Nordost’s new Tonearm Cable+ redesign optimizes every aspect of tonearm cable construction, from conductor layout and shielding to grounding capability, to ensure the fidelity of signal transfer and reveal subtle musical nuances, while completely eliminating noise from the signal chain. It is available in the Blue Heaven, Heimdall 2, Frey 2, and Tyr 2 tiers.
According to the information published, the design for Nordost’s new line of tonearm cables comes directly from the recent Valahalla 2 tonearm cable redesign. As with the V2 Tonearm Cable+, which was released in the summer of 2019, Nordost’s new tonearm cables are constructed using four, silver-plated, solid core OFC conductors, arranged in a twisted pair design. Using a twisted pair design on its own helps to minimize noise. However, Nordost are separately wrapping the left and right channels with silver, braided shielding, to completely eliminate inter-channel cross-talk.
Nordost says that the most exciting feature found in the new tonearm cables comes in the form of a new, comprehensive grounding solution. This two-part design is guaranteed to provide proper and complete grounding, offering a solution for every combination of components and connections found between all the different turntables and phono stages on the market. Part one is a completely isolated, silver-plated bond wire, wrapped in Micro Mono-Filament before being extruded in FEP insulation and separately shielded within the cable jacket. Part two consists of two, detachable, silver-plated ground whips, complete with Micro Mono-Filament technology, which are included with each cable. When needed, these ground whips connect to the cable’s shielding, totally eliminating any noise that could be introduced during signal transfer.
Each Tonearm Cable+ is available with straight or 90° low-mass MoonGlo 5-pin Din, RCA, or XLR terminations. All ground whips and bond wires are terminated with gold-plated 5mm spades.
