EVENT: Striking the Right Chord

Events are heating up this season and we’ve another date for your diary with our Chord Company Demo Event at Home Media HQ, in Maidstone, next month. Join us on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th August, between 10am and 5pm, for a FREE demo session that we know will ‘strike the right chord’!

We’ll be on hand to demonstrate some fantastic kit from The Chord Company as well as chat and answer questions about audio kit, product recommendations, music, and more, over a cuppa. Booking your appointment is essential, so get in touch on 01622 676703 now to reserve your timeslot.

The Chord Company, one of our favourite UK brands, have been designing and building award-winning cables since the 1980s, proving that audio and video cables are over and above ‘just an accessory’. Rather, your cables (and other often underestimated components) are an important part of your wider system and using the correct ones can make a noticeable difference, transforming your experience and pleasure of your beloved music and visuals.

We have so much to share with you all – so this time, we’ll be using both demo rooms. Here’s just some of the products we’ll be showcasing throughout our August event…

Hi-Fi Room 2

In this room, our system for the two days of events will consist of:

• Hegel H390 Integrated Amplifier
• HiFi Rose RS150 Network Streamer
• ATC SCM40 Floorstanding Speakers
• The Chord Company GroundARAY Signal Grounding Products
• The Chord Company PowerHAUS Mains Distribution Blocks
• The Chord Company Cables (various)

Interconnect, streaming and speaker cables – we’ll show how a system can be improved simply by upgrading these often-overlooked necessities, by adding each additional component, one by one, to demonstrate the incremental improvements made to the sound quality.

Built to be connected to any unused socket on a component, The Chord Company’s grounding products can deliver marked improvements in overall performance of the equipment by efficiently absorbing excess high-frequency noise on the signal ground, reducing the noise floor. Simply put, the music you want to hear will sound worlds better, with excess unwanted noise from acoustic vibrations and more ‘deadened’.

We’ll demonstrate the same system, with and without GroundARAY in situ, so you can hear the very real improvements for yourself. While we’ll be showing you the difference they can make on your audio system, what’s more is that even screens and other components can benefit from the noise reduction capabilities. A great piece of kit, not to be underestimated!

The Chord Company PowerHAUS Mains Distribution Blocks will also be in play, demonstrating further notable audio improvements to the system. Read more below.

Flagship Demo Room

Here’s the equipment list for these two days of events in our recently refurbished Flagship Demo Room:

• Vitus Audio SL-103 Preamplifier
• Vitus Audio RS-101 Stereo Power Amplifier
• Meitner Audio MA3 DAC/Streamer
• Avalon Acoustics PM1 Floorstanding Speakers
• The Chord Company PowerHAUS M6 Mains Distribution Block
• The Chord Company PowerHAUS S6 Mains Distribution Block
• The Chord Company GroundARAY Signal Grounding Products
• The Chord Company Sarum Cables (inc. Sarum T Mains Cables, Sarum T Speaker Cable, Sarum T XLR Cables and Sarum T Streaming Cable)

We will be demonstrating the PowerHAUS S6 and PowerHAUS M6, so that people can experience the improvements brought by these two recently introduced pieces of kit.

New products built by true audiophiles, PowerHAUS mains distribution blocks consistently deliver high performance and reliability. Both products – the flagship M6 and entry-level S6 both utilise three parallel-fitted hybrid MainsARAYs to lessen, almost to the point of complete removal, excess high-frequency and earth noise from your system, thereby greatly improving your sound experience. Both models are even non-switched, avoid filters and neon power indicators, which themselves can generate noise… ensuring that performance is uncompromised by non-essential and disruptive features. Built for purpose and developed using the brand’s acclaimed technology – as well as 40 years of industry experience and expertise – both blocks meet and exceed expectations every time… you’ll hear for yourself when you join us in August!

An excellent demonstration of the true potential of cabling, Chord’s Sarum Cables deliver a change in sound more reminiscent of a component upgrade than of a change to an often overlooked or passive part of the system. Providing an increased sense of balance and clarity that can reveal new facets of sound to your favourite music, here is a fundamental example of the ‘joined up thinking’ and interconnected approach for which the brand is known. We’re excited to show you a selection of Chord’s best, to demonstrate the difference considered cabling can make to your audio pleasure!

The Home Media team are looking forward to seeing you next month to share why we’re so passionate about The Chord Company’s products, as well as our enthusiasm and knowledge for music and audio.
