

I had a pair of Silver Anniversary XT with Cambridge Audio BFA plugs.

The sound is less bass-heavy and more natural than full-bodied, slightly clearer. Some may say it is a little brighter than neutral, but still neutral with my Fosi audio TB10D, iFi signature first version, Inakustik cable (analogue and USB, not the stock version, above it) from my audio source selector short WBC cables to the amp, QED Sliver Anniversary to my Dynaudio emit M10 on Isoacoustics stands.

I had it terminated by myself long ago, so I can't remember how to terminate it.

For normal priced hifi, most people don't need more than 10 pounds or euros per speaker cable.

For the price, the QED Silver Anniversary XT is very good.

I already have QED SAXT cable feeding my speakers, so basically, I stuck to what I know. It also tells that I love this cable!

It was first recommended to me by Sevenoaks HiFi when I bought my system. I remember when I was setting it up and decided for a giggle to use my old cheap crappy speaker cable for a bit and then swapped to the QED cable, and straight away, I could hear the difference, so if anyone tells you that speaker cable is just speaker cable you can retell them from that it ain't!!!!

First time using Futureshop, but it won't be the last; standout service, many, many thanks.

Being ultra critical as one who uses a tube CDP to tube amp and ribbon speakers, I find it slightly lacks low-end dynamics, like the bass notes of solo piano. Also, on fast jazz piano, it is a tad slow compared to live. But I'm using tube to tube. If one or both ends are solid states, things might be different. Tone-wise, better than cables costing 5x more
