The very finest part of any
HiFi and AV system are those that cause the least change
to the signal.
Cables are part of every HiFi and AV System and should not be ignored.
Those supplied free with any new system may inhibit the equipment's
performance and degrades its potential performance.
Ideally, good quality cables should be included in your budget
when considering a new system as the sonic and visual difference
between a fre 'patch' lead and a decent interconnect can be suprising.
At Weymouth HiFi we stock a large range of Speaker Cables,
HDMI Cables, Phono RCA Interconnects, Optical
and Digital Cables, Subwoofer Cables to name but a
few.
Below is just a selection of cables that we recommend highly.

Interconnect Cables
Atlas Equator MKII
Price: 1m £44.50
Atlas Scotland understands the meaning of uncompromising performance.
Is the ubiquitous Atlas Equator the best interconnect on the market?
It sure is at it's price!
The Atlas Equator Mk11 has been awarded the What Hi Fi best stereo
interconnect of 2007 and 2008. In Mk1 form it was awarded the same
accolade in 2002 and 2003.
A consistent winner, the Equator Mk11 is obviously the entry level
audio interconnect to buy. Like all Atlas interconnects, it provides
a huge sound-stage together with a smooth delivery. It avoids the
over bright and irritating sound so often a feature of similarly
priced interconnects. Rather in common with all Atlas interconnects,
irrespective of price, it offers the listener a sophisticated and
relaxing sound with no artificial highs or lows.
Optical Cables
Atlas Fibre Optic
Construction of the Atlas Fibre optic begins with a high quality
light conducting optical fibre. A thermal barrier protects the delicate
fibre from heat warping and a mechanical outer barrier is applied
to protect the assembly from damage.
The ends are then precision polished in order to reduce harmful
reflections. With efficient non deleting light transfer characteristics,
the sound quality the Atlas fibre optic provides, in common with
all Atlas interconnects, is full, relaxed and transparent.
Price: 1m £32.00
Speaker Cables
Atlas Element 1.25
The Atlas Element 1.25 contains 1.25 sq mm of stranded OFC copper
contained in a high density polyethylene dielectric. The 1.25 is
an ideal entry level speaker cable for small systems where bass
is limited by the size of the speakers, or a cable for rear speakers
in a 5.1 set up.
The 1.25 is unusual at it's price point insofar that it uses a quality
polyethylene dielectric rather than the more usual and less efficient
PVC. The Element 1.25 may be specified in Ivory or in Black finish.
An AWG equivalence table is provided below.
QED Qudos Micro
Entry-level speaker cable that combines convenience and performance.
The miniature figure '8' construction allows Micro to be used in

technology found in the prestigious X-Tube series.
QED XT Evolution
Price: £5.85 per metre
QED XT Evolution Speaker Cable is a completely new design from
QED. It utilises the technologies of both Genesis and X-Tube cables
