Chord Company Epic Interconnect Cable 5-Pin DIN to 5-Pin DIN 1.0m

An ideal way to improve your system is to add a good quality interconnect, and British specialists “The Chord Company” make a very good range of products to suit all grades and pockets. Here we have a one metre length of their much acclaimed Epic interconnect with 5-Pin DIN connectors at both ends that comes in very good condition.
The Chord Co. Say….
The ‘Deutsches Institut für Normung’ or DIN connector has been around since the late 1960s and was used by many hi-fi audio manufacturers, including B&O, Black Tulip, Tandberg and Nytech.
DIN plugs share an earth between left and right signals, minimising connections and reducing low level noise. They can carry power (24v DC) as well as audio signals. An RCA connector has a typical capacitive impedance of 200 ohms compared to standard cable being 50 ohms. Impedance variation can cause reflections which are harmful to low-level
signals, particularly at high-frequencies. DIN plug impedance is closer to 50 ohms, minimising these reflections.
These days DIN sockets tend to be found on Naim Audio or older Quad equipment. We have over 35 years’ experience in building high-spec upgrade cables for both products and at all performance levels. Chord Company DIN cables can be supplied with 4-pin or 5-pin silver-plated DIN plugs in push-fit metal, plastic (Quad) or Preh locking ring (Naim Audio) variants and in combination with XLR, RCA (phono), BNC and mini-jack connectors, allowing non-Naim/Quad equipment to be linked with ease and with its musicality intact.
Many years ago, we established that shorter length (<1m) DIN cables can have a detrimental effect on Naim Audio amplifiers. Longer custom lengths are not a problem. From a basic interconnect to a complex Burndy cable we can help you get the best from your Naim gear, be it vintage or modern.
A recent and welcome addition to our DIN cable family. The design builds upon the Shawline platform but pushes it further.
The single multi-core cable features a similar multi-layered, complex shielding system. The gauge (thickness) of the conductors has been increased and we have introduced the superior hand assembled TunedARAY into the design.
Assembly is complex and time-consuming (and more expensive), but we feel this extra care results in an outstanding cable at this level.
Epic DIN fills the gap that once existed between the Shawline and Signature ranges. In its short life, Epic DIN has generated great interest with Naim owners at all levels.
