QED XT5 Power 1m cable

This product is no longer available for sale!

Overview

By deploying its usual combination of world-class research and engineering, QED has created a revolutionary power cable that delivers clean, stable current to audio equipment - so it can operate at its maximum potential.

Having played a major role in creating the very first specialized speaker cables and with over 47 years of technical excellence and unmatched expertise in the fields of hi-fi, home cinema cables and connectivity, no other company has demonstrated such dedication to research and development combined with analytical listening tests.

QED knows very well that the standard of the mains power supply powering hi-fi equipment can have a profound effect on its performance. So, having achieved excellent award-winning results with its most recent speaker cables and analog interconnects, QED’s engineers have now applied their unique methodology to power cables.

This resolute determination to unleash the performance of hi-fi electronics of all kinds has resulted in the XT5 - a power cable that highlights QED’s mastery of cable technology and sets entirely new performance standards at the price point.

As with any QED cable, enormous attention has been paid to the materials and geometry of the XT5. In an effort to minimize the degrading “proximity effect” created when current density builds up in conductors closest to each other, QED has applied X-Tube technology developed for its award-winning range of speaker cables. By more efficiently regulating the flow of current to the audio equipment, the equipment is free to function as its designers intended.

This kind of imaginative thinking and rigorous execution is typical of QED, and it means that the XT5’s X-Tube configuration is well beyond what any nominal competitor can offer.

User reviews

Mathieu

Heavy-duty cable for high power applications.
Plugged in place of the Atoll MA100's power cord, which has a lot of play once inserted into the pins and risks causing loose connections over time. I chose this cable which is largely oversized for the 2x60 watts but inserts with much less play between the pins and will last me for years...
In terms of sound, I didn't hear any difference from the original power cord - it just sends current, that's all. It's not an audio cable!
I recommend it for anyone who wants a cable that will last a very, very long time and/or for high power applications.

Câble de forte section pour de grosse puissance..
Branché à la place du câble secteur de l’Atoll MA100 qui à beaucoup de jeux une fois inséré dans les broches et qui risque avec le temps de provoquer de faux contacts. J’ai pris ce câble qui est largement surdimensionné pour les 2x60watts mais qui s’insère avec beaucoup moins de jeux entre les broches et qui me durera pendant des années….
Au niveau sonore je n’ai entendu aucune différence avec le câble secteur d’origine, il envoie juste du courant c’est tout, ce n’est pas un câble audio !.
Je le recommande pour qui veut un câble qui durera très très longtemps et, ou, pour de grosses puissances.
