Nordost has more to offer than the exclusive, reference-level products that we are best known for. Offering a complete range of products that are designed to complement all systems from the highest-end to the most modest, Nordost has something for every music lover. That is why we are especially excited when we get reviews featuring our introductory products\u2014 so that people can see how transformative our most elemental cables can be! In his review,\u00a0Nordost Purple Flare USB<\/a><\/em>, Jeff Dorgay looks into the improvements that our entry-level USB cable makes on a system. Dorgay explains that the deeper, more quiet background and \u201crelaxed feel\u201d that the Purple Flare USB<\/a> gives to the performance is something that even non-audiophiles can appreciate.<\/p>\n

\u201c[With the Purple Flare] great recordings feel larger and densely packed recordings open up more and are less fatiguing to listen to. Even my favorite live recording (and arguably one of the worst sounding records, ever)\u00a0KISS-Alive!\u00a0<\/em>perks up when delivered via the PF. I wanted the best and I got it.\u201d\u2014Jeff Dorgay<\/p>\n
