Chord Rumour was the first speaker cable that Chord produced. At the time Chord were already producing interconnects using silver-plated conductors in combination with Teflon insulation and were well aware of the potential performance benefits of this combination. Chord experimented with several cable geometries before settling on the twisted pair configuration that they have used ever since. Following repeated listening tests, Chord felt this configuration offered some genuine advantages over the heavy gauge parallel pair designs that were more commonly used at the time. Each conductor is made up of 19 strands of silver-plated oxygen free copper. These are insulated by Teflon and surrounded with an outer jacket of silicone. Silicone was chosen as an outer jacket partly for its flexibility and partly for its excellent mechanical damping characteristics. Rumour is a remarkably compatible speaker cable and can be used in a wide range of applications from mini systems right up to full blown active set ups. The size of the cable makes Rumour a very attractive proposition for anyone looking to get really good sound quality from what is a near invisible (in hi-fi terms) speaker cable. It is discreet enough in its installation version to tuck between a carpet and skirting board.
