Nordost’s Brand new Leif Series 3

Nordost’s entry-level "Leif" line of cabling has simply taken a serious step ahead with the introduction of Leif Series 3 ("Leif 3"). Gauge and terminations on all the Leif sequence—White Lightning 3, Purple Flare 3, Blue Heaven 3, Red Dawn 3—have been upgraded. Even the lowest-price energy cable has elevated gauge plus the welcome addition of a floor wire. Gauge dimension and variety of conductors has elevated, permitting compatibility with a broader vary of parts. Power cable costs vary from $259.99/1m for Purple Flair 3 to $559.99/1m for Red Dawn 3.

Interconnects, too, have obtained an entire redesign. All cabling employs silver-plated stable OFC solid-core conductors, aesthetically improved FEP insulation, and mechanically tuned building. Speaker cable costs are $474.99/1m pair for White Lightning 3 as much as $1129.99/1m pair for Red Dawn 3.

It was nice to reconnect eventually with Nordost’s pleasant head honcho Joe Reynolds. He and Nordost UK distributor John Carroll managed to fulfill the problem of posing with the brand new cabling whereas projecting a semblance of a smile.

What’s subsequent for Nordost? It might take a couple of extra reveals, however I’ll guess one thing scrumptious is poised to make its look.
