"QED Revelation...QED XT400...Chord Odysey2"
Hello Tomekay,
Firstly, thanks for investing in your old QED Silver Anniversary cables, I'm glad they have served you well over the past years.
Secondly, I'm a little concerned you are considering two such vastly different cable lengths. If you are looking at any one of these three excellent cables, you obviously take your sound system very seriously. I would expect the (very tiny) difference in sound quality you would hear from a 10m and 3m cable to be enough to adversely affect your '3D' stereo image (soundstage).
Thirdly, as stated above, all three are excellent cables, but you perhaps won't be surprised to learn I sincerly believe the wonderful open neutrality of the new QED Revelation cable makes it the clear winner. However, I know I'm not biased but you don't and there's even a slight chance there may possibly be some people at Chord who might disagree with me
. Which is why I would urge you to find a dealer who will allow you to 'A - B' audition the cables. Very good dealers might even let you take a couple of sets home over a weekend (unless they know you, they will probably ask you for a credit card deposit against their safe return). I would strongly recommend you hear (and believe) your own ears when making decisions like this, rather than rely on the opinions of others.
Very best regards,
Steve Reichert, PR Manager -- Armour Home (QED)
