Nordost Purple Flare 3 Power Cable

About The Nordost Purple Flare 3 Power Cable

When you listen to your system, a lot of what you're hearing is the responsibility of the power cable. 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 calibre of the power cable, 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 cable 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.

To maximize the potential of your audio system, a sturdy foundation is essential. The power cables employed in hi-fi setups play a pivotal role in this foundation, directly impacting the performance capabilities of audio components. Nordost’s Leif 3 Power Cables are engineered to unlock newfound potential, even in modest systems, offering a gateway to elevated audio experiences.

Derived from years of research and development, Leif 3 Power Cables inherit the design principles of Nordost’s esteemed reference-level products, Valhalla 2 and Odin 2. Utilizing FEP extrusion and Nordost’s proprietary Micro Mono-Filament technology, each heavy-gauge 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 cables are distinguished for ultra-fast, low-loss design, preserving the low source impedance of the AC supply for optimal performance. Introducing White Lightning 3 power cables into your system promises to enrich the dynamics, colour, and texture of sonic reproduction, heightening the realism of your system and allowing you to immerse yourself in the performance.
