Nordost Norse Jumper Cables - 2 Pairs
After paying so much time and attention to the integrity of your sound system, why degrade its performance by neglecting the last few inches of crucial cabling. Nordost’s Norse 2 Bi-Wire Jumpers are the perfect solution for achieving exceptional sound by replacing the standard, bent metal plates and generic wires supplied with most bi-wire loudspeakers. The Norse 2 jumper uses a silver-plated, solid core OFC conductor which is wrapped in a precise spiral of Micro Mono-Filament before being covered in an outer layer of FEP insulation and cut at a specific, mechanically tuned length. This dedicated design provides a straight-line, low-loss jumper that ensures optimum results. The difference that a well-engineered jumper makes in sound quality is astonishing, and these improvements are magnified that much more when maintaining the same core cable technology throughout. This set includes 4 Jumper cables enough cable to do both left and right speakers.

About Nordost Cables
American cable maker known for mono-filament wrapped conductors and flat speaker cable geometry.
Nordost designs, engineers, manufactures and assembles its cables in the USA. Its cables use FEP insulation with an air dielectric and a patented Micro or Dual Mono-Filament wrap process, and its speaker cables use a flat design. The catalogue runs from interconnects and speaker cables to power, USB and Ethernet cables.

Air is part of the insulation
The Mono-Filament wrap is the method that lets Nordost support the conductor inside FEP insulation so that air, rather than solid plastic, surrounds it. Air is an excellent dielectric, which is why the construction matters for how the cable handles the signal.
Flat cables and tuned lengths
Nordost speaker cables use a flat design, and its cables come in mechanically tuned lengths. HOLO:PLUG connectors and Total Signal Control shielding complete the set of technologies the company describes on its own site. Bi-wire jumpers, tonearm cables and subwoofer cables are part of the catalogue too.
More than cables
Alongside cables, Nordost makes QRT audio enhancers and SORT resonance control products, which deal with vibration rather than signal transmission. The cable lines run LEIF, NORSE, Reference/Valhalla and Supreme Reference/Odin, in the order Nordost lists them, so you can build your system at several price levels from a single maker.
Why we stock Nordost
Nordost sit at the top of what we sell, and they are also the reason we can burn in cables ourselves. We run Nordost Vidar machines in our workshop, so every eligible cable leaves us already conditioned on their equipment. Very few retailers can say that, and it is why the service is free on your order.

Build quality is described as excellent, with attractive appearance and solid construction. Multiple reviewers express surprise at the performance-to-price ratio relative to more expensive alternatives. Installation is straightforward, and customer service receives positive mention. All reviewers recommend the product without reservation. No recurring negative themes or complaints were identified in these reviews.
I couldn't be more pleased. I was really surprised by how good they are, considering the cost compared to other, more expensive makes.
Although not massively, the sound is now clearer and I hear more sounds from the music/sound stage than I did before. I certainly recommend them.
I couldn't be more pleased. Really surprised at how good they really are!
These were a natural choice,and fitted the requirements of running between a set of stacked Quad ESLs.
The sound quality of the cable sets is much improved over my previous Kimber sets,and I can not only recommend the cables,but also the service from FutureShop,which made buying these a pleasure.
The Nordost jumpers replaced the metal links on my big Spendor speakers.
Frankly the difference in sound was amazing, like a veil had been taken off the speakers with sweeter treble, more definition and tighter bass. Highly recommended.
