Why you can trust What Hi-Fi?
Chord Company's Chameleon Silver Plus has been reborn as the ChameleonPlus.
This interconnect now applies lessons learned from Chord's £1000 Indigo Plus.
As well as standard RCA phono connections, you can specify fully balanced XLR plugs too. The ChameleonPlus infuses music with a real sense of get up and go.
It sounds clearer and more detailed than the older Silver Plus. There's a vibrancy and attack to the sound, which enthuses and entertains the listener.
Bass sounds beefy and taut, while vocals and high frequencies are expressive without becoming shouty.
