Nordost Red Dawn V3 Speaker Cable
New
Nordost's original Flatline loudspeaker cable introduced the audio world to an entirely new level of performance and a unique production technique. Our proprietary, extruded FEP cables, with their thin, flat profile don't just look different - their deceptive simplicity is a uniquely elegant answer to the conflicting requirements for low resistance, capacitance, and inductance that limit the performance of more conventional cable configurations. Now, the Red Dawn V3 takes the benefits even further. By reducing dielectric effects still further as well as optimizing the physical spacing of the 22 heavy-gauge 24 AWG, silver-plated OFC solid-core conductors, we have produced a cable capable of phenomenal phase accuracy and detail, speed and dynamic range. From the quietest, most delicate note to the power of a thundering orchestral crescendo or driving rock track, the Red Dawn V3 Speaker Cable spans the range with effortless grace and deft control, allowing music to seduce when it wants to, or be savage when it must. Sitting at the top of the Leif Series, Red Dawn V3 bears comparison with competing cables irrespective of price. The Red Dawn Speaker Cable yields the best performance possible from a speaker cable without using Micro Mono-Filament/TSC cable design.
Reviews
"My experience with the Nordost cables leaves me speechless, if that is even possible. Overall, the difference is nothing short of spectacular. In fact, during the review several friends and colleagues remarked that the reference system for this review has never sounded nearly as good. Personally, I have to agree with them wholeheartedly. I thought the old cables made a huge difference in my system, but the new ones overshadow them exponentially. In conclusion, if you are looking to build a new system or upgrade an existing system, you owe it to yourself to audition these cables. They represent a serious value and stellar performance within their price range. In my case, they have left me with the unchanging fact that I need to upgrade my cables to at least this level, because anything less would be unthinkable"
Red Dawn 3 Review
We are happy to share the first review of our Leif 3 cable line, recently published on Audiograde. After evaluating our new Red Dawn 3 cables, reviewer Andrew Simpson summed up the benefits they brought to his system with two words: “detail” and “depth“.
Andrew found that our new Leif 3 cables allowed him to achieve a much purer performance from his system. In his own words, he explained, “These cables…improve and finesse what’s already there. It’s like pouring purer petrol into a performance car to simply enable it to perform as it should without restriction.” After such a positive experience with our cables in his system, it’s no surprise that Andrew recommends the Leif 3 cables as a “long term investment for those demanding the best for their hifi to ensure they’re hearing it as it should sound”.
To make it even better, our Red Dawn 3 cables were awarded Audiograde’s “Editor’s Pick” for “Uncompromising systems craving extra finesse in detail and depth”.
