Sarum T

About the Sarum T

The Chord Company Sarum T series represents the second-highest performance level in Chord's cable lineup, positioned just below the flagship ChordMusic range. It introduces the proprietary Taylon dielectric material, which offers superior phase stability and neutrality compared to previous PTFE insulation, enabling significant performance upgrades at a more accessible price point. Available in various types including analog interconnects (RCA, XLR), speaker cables, digital cables (USB, BNC, RJ45), tonearm cables, and power cables, all hand-built in the UK with high-purity silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors arranged in Super ARAY geometry. This configuration, combined with multiple shielding layers (foil and silver-plated braid), mechanical damping layers, and high-quality terminations like silver-plated ChordOhmic bananas/spades or Neutrik XLRs, minimizes noise, interference, and signal distortion. Reviews highlight exceptional clarity, detail retrieval, tight bass, smooth highs, improved timing, and overall musicality, with a neutral tonal balance that reveals system capabilities without coloration. Sarum T cables are stiff for vibration control and benefit from burn-in for optimal sound.
