Nordost Valhalla Digital Interconnect
$1,999.99
The surface of each conductor is highly polished before a precision
dual micro mono-filament is wrapped around it. This technology uses two
FEP mono-filament threads wound around one another. These dual
Mono-Filaments are then drawn around the conductor in a very precise
helix pattern. This introduces more air space around the conductors and
insulation contact with the conductors is reduced by more than 85%. Each
conductor has 78 microns of extruded silver over a solid 8N OFC core.
In the 75 Ohm version a single conductor is used, while in the 110 Ohm
version two conductors are bonded together. A double layer of silver
shielding is then applied around them.
The cable has an effective dielectric constant of 1.38, which is
incredibly low, the reference point being air or a vacuum, which has a
dielectric constant of 1. The reduction of insulation contact by more
than 85% means that the current and digital signal traveling above the
surface of the conductor are virtually unimpeded by the insulation
material. This means that jitter and timing errors are virtually
eliminated. The result is a cable that allows every transient detail of
the musical signal to shine through without being filtered or rolled
off.
VALHALLA Digital interconnect cables are hand built in our factory in
the USA, and are available with 75 Ohm RCA or BNC connectors, or gold
plated 110 Ohm XLR connectors. These are selected for their sonic
properties and their impedance matching characteristics, ensuring that
they have the minimum effect on the digital signal.
Improvements in dynamic range, discrimination and musical
presence were just as dramatic.. Crisper, more direct, more immediate
and far more communicative. And all this from a digital interconnect?
The Valhalla Digital is just as impressive as the rest of the range,
enjoying the same margin of superiority over both the competition and
its own cheaper siblings.
