Chord Company C-Line RCA Analogue Interconnect Cable
#5 in Cables & Connectors · Rated 4.5
ARAY-based 2RCA interconnect with high-detail potential
Chord C-Line RCA interconnects deliver strong value for listeners who want ARAY‑inspired conductor geometry and robust shielding without stepping into the most expensive ranges. Chord’s ARAY geometry, combined with oxygen‑free copper and a dense shield, aims to preserve timing and reduce crosstalk, producing clean mids and delicately open highs. The C-Line sits in the mid‑tier, drawing praise from What Hi‑Fi? style outlets and notable UK retailers for its combination of musicality and value. It is a practical upgrade for most line‑level components looking to extract more nuance from source components such as CD players, DACs, and integrated amps, while remaining accessible to a broad audience globally.
