Blue Heaven USB Cable
The Blue Heaven USB 2.0 Data Cable sets a new technological and performance standard when it comes to computer audio. Nordost's proven, proprietary FEP and Micro Mono-Filament construction delivers low dielectric loss and minimizes cable induced timing errors in critical digital signals.
This cable is purpose built from four OFC conductors, optimally dimensioned for digital signal transfer. These are precision wound, double shielded and terminated, to ensure geometrical and sonic consistency. Full metal jacket, in-molded connectors extend both precision and shielding, while gold-plated contacts maintain optimum signal transfer.
The result is an ultra high-speed, low-loss cable, specifically designed to deliver the best possible performance from computer audio sources. Superior technology, superior materials and superior build quality all add up to one thing–superior sound.
Lengths over 2m available: £125 per additional meter
Blue Heaven
Nordost’s Blue Heaven range is the third tier in our entry-level, Leif family. A reference amongst affordably priced audio cables, the Blue Heaven range has made a big impact on music enthusiasts and has been converting hifi novices into audiophiles for years.
Blue Heaven cables incorporate Nordost’s core cable design, including silver-plated, solid core conductors and their innovative FEP extrusion process as well as integrating patented Micro Mono-Filament technology in its power and digital interconnect cables. This combination provides a near perfect virtual air dielectric with excellent mechanical damping. Thanks to such precise and advanced engineering, listeners are able to enjoy both the subtle nuances and explosive dynamics captured in a recording that would otherwise be lost in transmission.
Our extensive Blue Heaven range allows consumers to maintain a consistent sonic signature and design philosophy throughout an entire system. Whether you are seeking audio, video, personal or portable cables, Blue Heaven has the solution. Only Blue Heaven cables will enable you to reap this caliber of superior performance out of each one of your components at such a reasonable price point.
USB Cables
Computer audio can finally compete with analog systems thanks to Nordost’s range of USB cables. These USB cables provide the solution you need to achieve the superb sound staging, wide dynamic range, precise timing, and emotion you have been looking for in computer audio. With a wide variety of both termination possibilities and standards, Nordost’s USB selection has you covered for virtually any component in the hifi industry that requires a USB connection. Only Nordost’s, high-speed, low-loss cables will ensure that all the necessary information will be delivered with the efficiency and diligence needed to maintain the correct impedance, dramatically lifting your hifi system to a new level of performance.
