High-Purity Conductors

Each interconnect uses ten solid-core, silver-plated, 23 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors — chosen for their excellent conductivity and ability to convey nuance and dynamics.

Dual Mono-Filament & TSC Construction

Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology suspends each conductor in a virtual air dielectric that reduces dielectric contact and capacitance — leading to faster signal transmission and lower distortion. The mechanically tuned spacing and Total Signal Control (TSC) principles further refine performance and reduce resonance.

Superior Shielding

Each conductor is individually shielded for 100 % total coverage, guarding against electromagnetic (EMI) and radio-frequency (RFI) interference for a cleaner, quieter signal path.

In short, Nordost’s Odin 2 doesn’t just push the envelope of how unforced audio can sound through a cable; it breaks the sound barrier. Nordost’s original Odin set high standards for cables, whether viewed individually, or in ideal circumstances taken as a complete system. And Odin 2 takes that to another level. The best that became ‘one of the best’ has just returned to its place at the head of the table. Wow!

When the subject of conversation turns to the best cable manufacturers in the world, Nordost is usually one of the names that comes up. Their Frey 2 line combines a goodly amount of knowledge and engineering harnessed from their vaunted Valhalla cables, at an attainable price point -- no mean feat, given that they were designed and are made entirely in the US. Their terrific resolving ability is married to a sound of prodigious size and scale, qualities that any listener will be able to appreciate. Norse god Freyr would no doubt agree -- suksess!
