PURPLE FLARE V3 SPEAKER CABLE
The job - get your amplifier's signal to your loudspeakers without losing detail.
Not so easy. Electrons travelling down a wire do all sorts of unexpected things. Keep in mind that electrons repell each other like crazy, and the cable designer has to create an orderly flow.
What is remarkable about the Nordost Leif 3 speaker cables is that Nordost builds the cable like a ribbon. Nordost reports that this flat construction guarantees low capacitance (and thus higher speed), minimizes skin effect and also minimizes interaction between the conductors. This should benefit playback quality.
Reviews
“…excellent separation between the main and background voices, along with a fine rendering of tones in the acoustic guitars and strings. It wasn’t as if, with the Nordost Purple Flare], the tonal range or soundstage was now drastically different; the effect was more one of greater clarity, which in turn made the sound more focused and three-dimensional.”
