Using two wholly separate conductors (one copper, one silver-plated) to carry the audio signal provides the most complete, least compromised route for audio information to travel. The resulting sound enjoys greater scale and three-dimensionality than has been previously achievable from an interconnect of this price, and helps QED maintain both its reputation as an innovator and a class-leader.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.qed.co.uk\/pub\/media\/wysiwyg\/qed\/addition\/fi.jpg\"\u003e   \u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qed.co.uk\/pub\/media\/wysiwyg\/qed\/addition\/scc.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFerrite jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe ferrite insulation delivers measurable improvements to both the amount of high-frequency signal noise rejected by the cable and the amount of relevant signal information lost.
