A 3 x 16 AWG Micro Mono-Filament cable with silver-plated, solid core OFC conductors, and FEP insulation.
New for 2024, Nordost’s Leif 3 line moves the bar for entry-level cable ever higher. The third Leif series is the culmination of years of technological breakthroughs and advancements in craftsmanship, meticulously refined to meet the modern demands of mid-fi and hi-fi sound systems. They leverage optimal materials, unique geometry, and filter-less technology to unlock dynamic, low-loss, and lifelike performances from any audio system.
The "Wall Interconnect"
You listen to the modulated electricity from your wall, so well-engineered power cords are an extremely important part of a high-fidelity system.
Derived from years of research and development, Leif 3 Power Cords inherit the design principles of Nordost's esteemed reference-level products. Utilizing FEP extrusion and Micro Mono-Filament technology, each heavy-gauge, high-current conductor is meticulously wrapped with an FEP filament to create a virtual air gap within its own, individual FEP tube. This ensures the uninterrupted flow of AC power, allowing your system to effortlessly deliver dynamic nuances in music.
Leif 3 Power cords are distinguished for ultra-fast, low-loss design, preserving the low source impedance of the AC supply for optimal performance.
Purple Flare
The Purple Flare 3 Power Cord uses Nordost's proven, proprietary high-speed, low-loss Micro Mono-Filament construction, applied to 16 AWG silver-plated, solid core 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.
