Huge Improvements On a Winning Formula
Nordost's Frey 2 boasts impressive conductor numbers, enhanced ground integrity, lower noise floor, greater detail, dynamic range and musical impact than its predecessor, the original Frey. Twenty-two 22AWG silver-plated 99.99999 OFC copper solid core conductors increase weight and energy at bandwidth extremes for more scale and greater drama, while at the other end of the scale, the blacker backgrounds and greater resolution increase delicacy and intimacy, allowing you to hear further into the performance.
"Frey 2 has rebalanced the scales, taking the transient and micro-dynamic elements of the past and integrating them with richer mids and a brawnier, meatier bottom end that gives music more discernible, atmosphere and weight. In a word, there's more fidelity to the live event."
– Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound
"...the Frey 2s really sang, delicately treading the fine line
between airiness and glassy brightness, concision and that etched quality that many
audiophiles have likely encountered in their never-ending journey toward aural
enlightenment."
– Hans Wetzel, SoundStage
The new, second generation Frey 2 loudspeaker cables deliver a level of performance not previously possible at this price point. Nordost's proprietary Micro Mono-Filament construction creates a virtual air dielectric complete with an elegantly engineered suspension system. Combined with silver-plated OFC solid-core conductors and extruded, flat ribbon FEP insulation, the result is the ideal electrical and mechanically controlled construction for ultra-fast, low-loss signal transfer between amplifier and loudspeakers.
More conductors mean even more detail, dynamic range and weight, allowing Frey 2 to deliver even greater scale and musical impact, while the use of carefully optimized, mechanically tuned construction ensures that you’ll hear the gains at both ends of the spectrum, with improved delicacy, dynamic and harmonic discrimination bringing performances to life. The use of consistent technology and materials across the Norse Series allows you to easily build a coherent cable solution, with dedicated designs for each specific function maximizing system performance.
