The cable is in mint condition. Hardly used and not even run in. Purchased in Australia from authorised seller. 1,25m 5pin Din to XLR Cable Nordost Heimdall is a serious threat to high-priced interconnects. Using 4 Solid OFC conductors with Nordost’s proprietary Silver Surface, Heimdall delivers a high level of musicality from the very bottom to the extreme top of the frequency range. The Mono-Filament conductors are wrapped with a Helix wound thread and then placed in Nordost’s proprietary insulator to ensure a practically perfect “air-dielectric.” The cables are then terminated with Nordost's gold-plated, copper connectors. This combination of four Mono-Filament conductors, will give your system tremendous imaging and musical insight into the performance, while delivering Nordost’s tremendous speed and dynamic presentation. This is our best selling Nordost cable, and now at 50% off, don't miss this incredible opportunity. Put a few into your system and you’ll immediately hear what you've been missing! "[Heimdalls] sound clear and wonderful, and almost as good to me as the Valhallas...there's no question in my mind that the Heimdall interconnect and speaker cables are worth every penny, and then some." - Art Dudley, Stereophile Nordost cables use multiple, individually insulated solid core conductors. Their use virtually eliminates distortion and skin effect. Their extrusion process is the best in the business. Once extruded, it cannot ever degrade or oxidize, ensuring Nordost cables will last a lifetime. Any conventional cable using PVC or Polyethylene insulators has begun to deteriorate from the moment of manufacture resulting in an imperfect surface which compromises signal integrity. Nordost exclusively uses solid core silver over oxygen free copper for breathtaking performance. All cables produced are completely impervious to their environment and will perform at the same level of musicality for the life of the cable.
