## Overview

The QED Performance Audio 40i RCA Stereo Audio Cable features advanced Solid Complementary Conductor technology combining oxygen-free copper and silver-plated conductors for superior signal transmission. Its ferrite insulation and braided foil shield minimize noise and signal loss, while gold-plated Anamate RCA connectors ensure low resistance and long-lasting durability. Designed with a robust 8mm PVC jacket, this 1-meter cable delivers professional-grade audio clarity and dynamic precision, making it an exceptional value for audiophiles and professionals alike.

## Description

The ferrite insulation delivers measurable improvements to both the amount of high-frequency signal noise rejected by the cable and the amount of relevant signal information lost. The improved accuracy of high-frequency impulse transmission impacts positively on timing, and on dynamics both broad and low-level.

Review: Good quality and resonably priced - I use these interconnects to connect my phono stage and also my streamer DAC to my headphone amplifier. I do believe that good quality cables and connectors make a difference, but up to a reasonable point. In my opinion, these interconnects strike a good balance between price and performance. The build quality is very good and the connectors as nice and substantial. The cable is thick so plan ahead to try to avoid any very short radius cable bends in your setup. It isn't much of an issue and is a reasonable trade off for good quality cable. The best thing I can say about these interconnects is that I don't notice then having any discernible effect on the sound. I buy good cables to convey the sound/signal, not to alter it. I would recommend these cables as being effective and very good quality, especially for the price.
Review: Great value for money - Performance 40i is a great interconnect not just for the money but a good all rounder, I connected it to my Marantz CD6006 cd player and Sony TAFB940R amplifier I have tried many interconnects through the years all have come up short in one area or another my most recent purchase being the Chord Clearway although a good interconnect it lacked punch, the 40i resolved this my music is exciting and enjoyable again, give it a few days to settle and the sound is second to none.

## Features

- Performance Audio 40i builds on the strengths of the original Performance Audio 40, and delivers an even more enjoyable,convincing sound without affecting its prodigious value for money.
- Using the principles laid down in its industry-defining Genesis Report, as well as some startlingly original technology (including the ground-breaking Solid Complementary Conductors and Anamate plugs), QED has created an interconnect that puts as much distance between itself and its nominal competition as the original Performance Audio 40 did over six years ago.
- Solid Complementary Conductor technology:- Beneath the PVC jacket, braided foil shield, ferrite jacket and foamed polyethylene dielectric are two solid, electrically isolated and oxygen-free copper conductors of different diameters. Using two wholly separate conductors (one copper, one silver-plated) to carry the audio signal provides the most complete, least compromised route for audio information to travel.
- Anamate RCA plugs:- The ‘Anamate’ arrangement of the plugs, in which the high purity copper conductors are gold-plated, gives the cable both low-contact resistance to produce thrilling sonic results and also far greater longevity than unplated copper alone. By using high purity copper conductors for the pin section and small contact areas for the return ring, the resistance in the signal path is lowered.
- Performance 40i has numerous technological highlights, and we’re convinced it represents amazing value for money. The easiest way for you to understand what we mean is to hear it in action for yourself - we’re confident you’ll prefer it to any alternative cable at anything like the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice cables
*by A***N on 30 August 2024*

I'm getting great detail from these cables. They are a big step up from the Amazon basics. I also have the matching speaker cables which are truly great. My only criticism of these cables is I find them a little bright at the moment. I'm hoping they will improve over time as the speaker cables did. They are recommended if you want to add a touch of brightness to a dull sounding system. I tried using these cables from my source through preamplifier to amplifier. But I found it a bit fatigued. I have since added other cables into the chain and it has tamed the brightness slightly. But they do offer great detail. When I used them with my blusound node 2i RCA out they made a massive improvement. Recommended
