By utilizing a patent pending floating spring design, the Sort Lift\u00ae enhances the sonic performance of loudspeaker cables, power cords, and interconnects, by minimizing the points of contact that cables make with the ground and reducing boundary effects, without negatively affecting the resonant properties of the cables themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The Sort Lift\u00ae is composed of two integral components: the base and the springs. The base is a stable, anodized, aluminum disk, designed to inhibit any transference of electrical charge from the floor to the cable and eliminate static build-up on the dielectric itself. This base supports the proprietary Floating Spring System. The Floating Spring System uses a flexible, titanium alloy spring-wire, which makes up both the support wings and tension wire supports. In both elements, the alloy wire is coated in FEP, mirroring the design of Nordost cables and making the supports an extension of the cable jacket, eliminating any electrical interference, while allowing the cables to maintain their natural resonance properties.<\/p>\n<p>Sort Lifts\u00ae are provided in packs of two. They are intended to be spaced between 0.5 and 1 meter apart in distance, so that the cable does not come in contact with the floor. The spacing may depend on the weight and flexibility of the cable being supported. While designed to be used primarily with Nordost cables, any audio cable will benefit from using the Sort Lift\u00ae. Noticeable effects include an elevated sound stage, improved dynamic range, increased detail in low frequency reproductions and more natural timbre to the sound.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2218\" src=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Sort-Lifts-with-cable_hires-1024x438.jpg\" alt=\"Sort Lifts with cable_hires\" width=\"584\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Sort-Lifts-with-cable_hires-1024x438.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Sort-Lifts-with-cable_hires-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Sort-Lifts-with-cable_hires-500x214.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 85vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Proprietary Floating Spring System uses titanium\u00a0alloy and FEP coating<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Anodized aluminum base<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Reduces boundary effects and electrical interference<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Inhibits transference of electrical charge and rids the\u00a0dielectric of static build-up<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 Elevates sound stage, improves dynamic range, and\u00a0increases detail in low frequency reproductions<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2220 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sort-lift-stragint-on_hires-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"sort lift stragint on_hires\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sort-lift-stragint-on_hires-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sort-lift-stragint-on_hires-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sort-lift-stragint-on_hires-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 1st Nordost\u2019s Sort Lift\u00ae is the preeminent cable support in the consumer electronics industry, and is the latest addition to our Sort System.
