Chord Odyssey...................not Rumour

[fayeanddavid]

From the previous thread re Chord Rumour, I have to agree with those who opined that Odyssey was they way to go

We now have Odyssey 4 bi-amped to the Front Left and Right speakers with Odyssey 2 to the Centre, and what a difference!

To say that it is like a blanket being taken off the speakers is a bit cliched (to say the least) but the clarity and sparkle is unbelievable, there is detail there that I have just not heard before, also the integration/balance (call it what you will) across the front three is simply a step up in performance, off screen L & R voices and effects blend completely,fabulously listenable and jumps to life even with SDTV. DVD and Blu Ray are amazingly detailed!

I cannot praise this speaker cable upgrade enough.....................thanks to all those that persuaded me to go the Odyssey route!

Glad your enjoyiong it. The Oddy gives it a bit more of everything and is a great all round cable. Sit back and enjoy.

For the reference of others, this was an upgrade from the Chord Carnival Silver Plus biwire (if I remember correctly).

You will need to update your sig to reflect it now. Oddy not silver plus.

Cant say as ive tried the Chord (or indeed any chord), but I have tried quite a few different makes of speaker cables (Some costing FAR more than the odyssey)

Id be very suprised if it sounds better than Van Dammes UP LCOFC speaker cable (Its Linear Copper Crystal which basically means its a far higher grade of copper than is used normally), which is far CHEAPER than the chord

Where would you suggest getting this speaker cable, aliEnRIK? I might have a dabble if it's cheaper than the Odyssey 2, just for the crack. Might even prefer it, who knows.

Mega bargain here

Its on special offer at the moment (Id recommend the 4mm at £3.19/m). I terminated with 'THAT CABLE' 24k banana plugs

You may well be right, but the money is spent I and I, for one, am absolutely delighted with the results!

Not saying I have the "biggest one", just absolutely chuffed to bits with what I've got.

That's all

No problem

Hence why we use it in our demo room......
