Nordost Tyr 2 + phono cable

The phono output cable is one of the most critical audio cables in a hi-fi system. The fragile nature of the analogue audio signals it carries requires specific, low-capacity, low-resistance conductors in order to be able to retranscribe all the musical information without loss or distortion.

Nordost TYR 2 + Tonearm Cable: Technology

The Nordost Tyr 2 + Tonearm Cable uses 4 x 0.162 mm² conductors twisted in pairs to create a left and right channel. They are individually shielded to eliminate crosstalk between the channels and keep noise to a minimum. To this is added a shielded, silver-plated Mono-Filament Micro link cable that runs along the left and right channels to help minimise noise and electromagnetic interference. However, what sets this cable apart from the competition is the grounding solution chosen by Nordost. The manufacturer offers detachable, silver-plated earth cables featuring Micro Mono-Filament technology. These earthing cables completely eliminate any noise that might be introduced during signal transfer.

The Nordost Tyr 2 + reproduces sound with absolute precision and neutrality! The midrange is extremely pure and of unprecedented resolution. The treble is remarkably fine and of a nuance rarely achieved. The articulation and precision of the bass leave you speechless! The legibility in this part of the spectrum is certainly a benchmark. The soundstage is very spacious and also offers remarkable legibility in the various depths. The focus of the various loudspeakers is flawlessly precise. With the Nordost Tyr 2+ phono cable, the music seems more present and more realistic than with competing cables. All this also seems to be the result of the absolute silence conveyed by the Tyr 2+. In fact, its grounding system makes this cable completely silent. It generates no noise at high or low frequencies. The Nordost Tyr 2 + Phono offers extremely balanced, natural reproduction with remarkable neutrality. The Nordost Tyr 2+ could convince even the most recalcitrant of us as to the usefulness of a quality phono cable. In fact, this phono cable demonstrates just how complex it is to transmit the tiny analogue signal coming from the cartridge. The quality offered by the Tyr 2+ is something that's hard to live without after spending several hours with it!

A benchmark!
