Tyr
ANALOG INTERCONNECT CABLE
The Tyr interconnect uses four 22 AWG solid OFC
conductors with a silver-plated surface of 60 microns.
Featuring our advanced dual mono-fi lament
technology, this reduces insulation contact by more
than 85% allowing signals to be transferred more
effi ciently, accurately and at extremely high speeds. For
optimum performance single-ended Tyr interconnect
cables are terminated with WBT NextGen gold plated
copper RCA connectors. These low mass plugs offer the
perfect impedance matching between the cable and
equipment. Tyr is also available with carefully selected
balanced terminations. This cable offers superb
coherence, detail and realism in a musical performance.

TYR LOUDSPEAKER CABLE
The Tyr loudspeaker cable consists of twenty 22 AWG
OFC conductors with a 60 microns silver-plated surface,
arranged in a fl at array. Mono-fi lament design reduces
insulation contact with the conductors by more than
80% which means signals are virtually unimpeded by
the insulation material. With an effective dielectric
constant of 1.12 Tyr loudspeaker cables transfer signals
very effi ciently at extremely high speeds, resulting
in superb detail and musical realism. Tyr is available
terminated with low-mass Nordost Z plugs or gold-
plated spades. Wire your system with a full loom of Tyr
cables and be awed by its realism and detail.

“…we’ve grievously underestimated the
importance of cables, both collectively and
relative to each other. So, not only does the cable
loom create the foundation on which system
performance is built, but it starts not with the
signal cables but at your wall sockets… First
priority is the cable from your electricity supply to
your distribution block: then the block itself, the
rest of the power cords (star earthed through the
block and with a clean earth too, of course)…“

Tonearm Cables
Turntables demand a dedicated wiring solution,
optimized for the special connectors and extremely
low signal levels involved. Given Nordost’s
commitment to creating a coherent cable loom,
from the wall sockets feeding your system all the
way to the speaker terminals, cables specifi cally
designed for phono duties were an essential step
in maximizing system performance. These leads
combine dimensionally optimized, solid 99.999999
OFC conductors with a silver-plated surface, mono-
fi lament insulation and a choice of a high-grade 90
degree mini-din connector or phono plugs. They
are all dual shielded with dedicated drain wires for
grounding, and have a minimum length of 1.25
meters, but can be ordered in longer lengths by half
meter increments.
HEIMDALL TONEARM CABLE
The Heimdall tone arm cable uses four conductors
suspended by our
mono-fi lament
technology for
superb musical
performance.
The cable is
terminated with
professional grade,
Tefl on insulated Neutrik
RCA connectors, a conductor/
termination package that
makes the Heimdall
tonearm cable
an absolute
bargain
and a major
performance
upgrade for your turntable.
FREY TONEARM CABLE
The Frey tonearm cable uses six conductors in a
precision mono-fi lament construction combined
with a high-grade 90 degree mini-din connector
or Tefl on insulated Neutrik RCA plugs. The tight
dimensional tolerances and dual shields protect fragile
phono signals from both mechanical and electrical
interference, while premium connectors ensure
maximum information transfer, whether your tonearm
employs an external junction box or an IEJ din socket.
TYR TONEARM CABLE
Top-fl ight turntables demand the best possible
ancillaries – and given the costs involved in the
best record decks, tonearms and cartridges, any
comprise in the performance of the interconnects
is a false economy of the worst kind. Likewise, given
the fragility of the signal generated, the potential for
damage is even greater than with any other source
component. The Tyr tonearm cable matches precisely
arranged dual micro mono-fi lament conductors
with WBT’s NextGen connectors to preserve the
astonishing levels of coherent information and musical
nuance that only the best vinyl sources can produce.
With even lower propagation delay and superior
mechanical damping compared to our other tonearm
leads, the Tyr tonearm cable delivers the most natural
and musical performances you’ll ever have heard from
your turntable. This is one upgrade you really owe
your record player – and yourself.
Power cords
Nordost Power Cables are extremely neutral and
dynamic due to the use of our proprietary micro
mono-fi lament technology. They are equally at home
optimizing the performance of Plasma Screens,
Projectors and LCD displays as they are powering
amplifi ers and other audio components.
Our power cords employ silver-plated Oxygen Free
Copper conductors and then individually suspending
them in a micro mono-fi lament matrix. The separately
insulated cores eliminate strand interaction, hot spots
and carbonization, which can occur in stranded
cables, thus ensuring optimum performance. Extruded
FEP insulation is superior to all other materials due to
its very low signal loss and high thermal effi ciency. It
dissipates heat very quickly and allows greater power
to be transferred more effi ciently. Micro mono-
fi lament technology also increases current fl ow,
delivering transmission speed in excess of 85% the
speed of light. It lowers the resistance of the cable,
preserving the benefi ts of your power supply’s low
source impedance. Combining these high technology
wires with carefully selected connectors guarantees
the best possible power supply for your system.
