About the QED Performance Audio 40i Interconnect (Pair)
Audio 40i builds on the original Performance Audio 40. Each lead pairs two solid conductors of different sizes, made from 99.999% oxygen-free copper and silver-plated oxygen-free copper, with a foamed polyethylene dielectric. The design follows the principles of QED’s Genesis Report.
It is listed in QED’s Performance range. Hi-Fi Choice named it Group Test Winner in its February 2022 issue, and also gave it a Recommended award. The Audiophile Man gave it a Deeply Groovy award.
Use it between a source, such as a CD player, DAC or streamer, and an amplifier.
