LEIF – UNIVERSAL CABLE SYSTEM
Nordost’s entry level cable ranges are perfect examples of quality cabling set at an affordable price range. The Leif family uses scientifically proven methods and technology derived from the development of our Valhalla and Odin ranges and applies their basic principles to create cables which evoke dynamic, low-loss and realistic performances from even modest components and loudspeakers.
Leif cables are constructed using silver-plated, OFC solid core conductors, which form the basis of Nordost’s great sound. The conductors are then treated with Nordost’s innovative precision FEP extrusion process, where each conductor is individually enclosed in FEP insulation. This technique greatly reduces the dielectric properties of the cables in order to increase signal speeds and accuracy in signal transfer.
To build upon this foundation, Leif cables are designed with a mechanically tuned construction that optimizes the dimensions and spacing of conductors to reduce dielectric effects even further.

THE JOURNEY TO HIGHER QUALITY AUDIO WITH NORDOST LEIF CABLES
"Let me tell you a little secret about building a high-end music system: Cables play a much more important role in your hi-fi system than you might realize.

NORDOST LEIF PURPLE FLARE SPEAKER CABLES AND INTERCONNECTS
"I heard differences almost from the get-go, and those differences were improvements: better resolution of low-level details, and better spatial definition... Nordost cables lend a touch of high-tech finishing to an audio system that most other cables, particularly affordable ones, don’t."
