Overview

The Frey 2 Power Cord is engineered to handle the demanding power requirements of high-end audio equipment while effectively minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). By using silver-plated conductors, Nordost’s Micro Mono-Filament technology, and high-quality insulation, the Frey 2 Power Cord ensures that your components receive a clean and uninterrupted flow of power, allowing them to perform at their highest potential. This power cord represents a significant upgrade over standard cables, delivering an enhanced listening experience with improved detail, dynamics, and overall soundstage.

Key Features

• Micro Mono-Filament Technology: The Frey 2 Power Cord incorporates Nordost’s proprietary Micro Mono-Filament technology, which involves wrapping each conductor with a fine FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) thread. This creates a virtual air dielectric around the conductors, significantly reducing insulation contact and capacitance. This technology ensures faster signal transmission, greater power efficiency, and improved sound quality, resulting in a more open, dynamic, and detailed listening experience.
• Silver-Plated, Solid-Core Conductors: The Frey 2 Power Cord is constructed with solid-core, silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. This combination provides superior conductivity and minimizes signal loss, ensuring that power is delivered efficiently and accurately to your audio components. The silver plating enhances high-frequency performance, contributing to improved clarity and detail.
• Low-Loss FEP Insulation: Each conductor in the Frey 2 Power Cord is insulated with extruded FEP, offering excellent dielectric properties and minimizing signal loss. This low-loss insulation helps preserve the integrity of the electrical signal, ensuring that your audio equipment receives a clean and stable power supply.
• Precision Construction: The Frey 2 Power Cord is designed with an optimized cable geometry that maintains consistent impedance and reduces EMI and RFI, resulting in a cleaner, more stable power supply to your audio components. This precision construction plays a crucial role in delivering a noise-free and distortion-free listening experience.
• High-Quality Connectors: The power cord is terminated with high-quality connectors that provide a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. These connectors maintain the integrity of the electrical signal and ensure reliable power delivery, making the Frey 2 Power Cord suitable for even the most demanding high-end audio systems.

Benefits of the Nordost Frey 2 Power Cord

• Reduced Noise and Interference: The advanced design of the Frey 2 Power Cord effectively minimizes EMI and RFI, reducing noise and interference that can degrade the performance of your audio equipment. This results in a cleaner, more accurate sound with less distortion.
• Improved System Performance: By providing a pure and efficient power supply, the Frey 2 Power Cord allows your audio components to operate at their highest level, enhancing the overall performance of your entire audio system.

Ideal Use Cases

• High-End Audio Systems: The Frey 2 Power Cord is perfect for audiophiles who want to improve the performance of their high-fidelity audio system by providing a cleaner, more stable power supply to their components.
• Home Theater Systems: For home theater enthusiasts, this power cord helps reduce noise and interference, ensuring clearer dialogue, more detailed sound effects, and an overall more immersive experience.
• Upgrading Standard Power Cords: The Frey 2 is an excellent upgrade for replacing standard power cords, delivering a significant improvement in sound quality and system performance.

How to Integrate the Frey 2 Power Cord into Your System

1. Identify the component to power: Determine which audio component(s) you want to connect to the Frey 2 Power Cord, such as an amplifier, DAC, CD player, or preamplifier.
2. Replace the existing power cord: Unplug the existing power cord from your component and replace it with the Frey 2 Power Cord, ensuring a secure connection at both the component and power outlet.
3. Ensure proper placement: Arrange the power cord to avoid unnecessary bends or contact with other cables to minimize the potential for interference.

Who Should Consider the Nordost Frey 2 Power Cord?

The Frey 2 Power Cord is ideal for:

• Audiophiles who seek to extract the highest level of performance from their high-fidelity audio system by upgrading their power supply.
• Music enthusiasts looking for a noticeable improvement in clarity, detail, dynamics, and overall system performance.
• Home theater enthusiasts who want to enhance the audio quality of their home theater system by providing a cleaner, more stable power supply.

Comparison with Other Nordost Power Cords

• Frey 2 vs. Purple Flare Power Cord: The Frey 2 offers a significant upgrade over the Purple Flare model, with more advanced technology, superior conductors, and better insulation. This results in enhanced clarity, lower noise, and a more dynamic sound, making the Frey 2 a higher-performing option.
• Frey 2 vs. Heimdall 2 Power Cord: While both are part of the Norse 2 series, the Frey 2 offers greater performance than the Heimdall 2, thanks to more advanced Micro Mono-Filament technology and improved overall construction. This makes the Frey 2 a top choice for audiophiles seeking the best possible power delivery without stepping up to the even more expensive Valhalla series.

Technical Specifications

• Conductors: Silver-plated, solid-core oxygen-free copper (OFC)
• Insulation: Extruded FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) with Micro Mono-Filament technology
• Cable Geometry: Precision construction for optimized signal transfer
