In today\u2019s society it is of the utmost importance that our technology be completely mobile. Along with the rest of the tech industry, music has also been \u201cmobilized\u201d. However, many audiophiles are unwilling to sacrifice quality for the convenience that portable audio provides. But with the launch of Nordost\u2019s new iKables, there are no more concessions\u2014the LS Blue Heaven and Heimdall 2 iKables finally make it possible to enjoy hifi quality sound from all of your portable audio devices.<\/p>\n

At their core, both the LS Blue Heaven and Heimdall 2 iKables are constructed from 4 silver plated\u00a0solid-core 24 AWG OFC conductors and employ Nordost\u2019s innovative precision FEP extrusion technology. This process greatly reduces the dielectric properties in the cables in order to increase signal speed and accuracy in signal transfer. This on its own makes a significant improvement upon the standard interconnects used with portable audio devices.<\/p>\n

However, the Heimdall 2 version takes it a step forward. The Heimdall 2 iKable uses Nordost\u2019s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology, suspending the conductors in a virtual air-dielectric which decreases the resistance and signal loss even further than what is possible with the Blue Heaven. Additionally, the Heimdall 2 iKable utilizes mechanically tuned lengths which are proven to reduce internal microphony and high frequency impedance resonance.<\/p>\n

Nordost iKables are the perfect solution for today\u2019s modern hifi enthusiast. They are made specifically for auxiliary inputs in aftermarket radios, car and home audio stereos, and are compatible with all portable audio devices. With the LS Blue Heaven and Heimdall 2 iKables you will never have to suffer through substandard sound again, regardless of your location.<\/p>\n
