what's this?

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.

The XT40i benefits from QED's innovative new Air Gap dielectric technology as an upgrade on the old XT40, resulting in much-enhanced performance for an already reputable cable. Expect clear articulation accompanied by strong mid-end and bass which results in a smooth, warm and detailed sound.

 

QED XT40i Speaker Cable - Custom Length

 

Upgrade your audio experience with the QED XT40i Speaker Cable. This remarkable cable showcases QED's cutting-edge Air Gap dielectric technology, elevating its performance to new heights compared to its predecessor, the XT40. Immerse yourself in a world of clear articulation, robust mid-end, and impactful bass that results in a smooth, warm, and detailed sound.

With nearly five decades of expertise in speaker cable design, QED presents the XT40i as a significant step forward in sound quality. Building upon the formidable reputation of the XT40, this pure oxygen-free copper cable incorporates QED's renowned X-Tube technology, ensuring impeccable timing and stereo imaging.

 

Air Gap Dielectric

Additionally, the XT40i introduces the innovative Air Gap dielectric, revolutionising rhythmic accuracy and musicality within an affordable price range. By increasing the separation between conductors and introducing more air, the cable experiences reduced dissipation and capacitance characteristics, leading to tangible improvements in timing and rhythmic accuracy. Remarkably, despite this increased separation, the XT40i maintains a substantial cross-sectional area, making it ideal for long cable runs.

 

Large Cross-Sectional Area

One of the notable features of the XT40i is its large 4mm² cross-sectional area, which results in minimal resistance. This allows amplifiers to exert exceptional control over the speakers, delivering a powerful and precise audio performance. Moreover, the generous cross-sectional area makes the XT40i suitable for long cable installations without compromising its impressive audio capabilities.

The X-Tube technology employed in the XT40i distinguishes it from conventional stranded or solid core speaker cables. While both types convey low-frequency signals linearly, at high frequencies, X-Tube technology excels by maintaining near-linear signal transfer. In contrast, traditional cables fail to conduct uniformly across the entire conductor area, resulting in higher distortion and compromised performance. The X-Tube technology, incorporating poly core technology, significantly reduces self-inductance and overcomes these limitations, providing enhanced high-frequency detail, reduced distortion, and superior overall performance.

The XT40i benefits from QED's innovative new Air Gap dielectric technology as an upgrade on the old XT40, resulting in a much-enhanced performance for an already reputable cable. Expect clear articulation accompanied by strong mid-end and bass, resulting in a smooth, warm, detailed sound.  

  

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

Experience the pinnacle of audio connectivity with Futureshop's custom Hi-Fi cable service, offering professionally terminated cables to meet your specific requirements. Our expert engineers employ QED's exceptional 24 Carat gold plated AIRLOC termination plugs, ensuring top-notch signal transfer, excellent quality, and long-term performance.

QED's AIRLOC termination method represents the ultimate solution for connecting loudspeakers with QED speaker cables. It eliminates the need for soldering and instead creates an airtight fusion between the cable and plug, guaranteeing optimal signal transfer, pristine audio quality, and consistent performance over time.

Our AIRLOC FORTE metal banana and spade plugs outperform many alternatives on the market, and here's why: Each plug is crimped around the conductors using QED's specially designed tool under high pressure. This unique technique ensures 360-degree contact between the conductors and the plug, maximising surface area contact. Additionally, the banana plug establishes full contact with the binding post, again at 360 degrees. This meticulous construction facilitates superior signal transfer from the plug to your equipment, resulting in exceptional performance. In contrast, not all conductors are in full contact with the binding post when using bare wire, leading to signal loss.

While the metal barrels for the AIRLOC spades were discontinued in 2012, we still utilise genuine QED AIRLOC spade plugs, which are meticulously covered with genuine QED heat shrinks. This meticulous approach ensures that every QED speaker cable we offer is fully terminated with the highest standards of QED's engineering.

Trust Futureshop's custom Hi-Fi cable service to deliver a seamless connection between your audio equipment and speakers. Our professionally terminated cables, featuring QED's outstanding AIRLOC termination plugs, will elevate your audio experience to new heights. Enjoy uncompromising signal transfer, impeccable performance, and peace of mind from knowing you have the best audio connectivity.

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.

Future Shop did an excellent job of making my custom-length speaker cables. The banana plugs and spade terminals were very professionally fitted. The service and delivery were excellent. Regarding the sound, I found them nothing special to shout home about and not noticeably different from basic 14-gauge speaker cables.

As an audiophile, I can't help myself from always looking for something that will make my hifi system sound even better. I purchased the QED XT40i speaker cables to replace my Kinderkables. It was a bit of a risky thing to do, but I have no regrets. There definitely is an improvement in sound, as they are more precise and clear while maintaining a proper base sound as well. The cables also look less intrusive because of their colour. Futureshop UK was great to deal with. I saved myself a pile of money purchasing from them instead of purchasing them locally. They were very attentive and shipped them quickly without any complications.

I previously used an Atlas cable (Hyper, I think), which was around the same price, but I prefer this. It seems slightly more revealing, and the flatter double split cable allows for easier trunking in my room. I love the fact it can be burnt in as well, which is the icing on the cake. A good buy for the money.

Excellent quality speaker cable. I have to give credit to the customer service assistant at the Future shop as he was very knowledgeable and helpful. I was originally going to buy the QED XT25, but the service advisor at Future Shop recommended the QED XT40i. I was in no way pressured into purchasing, but the sales advisor was really helpful and knowledgeable, so I decided to purchase it. Boy, am I glad I did. The sound quality from my Tannoy Eclipse 2s has improved immensely! Crystal clear treble and midrange and tighter more controlled bass. I couldn't be more happier with my purchase. My cable was delivered the next day. Now that's what I call good old-fashioned customer service! I would recommend Future Shop without hesitation!

There is a little more balance in the mids and more present bass...perfect! That's what I was looking for. (Pioneer A A9 J amp + Triangle Antal speakers). Fast shipping without problems Merci.

Ordering was really easy, with drop-down options, though I’m sure you could call and be more specific. They arrived within a few days (I live on Orkney!), so I'm very impressed with that. One thing I would mention is that it might help to make it clear they are sold individually. Granted, it does say in box 1(though you could argue one pair). I was ordering while trying to do something and didn’t notice I only ordered 1 cable, my fault again, but the assumption was speakers come in pairs, so surely speaker cables do. Lesson learnt, I just ordered another, which also came in a timely fashion. Would I order again? Absolutely, but I’ll pay a bit more attention next time.
