Chord Rumour X Speaker Cable

Chord Rumour was Chord's second attempt at producing a speaker cable. The first two being Myth and Legend – copper and polyethylene flat cables in single and bi-wire configuration. Chord were also investigating speaker cables that used silver-plated conductors in combination with PTFE insulation. Chord had been experimenting with twisted pair conductor configurations, as at the time, heavy gauge parallel conductors were the standard for speaker cables. By twisting the conductors together, Chord could hear the noise floor of the system improve. Chord reached an ideal twist ratio and designed the cable around this.

When Chord launched Chord Rumour in 1996, it was one of the smallest speaker cables available (16 AWG). Retailers would take it into their demo rooms looking dubious and come out looking surprised and delighted. It sounded a lot bigger than it looked, it carried detail and dynamics really well and it was more coherent than just about any other cable around. As people got over the size and listened, rather than looked, it became a very popular cable. Apart from cosmetic changes it remained unchanged for many years.

The size, the colour and the performance mean it’s still a popular cable. Chord's Shawline shielded speaker cable shares the same conductors.

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

Material technology is constantly developing and improving and alternatives to PTFE are now available. While the high cost of Taylon® prevents Chord from using this in all of their ranges, they were able to find a suitable family of insulation materials known as XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene). One version of this material looked particularly interesting and following listening tests, proved to be clearly better than the PTFE in Rumour speaker cable – now known as Rumour X.

Perfect Fit and Great Quality
Style: CF12552 Classic
The thickness is just right and fits perfectly. Easy to install, good airflow, and the air feels much cleaner after replacing the old filter. Great value for the price.

Easy to install
Style: CF10374 Classic
The frame is made of hard plastic (color black) which fits perfectly in the air cabin filter system of a Toyota Tacoma 2006 V6. It holds it's shap quite well. The carbon filter is able to be seen and works so far. The quality seems good and the thickness of the filter is well made with a foam outter film that makes it fit my Tacoma very well. I'm happy with it. The ease of installation is good and it is well worth the money.

Filter quality and value
Style: CF11809 Classic
2nd time to purchase this item over a 5 year period. The filter has a rigid frame making last much longer than other paper filters. Perfect fit and worth the cost. Great job filtering cabin and neutralizing odors!

Simple Upgrade That Makes a Real Difference
Style: CF10140 Classic
Installed the Zezut cabin filter in my 2005 Infiniti G35 and noticed the difference immediately. The air inside the car felt fresher and cleaner right away — no more stale air circulating through the vents. The HEPA backing is a big deal, knowing it's actually filtering out dust, pollen, and particles rather than just being a basic filter gives you real peace of mind. The quality feels solid and well made. Installation was super easy, took just a few minutes with no tools needed. For the price this is one of those simple maintenance upgrades that's absolutely worth doing. Your lungs will thank you. Great price and affordable, top choice for replacement in my opinion.
