Nordost Purple Flare 3 power cable

The Nordost Purple Flare 3 power cable may not look very impressive, but don't be fooled. The use of top-of-the-range conductors and high-performance connectors, all carefully assembled, gives it remarkable performance.

Nordost Purple Flare 3: Construction

The Nordost Purple Flare 3 uses 3 conductors with a cross-section of 1.3 mm². These are made from 65 strands of 99.9999% pure OFC copper. The electrical insulation is made of FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene).
Capacitance is around 10 pF and resistance below 5 ohms.
It is fitted with a gold-plated proprietary Schuko plug and a 15 A IEC C13 plug.
Note that on this new version, the cable is fitted with two black ferrite-like rings.

Nordost Purple Flare 3: Reproduction

This cable improves the accuracy of the soundstage and promotes accurate reproduction in general.
It doesn't seem to favour one part of the spectrum and the tonal balance is excellent for a cable at this price.
We recommend it for equipment with low current requirements, such as phono preamps, CD players, amplifiers, etc.
