Nordost Blue Heaven V3 XLR Interconnect Cable
The job - get your source component's signal to your amplifier 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.
In the pursuit of sonic purity, a successful interconnect should seamlessly transmit audio signal without introducing any distortion or alteration. Nordost’s Leif 3 Interconnects achieve this goal through a filter-less approach, offering a neutral conduit that faithfully reproduces music.
Silver-plated, solid core Oxygen Free Conductors
Nordost’s Leif 3 Interconnects are constructed using silver-plated, solid core OFC conductors arranged into twisted pairs in order to reduce noise interference from the signals they carry. Each pair is then individually shielded before being bundled and secured in a second, braided shield, providing 97% coverage.
Quality terminations
Terminated with gold-plated Neutrik XLR or Profi Neutrik RCA connectors, Leif 3 Interconnects serve as the ideal interface for mid-fi and hi-fi components alike. They maximize signal transmission while preserving the integrity of the source material, allowing enhanced textural aspects of music reproduction to shine through.
Reviews
"Nordost’s house sound leans towards speed, openness and insight rather than bloom or sweetness. Instruments and voices are more clearly separated in space, leading edges arrive with crisp definition, and complex arrangements are easier to follow. Rather than hearing individual improvements in isolation, there is a broader sense of coherence – images lock-in more firmly, the soundstage feels less blurred around the edges, and music flows with greater purpose. That alone will be enough to win over many listeners."
