English Electric was a British industrial manufacturing brand originally founded in 1918. Most known for their tram, railway, and aviation products, today they resume business with consumer electronics tailored towards the audiophile community.

The English Electric brand arose with the amalgamation of five companies who had specialised in the manufacturing of airplanes, armaments and munitions throughout the first world war. They joined forces after the armistice of the first world war and were in business up until 1968 when the company became defunct. English Electronic specialised in the manufacturing of electrical equipment, railway locomotive, motors and transformers in their early days. They then moved on to consumer electronics, computers and most notably, aviation.

In their most active period English Electric were class-leaders in the development of trams, railways and aviation inventions, specifically the English Electric Trains. From 1921, the company began manufacturing their own aircraft with the creation of the Wren airplane which was followed by the Ayr and Kingston in 1924, Canberra in 1949 and most notably the English Electric P1.A/Lightning Jet in 1954.

Today, Chord has re-launched the British company with the introduction of their first product – a high fidelity grade network switch. The 8switch gigabit device is designed to improve the digital signal and audio quality whilst streaming by removing unwanted noise and interference. Chord have formed a quality partnership with English Electric, who's audiophile grade electronics make the perfect accompaniment to their high performance cables.

Cables may not seem as glamorous an upgrade as a new CD player or amplifier, but the difference that a new interconnect, mains cable or pair of speaker cables can make might just surprise you. A hi-fi system is only as good as its weakest link, so ensuring you have high quality cables and interconnects is a no brainer, and certainly not an area you want to skimp! Not only is a good quality cable likely to sound better, they are often built to a higher standard than free giveaway or cheap cables, and usually come with large warranties – a sign that they are well made and sure to last!

We have a range of audio cables and interconnects, ideal for connecting a source to an amplifier, or a power amplifier to a pre amplifier. A high quality interconnect will ensure that no signal or information is lost, and can even affect the characteristics and tone of your music. We have a huge range of audio cables, with a variety of connection options and terminations, a range of lengths and a product to suit every taste and budget.

Speaker cables can greatly affect the sound produced by your speakers, and as such a good speaker cable is essential. We have a huge range of speaker cables, including custom lengths off the reel. We offer cable termination services, providing high quality banana plug or spade plug termination to a selection of custom length cables. We also offer a range of pre-terminated cables to suit your requirements.

It isn’t just audio cables which can offer an improvement to your enjoyment of music and films. We offer a range of digital cables, ranging from optical cables, coaxial cables, HDMI cables to USB cables for connecting a DAC to an amplifier.
