## Overview

The QED Performance Audio 40i is a 1-meter stereo RCA cable featuring advanced Solid Complementary Conductor technology with 99.999% oxygen-free copper and silver-plated conductors. It incorporates a braided foil shield, ferrite jacket, and foamed polyethylene dielectric to minimize noise and signal loss, delivering superior timing and dynamic response. Gold-plated Anamate RCA plugs reduce contact resistance for enhanced sound quality and durability, making it an exceptional choice for home theater, professional audio, and car systems.

## Description

The ferrite insulation delivers measurable improvements to both the amount of high-frequency signal noise rejected by the cable and the amount of relevant signal information lost. The improved accuracy of high-frequency impulse transmission impacts positively on timing, and on dynamics both broad and low-level. Conductor type Solid Complementary Metallurgy 99.999% OFC & SPOFC Conductor size 1 x 0.643 mm & 1 x 0.404 mm Combined conductor cross-section 0.45 mm² Dielectric Foamed Polyethylene Capacitance 57 pF/m Self-inductance 0.45 μH/m Loop resistance 0.050 Ω/m Dissipation factor @ 10kHz 0.00250 Outer jacket Black Pearl PVC Nominal outside diameter 8.0 mm

## Features

- Performance Audio 40i builds on the strengths of the original Performance Audio 40, and delivers an even more enjoyable,convincing sound without affecting its prodigious value for money.
- Using the principles laid down in its industry-defining Genesis Report, as well as some startlingly original technology (including the ground-breaking Solid Complementary Conductors and Anamate plugs), QED has created an interconnect that puts as much distance between itself and its nominal competition as the original Performance Audio 40 did over six years ago.
- Solid Complementary Conductor technology:- Beneath the PVC jacket, braided foil shield, ferrite jacket and foamed polyethylene dielectric are two solid, electrically isolated and oxygen-free copper conductors of different diameters. Using two wholly separate conductors (one copper, one silver-plated) to carry the audio signal provides the most complete, least compromised route for audio information to travel.
- Anamate RCA plugs:- The ‘Anamate’ arrangement of the plugs, in which the high purity copper conductors are gold-plated, gives the cable both low-contact resistance to produce thrilling sonic results and also far greater longevity than unplated copper alone. By using high purity copper conductors for the pin section and small contact areas for the return ring, the resistance in the signal path is lowered.
- Performance 40i has numerous technological highlights, and we’re convinced it represents amazing value for money. The easiest way for you to understand what we mean is to hear it in action for yourself - we’re confident you’ll prefer it to any alternative cable at anything like the price.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality and resonably priced
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 December 2024*

I use these interconnects to connect my phono stage and also my streamer DAC to my headphone amplifier. I do believe that good quality cables and connectors make a difference, but up to a reasonable point. In my opinion, these interconnects strike a good balance between price and performance.The build quality is very good and the connectors as nice and substantial. The cable is thick so plan ahead to try to avoid any very short radius cable bends in your setup. It isn't much of an issue and is a reasonable trade off for good quality cable.The best thing I can say about these interconnects is that I don't notice then having any discernible effect on the sound. I buy good cables to convey the sound/signal, not to alter it.I would recommend these cables as being effective and very good quality, especially for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for money
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 February 2024*

Performance 40i is a great interconnect not just for the money but a good all rounder, I connected it to my Marantz CD6006 cd player and Sony TAFB940R amplifier I have tried many interconnects through the years all have come up short in one area or another my most recent purchase being the Chord Clearway although a good interconnect it lacked punch, the 40i resolved this my music is exciting and enjoyable again, give it a few days to settle and the sound is second to none.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Regular QED plugs not as advertised but quality.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 September 2023*

Positives: QED signature sound. Used between a Marantz cd6007 and Denon av receiver pulls a bit more detail and high end out of the mix. No loss of bass to my ears. Very good sound and quality construction.Negatives: As pointed out by other buyers the plugs are regular gold plated QED plugs therefore not the plugs advertised. Listing should be updated. As I said above they are still very good. The other negative is the item arrived not postage packed, as in there was an address label stuck straight to the box. I’m not happy with this as I expect the whole item including the manufacturer’s packaging to be protected in another box. RCA cables are guaranteed for life and the box is handy to pass them on to someone else should you chose. Also not pretty giving as a present to someone with a postage label stuck on and the corners of the box knocked up. Not good enough.So 5 stars for product minus 1 star for bad (or in this case no) packaging.
