Nordost Frey Speaker Cable Review

Use nordost for system that don t do pop music.

Nordost frey speaker cable review. As such they have outstanding. The nordost frey is a rising star to the top tier of cables and receives my highest recommendation. Recently upgraded frey 2 cable is the sweet spot wire of nordost s mid priced norse 2 collection. My history with tyr 2 started when vtl s luke manley recommended updating my decade plus old tara labs zero and omega cables with something from nordost.

Review by brett rudolph several years ago at the beginning of my career as a reviewer i had the opportunity to work with audio and video cables almost exclusively at the time it felt like regardless how amazing a cable sounded there was always another to take its place. But it falls on attack and bass which cable talk 4 1 surprisingly wins nordost in this aspect. They are a perfect reviewer s tool capable of communicating the sonic signatures of components and source material. The use of consistent technology and materials across the norse 2 series allows you to easily build a coherent cable solution maximizing system performance.

To summarise review the cable goes for clarity openness and detail. I ve replaced cable talk 4 1 with this nordost biwire version. The focus is in the quality playback and not the cables elbowing for top billing. September 2015 nordost cables complete nordost system approach nordost cables leaves me speechless.

Frey 2 speaker cables offer superb detail dynamic range and weight recreating the natural beauty and impact of any musical performance. But while the celestials are the best cables i ve ever heard the frey 2s especially the speaker cables and interconnects offer a very high level of performance that should please the most discerning audiophile. In truth it s actually only one player in a much larger bloodline that in its complexity begins to resemble the competing factions in game of thrones the addictive hbo series overflowing with intrigue swords and sex. This while preparing to review his company s s 200 signature stereo amplifier see issue 291.

The core design echoes the entry leif range but introduces advanced technology such as dual mono filament and mechanically tuned lengths. Nordost itself offers several higher performance lines of cables above and beyond the frey 2s which are decidedly more capable. Again the nordost frey interconnects and especially the speaker cables seemed to push the front of the soundstage a bit closer to the back of the soundstage and tended to foreshorten the total stage depth as a result. Result is as if a filter is removed from the speakers.
