Chord Company Shawline X Loudspeaker Cable 

Shawline X speaker cable is based around Chord Rumour (now known as Rumour X).  The conductors are silver-plated, insulated with XLPE and arranged in a twisted pair configuration. To produce Chord Shawline X, Chord took the existing conductor layout, added a specially chosen PVC internal jacket to reduce mechanical noise, before applying the same high density, dual-layer foil and braid shield that they use on Chord Epic.

Previous versions of Shawline/Rumour speaker cables used PTFE insulation (often referred to as Teflon™) and until the arrival of Taylon®, this was their “go to” material. Although expensive, PTFE offered the best performance.
