Nordost frey speaker cable review.

Frey interconnects and speaker cables are the most transparent and least colored components i ve ever had in my system. Nordost frey 2 speaker cables interconnects and power cords the nordost cables get out of the way of the music and the environment in which it was recorded. Again the nordost frey interconnects and especially the speaker cables seemed to push the front of the soundstage a bit closer to the back of the soundstage and tended to foreshorten the total stage depth as a result. But it falls on attack and bass which cable talk 4 1 surprisingly wins nordost in this aspect.

They are a perfect reviewer s tool capable of communicating the sonic signatures of components and source material. Nordost itself offers several higher performance lines of cables above and beyond the frey 2s which are decidedly more capable. My history with tyr 2 started when vtl s luke manley recommended updating my decade plus old tara labs zero and omega cables with something from nordost. Frey 2 speaker cables offer superb detail dynamic range and weight recreating the natural beauty and impact of any musical performance.

The use of consistent technology and materials across the norse 2 series allows you to easily build a coherent cable solution maximizing system performance. Use nordost for system that don t do pop music. But while the celestials are the best cables i ve ever heard the frey 2s especially the speaker cables and interconnects offer a very high level of performance that should please the most discerning audiophile. The nordost frey is a rising star to the top tier of cables and receives my highest recommendation.

As such they have outstanding. Review by brett rudolph several years ago at the beginning of my career as a reviewer i had the opportunity to work with audio and video cables almost exclusively at the time it felt like regardless how amazing a cable sounded there was always another to take its place. September 2015 nordost cables complete nordost system approach nordost cables leaves me speechless. I ve replaced cable talk 4 1 with this nordost biwire version.

Like most fine engineering companies with an eye on business quality and consistency nordost s frey 2 cables benefit from some generous trickle down from the valhalla and odin lines. To summarise review the cable goes for clarity openness and detail. The core design echoes the entry leif range but introduces advanced technology such as dual mono filament and mechanically tuned lengths. This while preparing to review his company s s 200 signature stereo amplifier see issue 291.
