Very bright sound, maybe too bright, good for shy electronics and introverted speakers on which the result of this cable is reflected.

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.

Good power cable, large diameter but flexible!
Powers my Cambridge CX 81 amp efficiently without altering the typical sound rendering of this amp and advantageously replaces the cable delivered with the device! Very satisfied, I recommend it!

QED power cables used on Kef LS 50 Wireless II speakers sublimate these already fabulous speakers. More detail, more softness in the listening experience. Fabulous!
