HEIMDALL 2 HEADPHONE CABLE
The Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable consists of 32 AWG 7/40
conductors which have been individually insulated and twisted using
Litz construction. Litz construction increases the pliability, as well
as eliminates triboelectric noise within the cable and improves upon
mechanical damping. In order to accommodate the added durability
demanded from headphone cables, Nordost has included an Aramid fiber
strength member to the construction of this cable. Integrating Aramid
fibers into the cable design not only ensures its mechanical integrity,
transferring the strain away from the cable’s conductors and to the
fibers themselves, but the resonating properties of Aramid fibers also
enhance sound quality.
To take things to the next level, the Heimdall 2 Headphone
Cable employs Nordost’s proprietary Micro Mono-Filament technology with
extruded FEP insulation around the conductors, as well as mechanically
tuned lengths, which reduce internal microphony and high-frequency
impedance resonance. As a result, the Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable acts
as the ideal conduit to transfer an amazingly realistic reproduction of
sound from your system to your hifi headphones.
The Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable is available with a variety of
termination options that are compatible with all major players in the
headphone market. Each cable is 2M and is terminated with a 4 pin
balanced XLR male connector on the source end and also includes two
adapters which are comprised of identical construction and technology as
the headphone cable itself, and have also been cut to specific,
mechanically tuned lengths. Both adaptors are terminated with a 4 pin
balanced XLR female connector on one end and either a 3.5mm stereo mini
or a 1/4in stereo phono on the opposite end.
From the Audio Beat:
The bottom line is that the Heimdall 2 is the headphone
cable to beat. While it's not inexpensive, my comparative listening clearly demonstrated
that you can spend a lot more on a custom headphone cable without getting better sound. In
addition to that world-class performance, the cable packs in far more proprietary
technology than most of the competition, and builds it into a truly sexy-looking length of
wire. And unless you go with one of the silk-encased headphone cables, nothing comes close
to the unobtrusive comfort of the Heimdall 2. It’s so good that the boost it gives to
headphone performance may change your listening habits. Fewer leases will be broken and
more marriages might endure -- although whether that will be down to lower noise levels or
lower levels of interaction is anybody’s guess.
