We’ve received some fantastic reviews and awards over the years for our products. When we get new reviews, we do our best to make sure that everyone knows. We spread the word through social media, blogs, emails, and tell anyone willing to listen! However, once the press starts piling up, and new products start to get their time in the spotlight, these amazing reviews can tend to be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you always have access to these great reviews, thanks to the Reviews Page<\/a> on the Nordost website, we want to make sure that if you are considering an upgrade, or just want to learn more about a specific product, you can do so easily. So\u2026 let’s start with power cords! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog puts together some of our favorite power cord reviews, so that you can see all of these informative articles at once!

Purple Flare: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAR Reviews the Nordost Purple Flare Power Cord<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCutting to the chase: the Nordost cable sounds better. It shines a light into music\u2019s murkier corners exposing greater subtleties, most notably lengthening the tail of each piano note\u2019s natural decay And yet, paradoxically, the additional intensity<\/a> brought by the Nordost wire also sounded more relaxed. Joining the dots between amped up fervour and greater repose\u2026\u201d \u2013 Darko Audio <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi-Fi Choice Reviews the Blue Heaven Power Cord<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The overall performance is clear and refined with a very low noise floor. The Blue Heaven is certainly a very good value-for-money, high-quality power cable option.” \u2013 Hi-Fi Choice <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>NOVO Reviews the Blue Heaven Power Cord<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the Nordost Blue Heaven power cord connected to the amplifier, I was immediately rewarded with a lower noise floor and an improved sonic experience\u2026There\u2019s no question that as far as cables go, power cables play a fundamental<\/a> role in the performance of an audio system. Even an affordable cable like the Nordost Blue Heaven power cord can make a significant contribution to improving your music listening experience.\u201d \u2013 NOVO<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audiophilia Reviews Frey 2 Speaker Cables, Interconnects and Power Cords<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Nordost cables get out of the way of the music and the environment in which it was recorded. The focus is in the quality playback and not the cables elbowing for top billing. As such, they have outstanding synergy.\u201d \u2013 Audiophilia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no question in my mind that the Norse 2 Tyr 2s sound superb. Inserting them in an already great-sounding system previously lashed up with their little brother Freys, I clearly heard consistent gains in all categories of sound.\u201d \u2013 SoundStage! Ultra<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Absolute Sound Reviews Valhalla 2 Interconnects, Speaker Cables, and Power Cords<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile the cumulative effect of having an all Nordost cable system is always the most pronounced, the effect of merely replacing one single power cable to your amplifier\u2014for example\u2014is something to be experienced.\u201d \u2013 The Absolute Sound<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hifi Critic Reviews Valhalla 2 Interconnects, Speaker Cables, and Power Cords<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cV2 power cabling saw timing and swing improved dramatically, bringing greater drive and dynamic realism. Stereo focus also improved, with layers now more secure and solid, and the whole system seemed to breathe more deeply, with heightened shading and colour.\u201d \u2013 HiFi Critic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
