CHORD COMPANY BURNDY CABLE UPGRADE FOR NAIM AUDIO

British cable brand Chord Company offers an upgrade path for Naim Audio owners with Burndy-equipped devices, with their upgraded BurndyT and new BurndyX cables.

Chord Company has launched new and upgraded versions of its British-designed-and-built Burndy cables, for Naim Audio equipment, Chord Company BurndyX and BurndyT.

CHORD COMPANY BURNDYX AND BURNDYT CABLES

There are two new models: BurndyX and BurndyT, both of which have been designed to provide Burndy-equipped Naim Audio devices with a trusted upgrade path.

Chord Company used a Burndy-equipped Naim Audio NAP 300 amplifier in listening tests during the development of the new Burndy cables. The Chord Company’s first-ever cable was created for Naim Audio equipment back in 1984.

The new models build on Chord Company’s debut Burndy cables (2020) with extensive upgrades, including the company’s proprietary insulation XLPE in the entry-level BurndyX.

CHORD COMPANY BURNDYX

BurndyX is an all-new entry-level cable that brings Chord Company’s near-40-year cable design and UK manufacturing expertise to a more accessible price point.

The Chord Company BurndyX cable is handmade to order and benefits from multi-stranded silver-plated OFC conductors (with XLPE), complemented by high-density, silver-plated braid and foil combination high-frequency shielding. The complex umbilical link is terminated with the company’s unique, crimped ChorAlloy-plated connector pins. The BurndyX is designed to connect all compatible Naim Audio products, including the 12-way and 23-way- (Type 3 and Type 4) equipped models.

CHORD COMPANY BURNDYT

The new upgraded BurndyT directly replaces the previous generation model.

The BurndyT cables are hand-built by Chord Company’s UK technicians, using precision-engineered components finished with a complex termination process. They feature, say Chord Company, the highest quality materials and standards of mechanical fabrication, from the company’s flagship Taylon-insulated conductors to the multiple, layered screens that protect delicate signals from high-frequency noise.

The BurndyT connector pins are also ChorAlloy-plated: a multi-metal plating system that provides a “significant musical improvement” over previous gold/silver-plating techniques and one that offers a major step forward in Burndy performance.

BRIDGE SHORTING PLUG

As part of the Burndy upgrade programme, the Bridge shorting plug, which works with unused (Naim Audio) power supply upgrade ports to reduce high-frequency noise, has also been updated to include proprietary ChorAlloy-plated connector pins.

CHORD COMPANY BURNDYX AND BURNDYT CABLES PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

Chord Company Burndy cables are available now in a wide variety of configurations priced from £880 (BurndyX) and £1,760 (BurndyT); Bridge £500.
