Getting into vinyl isn’t just about collecting records—it’s about rediscovering the way music feels. But to truly experience what your records are capable of, every part of your setup matters—including the tonearm cable.

All this is made possible thanks to the precision-engineering of its twisted pair design, which creates fully isolated left and right channels complete with dual shielding for cleaner separation and greater clarity.

White Lightning

Nordost’s White Lightning range is the entry-level product line in the Leif family. White Lightning interconnects and speaker cables employ Nordost’s core cable design of silver-plated, solid core conductors in conjunction with an innovative FEP extrusion process to bring a level of sophistication and dimension to even the most basic set-up.

Tonearm Cables

The signals traveling between the turntable and the phono preamp are the most delicate in the analog audio system chain. It is therefore essential to use a dedicated, low-capacitance tonearm cable in your vinyl-sourced hifi system, in order to deliver every last nuance of musical detail contained in your LPs. Nordost combines the latest innovations in cable geometry, mechanical properties, and grounding solutions to produce a revolutionary line of tonearm cables. Every tonearm cable throughout Nordost’s extensive range of options, not only protects against signal loss and image smearing, but also eliminates noise from the signal chain in virtually any analog system.

Right from the off, this Blue Heaven tonearm cable proved an improvement over the original. It produced an even more musical, engaging and detailed soundscape, no doubt in part due to the lower noise floor, which encourages you to turn the music up, as well as making listening at lower volumes much more rewarding.
