After paying so much time and attention to the integrity of your sound system, why degrade its performance by neglecting the last few inches of crucial cabling. Nordost’s Norse 2 Bi-Wire Jumpers are the perfect solution for achieving exceptional sound by replacing the standard, bent metal plates and generic wires supplied with most bi-wire loudspeakers.    

The Norse 2 jumper uses a silver-plated, solid core OFC conductor which is wrapped in a precise spiral of Micro Mono-Filament before being covered in an outer layer of FEP insulation and cut at a specific, mechanically tuned length. This dedicated design provides a straight-line, low-loss jumper that ensures optimum results. The difference that a well-engineered jumper makes in sound quality is astonishing, and these improvements are magnified that much more when maintaining the same core cable technology throughout.

The Sort Kone is a directly coupled and mechanically tuned resonance control device, using a sophisticated new approach to the problem of supporting sensitive electronics. 

Whereas most equipment supports are referred to as Isolation Devices, this actually completely misunderstands the nature of the problem. The most harmful mechanical energy doesn’t enter the equipment from outside; it’s generated internally by the audio circuits and their power supplies. Transformers, power supply capacitors, even the active devices themselves, all vibrate as they operate – and those vibrations occur right where the fragile signal is, creating timing errors that smear and distort the music. The Sort Kone is designed specifically to deal with this threat to audio fidelity.

Sort Kones provide a “blacker” background to your music. With it comes greater focus, instrumental color, depth, transparency and dynamic range. Your system will sound more natural and more lifelike, your music more lively and engaging, the musicians like better musicians – simply because you’ll finally be able to hear the notes they’re playing, the way they play them and precisely when. So, release the hidden performance that’s lurking in your equipment.

• Three-part construction employs superior materials in a mechanically tuned configuration.
• Bypasses soft feet fitted to equipment to provide a direct mechanical ground path for internal energy.
• Can be used in triplets, quartets or even larger numbers.
• Height: 56mm
• Four levels of price and performance, depending on materials employed:

TC – titanium post and base in combination with an upgraded ceramic coupling ball.

All units are individually packed so that you can determine the optimum number for your system’s requirements.

Norse 2 Series power cords deliver a level of performance not previously possible at their price points. Nordost’s proprietary Micro Mono-Filament construction creates a virtual air dielectric complete with an elegantly engineered suspension system. When combined with silver-plated OFC solid core conductors and FEP insulation throughout, the result is the ideal electrically and mechanically controlled construction for ultra-fast, low-impedance current and voltage transfer.

The complex topology of Micro Mono-Filament conductors is especially effective in dissipating mechanical energy present on the AC line, which otherwise enters your delicate electronics. Frey 2 adds additional conductors, further diminishing low-level storage and charging effects, creating wider, faster dynamic response and resulting in a more dramatic, involving and realistic musical response.

Consistency of design and materials across the entire Norse 2 Series means that you can easily create a clearly prioritized, no compromise system-wide cable solution, from wall socket to loudspeaker terminals, with each link in the chain specifically optimized for a purpose, finally unleashing your equipment’s full performance potential.

Frey 2 boasts Nordost's Dual Micro Filament design of the cable that twists the conductor and the insulator (Nordost special FEP) in a double helix type structure keeping a consistent amount of air between all parts.

Air, like the FEP, is an extraordinary insulator and Nordost swear by this combination.

We do too because the sound delivered with a pair of Freys is nothing less than magical. There's a preciseness to the begining of notes, more sparkle...more life in the music.

The other great thing about the Nordost range is that you can choose your terminations...RCA or XLR. No extra cost.

It's like turning the tap on all the way to let the music flow out.

The sound of instrumentalists and vocalists becomes instantaneous and things are sharper, clearer thus making small nuances in the music more apparent.

The Heimdall 2 is the real gold standard with dual Micro Filament but the Blue Heaven uses the same principle with only one strand of FEP (Mono Micro Filament)

The Heimdall 2 cables are the most popular cables in the Nordost range here at Carlton Audio Visual and for good reason - this is where they start to get REALLY good.

At the Heimdall 2 level, Nordost employs their Dual Micro Filament design doing away with the Mono Micro Filament design of the Leif range. Dual refers to the two bits of FEP insulation that are wrapped around the silver plated, copper conductors in a double helix type configuration. It's this special structure and twist of the design, that means one of the most effective insulators of all is used ingeniously - air. The structure allows air to be the insulator around the conductor to fantastic effect.

The Heimdall 2 cables should be tried to be believed.
