THE
"EVOLUTION" OF KORDZ
KORDZ® is
a relative newcomer to the AV interconnect market. Founded
in Australia in 2003 by David Meyer, a lifetime audio and home cinema enthusiast,
it embraces what many brands seem to increasingly overlook - the
fundamental and unchangeable laws of physics. The principle
design of every KORDZ® cable extends to the harnessing of these
'laws' for best performance, achievable through intelligent cable
geometry and construction, using only the best of materials.
The result is unquestionable value for money.
To
stand out in the marketplace one must offer a point of difference.
For some brands this seems to result in marketing claims which
suggest a 'bending' of the laws of physics. They get away
with it of the basis that most people don't really know any different, but hey, the claims sound impressive! Some AV forums
on the internet even have a name for this method of marketing
- "Cable Voodoo". So how can you tell if
a company is indulging in cable voodoo? Unfortunately it's
not so easy to tell, but a good place to start is to see whether
the brand offers specifications to back up their claims, which
so many don't make available. KORDZ® relies only on quality
and integrity for its success, with disclosure of all relevant
data - no Voodoo claims.
"It's
easy to get totally confused by the plethora of products available
in today's market. The bottom line is that people want quality
and value for money, but knowing which offers this is the real
problem. A quality product should be well built, look good,
last well, perform well and be able to back up any claims..."
David
has been directly involved in the home cinema industry for several
years, both with storefront and online retail sales, and with
custom design and installations. His applied experience
with a wide range of home cinema products from "home-theatre-in-a-box"
systems right through to projection cinema systems complete with
integrated multi-room AV, has enabled him to compare the real
differences that quality cabling can make. He has invested
a great deal of time in assembling cables of various origin for
vastly different applications, even experimenting with different
solders and application temperatures for optimum results.
All of this research and broadband experience has lead to the
design of the KORDZ® range.
All
KORDZ® cables are exclusively designed in Australia. The
offshore KORDZ® factory maintains the highest standard of quality
control, from material selection to the production process, and
final product presentation. For example, all KORDZ® cables
go through a process of copper extrusion which ensures a thorough
drying of the purified H2O (as used to rinse and fast-cool the
extruded OFC) prior to dielectric encasing or silver plating.
You may shrug your shoulders at the relevance of this, but surprisingly
many brands trap small quantities of water in and around the cables'
core, leading to harmful oxidization. KORDZ® techniques ensure
that the standard of OFC used remains pure for years, free from
internal oxidization.
The
copper used in every cable is at least OFC standard. All
models employ a high purity proprietary blend of US and Japanese
OFC in all speaker cables and interconnect models. All AV
cables use the same high grade of low capacitance nitrogen injected
polyethylene for their dielectrics, along with 100% screen double
shielding across the range.
The
result? Reliable and consistent high performance. KORDZ® quality.
