Cables

Using a conventional round cable is like pouring fine wine through a lead pipe. What comes out is definitely not what went in. Continuous Cast Copper (SoloCrystal Copper) braids with the patented oval design, puts nothing in the way of the musical signal.

The sound is detailed and resolving and lacks the sharpness of sibilant highs that are so easily accentuated in many other high end cables.

For any system that I'm trying to balance out with a bit of warmth because it would err on the side of brightness, naturally, these are the cables that I reach for paired with some Analysis Plus Oval 9 copper speaker cable.

The Heimdall 2 cables in Nordost's range use Dual Micro Filament technology as opposed to the Mono Micro Filament of the lesser models. Basically this means better insulation. But the insulation is improved in an ingenious way. Having two strands of the FEP insulation means the structure of the inside of the cable is like a double helix and there's lots of air around the different components...a highly effective insulator!

Where the quality of your digital source really matters, you can't go past this cable. The sound is a massive leap above the Blue Heaven and the best sounding USB cable we sell.

For those with impeccable musical tastes...you need to have something that's just a bit more special to connect your Hi-Fi components.

A balanced interconnect is a great place to start. The extra conductor in the balanced interconnect lowers the noise floor of the system presenting your music on an inky black background whereby the notes in the music jump out as colourful musical droplets...basically - you'll hear more detail.

The Epic cable is itself a highly musical cable where resolution is enhanced particularly in the bass.

This is the sort of cable worthy of beloved Hi-Fi systems...

The Rock Hybrid 3T is probably the best value for money interconnect we have in our range of interconnects. The two centre
conductors are made of 12 x 150 micron 3T conductors. They are also individually coated with an extra L.S.C. layer coating. The
three layer shielding combines two layers made of heavy silver coated copper strands, plus one layer made of L. S. C. This is for
the damping of spurious signals.

Please call us to make sure we have the length and termination you require in stock.

Sarum T speaker links are more that just the final link for a system full of Sarum T cables. They are an easy way of getting the last ounce of performance from any high resolution speaker system, regardless of the speaker cable you’re using.

The links feature Taylon® insulation are fitted with our ChordAlloy™ plated ChordOhmic banana plugs and spade connectors.

Red Dawn cables use 6 solid core heavy-gauge conductors (2 more than Blue Heaven). They're the same silver-plated Oxygen-Free-Copper conductors treated in the same way as the rest of the Leif range but more conductors mean more music... That's music to my ears... Learn More

Completing the Chord Company's Epic range is this high performance power cable. Using Chord's unique ARAY conductor technology for increased performance, this is a solid noise-reducing power cable to deliver the best from your system.

Our go to reference RCA cable in the store for years. In its 4th Generation. A Benchmark in performance at its pricepoint.

The Signature Tuned ARAY RCA uses separately shielded oxygen free copper silver-plated conductors in Tuned ARAY conductor geometry, PTFE insulation and dual layer foil and high density braid shielding effective to very high frequencies. The outer jacket of each conductor is FEP and the cable is held in the correct configuration with black braided outer jacket.

Now running some specials on these cables as their new version, SignatureX, comes into Australia now.

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.

The new Silver Apex is our top silver cable.  It has our most advanced geometry with a hollow oval cable inside a hollow oval cable inside a hollow oval cable for a double shielded design for a noise floor so low you can hear your amp breath.  Constructed of pure silver over a stabilizing strand of oxygen-free copper, woven into our patented hollow oval geometry.  These interconnects maintain the high frequency components of your source.

Available single ended with Locking RCA connectors or balanced with Neutrik XLR connectors.

To reduce the capacitive load between the two centre conductors and the screen, the dimension of 3T The Hill Hybrid is enlarged
compared to the 3T The Rock Hybrid. The 2 centre conductors consist each of a single 500 micron 3T conductor coated with an
L.S.C. layer to improve the sonic quality further. Shielding is made of 2 layers of heavy silver coated copper strands and 1 extra layer
of L.S.C in between. The 3T The Hill Hybrid has a remarkable spacious and clean sound character without any noticeable distortion.

3 Metre Pair Bananas or Spades. This massive 9 gauge cable is capable of handling deep bass notes played at high volume. Built from oxygen free copper with a computer
matched dieletric to provide proper impedence. Piano and voice are very realistic.

Please call us for availability of lengths and terminations.

3T The Cliff was developed with a quad centre construction without a screen layer. This enabled the reduction of capacitance
and produced one of the most flexible interconnects available. Each one of the four conductors is made of a single 400 micron 3T
conductor combined with eleven 150 micron 3T conductors. This interconnect delivers exceptional sonic results in both space
and resolution. It has particularly clear reproduction of even the most complex musical performance, even at high volume levels.

These are a truly special set of interconnects. They deliver extraordinary micro dynamics, wide sound stages, crisp details that reveal the nuances in a musical performance.

They deliver on all the small artistic things that pour emotion and magic into a HiFi system.

Available for audition instore. Our reference Digital cable.

If you’re lucky enough to own one of the new generation of mid-price DACs, then the Signature Digital would be a very good cable to try. The Signature Super ARAY Digital uses the same Super ARAY conductor geometry as Sarum and our flagship ChordMusic digital cables.  It replaces the previous Signature Tuned ARAY.

BNC to RCA and BNC to BNC terminations are available but usually for special order only. Please call us to discuss specific terminations.

With the MC - Silver IT 65 G all production handling is done with extreme care and maximum attention is paid to maintain a very constant characteristic impedance along the whole cable, as well as in the micro domain, to prevent signal reflections even up to very high frequencies. The centre lead consists of 19 extreme high grade Matched Crystal (MC) extruded OFC strands with a very thick and dense extruded Matched Crystal (MC) purest silver coating applied in a mechanical processing step.

Please call us to make sure we have the length you require in stock.

The MOUNTAIN is the mightiest of our 3T balanced interconnect range. No less than two .8 mm conductors, a thick L.S.C. layer, double screening and a dense Hulliflex jacket make this 11.3 mm thick cable a must-have for serious audio enthusiasts. Once connected you will never want to change to any other cable. This is True Transmission Technology at its best!

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.
