Purple Flare 3 Power Cord

PURPLE FLARE 3 POWER CORD

When you listen to your system, a lot of what you're hearing is the responsibility of the power cord. The music enjoyed from your hi-fi system is little more than AC power, transformed by components to reproduce a melody. The quality of this reproduction is directly determined by the caliber of power cord, which facilitates this transfer of raw electricity to the equipment. By simply upgrading the AC cable in your set up, the audible difference is remarkable. Unlike other cables, a power cord does not transmit a signal: It conducts AC power. The success of this cable is gauged by its capacity to deliver a sturdy, instantaneous current as well as its ability to reduce the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequencies (RF) coming from outside sources.

The Purple Flare 3 Power Cord uses Nordost's proven, proprietary high-speed, low-loss Micro Mono-Filament construction, applied to three 16 AWG OFC conductors, which have then been extruded with FEP insulation. This unique cable design provides the crucial foundation needed at the base of any successful sound system, heightening the realism of sound systems.

LEIF –  UNIVERSAL CABLE SYSTEM

Nordost’s entry level cable ranges are perfect examples of quality cabling set at an affordable price range. The Leif family uses scientifically proven methods and technology derived from the development of our Valhalla and Odin ranges and applies their basic principles to create cables which evoke dynamic, low-loss and realistic performances from even modest components and loudspeakers.

Leif cables are constructed using silver-plated, OFC solid core conductors, which form the basis of Nordost’s great sound. The conductors are then treated with Nordost’s innovative precision FEP extrusion process, where each conductor is individually enclosed in FEP insulation. This technique greatly reduces the dielectric properties of the cables in order to increase signal speeds and accuracy in signal transfer.

To build upon this foundation, Leif cables are designed with a mechanically tuned construction that optimizes the dimensions and spacing of conductors to reduce dielectric effects even further.
