Chord Sarum T builds on the hugely successful Sarum Super Tuned ARAY cable range. The Sarum T range introduces Chord’s very own insulation material, Taylon, bringing a major performance upgrade. Previous Sarum ranges have used PTFE insulation, however the upgrade to Taylon introduces a huge wealth of performance benefits.
Chord discovered Taylon, a new, high-technology alternative to PTFE in 2015. Taylon eliminates the temperature related phase instability and mechanical variation that hinders the sonic and musical performance of PTFE. This breakthrough led to the creation of the flagship ChordMusic range, which Chord have now fed down into the Chord Sarum T RCA Interconnect.
Combining Taylon® insulated conductors, and Chord’s most advanced Super ARAY technology, Chord Sarum T offers a huge upgrade in performance over the Sarum Tuned ARAY range. It offers the same natural sense of rhythm, pace, musical energy and presence that ChordMusic delivers, but in a simplified design that costs considerably less.
The reference version uses a pseudo-balanced design and contains twice the amount of cable. It is more rigid, but has better performance. It won’t be suitable for all turntables, however. If the turntable has a suspended chassis (eg. Linn LP12) the slimline cable may be the better option. The reference version might be too inflexible or heavy for the tone arm.
The Sarum T tone arm cable is hand-built to order and can be fitted with a wide range of connectors. Please contact us to discuss your setup before ordering.
