Why you will love it
ARAY conductor technology
The C-line uses Chord Company's ARAY conductor technology, which comes from its flagship cables and now appears across its ranges. The insulation is HDPE and the shielding is a high-density, over-wrapped foil.

Gold-plated RCA plugs
The RCA plugs are gold-plated and have a compression-free surround, which Chord Company says is part of keeping the connection reliable.
For line-level components
Chord Company says the C-line works with all line-level components. It lists CD players, streaming devices, DVD players, home theatre amplifiers, tuners, phono stages and pre to power amplifier connections.
It can also be used with RCA-equipped turntables.
